Our darling Emily, Almost 5 years ago we adopted Emily, thought to be around 2 years old at the time. Making her at least 7 when she passed this morning.
I adopted Emily as a friend for young Lottie, they quickly made good friends and shortly after took on a husboar, Lion. They stayed that way until Lotties sudden passing a few years ago, which I could tell was sad for Emily.
After quite some time I decided she needed another ‘girlfriend’. And found Buttons looking for a home. Lion and Emily were both happy for Buttons to join them and Emily soon went back to her happy little self. The three of them have been a wonderful trio, perfectly matched. All very chilled out and enjoy each others company. Emily always looked after her friends, cleaning their eyes.
She’s been with us through a house move and our first baby. A quiet, easy going, beautiful piggy whom us humans and her friends are going to miss deeply.
Emily showed signs of aging over the past year, boney hips and a big belly. She had a lump on her side which the vet tested and was benign. Despite this she never looked sick or sorry, just content and enjoyed her simple life of good friends, good hay, and good food. On Wednesday she was her usual chipper self, had her dinner as always and demolished her pellets just before bed. Thursday morning she didn’t seem herself.i booked her the next available appointment at the vets in a few days time but by the afternoon she was looking worse. It seemed as though fluid had built up in her neck and chest area.
I gave her some critical care just before bed which she thoroughly enjoyed. And I knew in my heart she was going to die in the night. (And if she hadn’t was going to take her to vets first thing to be PTS). I got up at 4.30 am to check on her. Emily was laying peacefully with a little bit of hay in her mouth, she was gone.
Sleep well my dear sweet little one.
New pig cuddles with Emily!
Emily and Lottie bonding in 2020
Always content
And beautiful
A good friend
Never any trouble
And loved her hay
