Saving a little life :)

My piggy patches died. I miss him so much i wish i could hold and kiss him again. I love him still and forever and i made a memories book of all my 7 pigs in it so i will never forget them. Ever since hes died iv been over whelmed with grief and guilt and sadness, but i know i loved him and he had a great life. I have 6 pigs now, and they seem to be getting back to normal now. Me not so much... I'm a reck. I was think, and i thought i know i can take care of 7 pigs.... And i feel like a should rescue another. I want to rescue a pig and give them a wonderful life as well. My one problem is that i dont wana feel like I'm replacing patches. I feel like if i get another pig that I'm replacing him and moving on. In a weird way i dont want to move on, i wana feel like hes still in my cage and hes gana come back. I know he wont. Idk if i should give another pig a home or not. I know i want to but if that means I'm going to feel like i replaced my baby then idk. DO you have any ideas or thoughs you can share with me? Do you think my baby pig would want me to share the love?

I miss you patchy boy! i will always love you.... rolleyes

I think Patches would be very proud if you rescued another little piggy who needed the love and care that you can provide him.

No other pig can ever just replace a lost piggy, but the focus of caring for a new baby might help you come to terms with the death a bit quicker and easier.

Good for you looking at options to move on, its admirable x

i totally agree... I was in bits when my beloved Rene died. We adopted Finlay to keep Bertie company but I just resented Finlay for not being Rene and that guilt-tripped me no end... Then, Finlay had an accident (he fell off the dining table) and that created an instant bond between us. In hindsight I wish I'd waited a bit more to adopt a new piggy but it certainly helped me focus on Finlay's 'education'.
So give yourself time to grieve and when you feel ready, go for it!
