Our family has had two potbelly pigs for about nine years now. This morning the girl, named Lena (Originally Thumbelina because she could fit in your hand when we got her.) passed away from a massive stroke. I think I cried more than for some relatives. In the last few years, I guess I am the only one taking care of them. With two teenagers, it’s hard to get them to feed them or take them outside. Guess I’m just sad I lost my buddy....it’s hard to loose a pet.

Sorry for your loss.

I know the pain. I rarely cry. But when our dachshund of 13 years passed away a couple years ago I cried so much in the subsequent months that my wife was more worried about me than our departed dog. Everything I saw around the house that reminded me of the dog, my eyes welled up.

Your pain will ease with time, but your memories of her will always be the treasure in your heart. Hang in there.

SemperFi · 2 March 2019, 04:52 AM

My condolences on your loss. I feel for you my friend. It is difficult to lose a family pet especially one that depends upon you 24/7.
I can also relate about your comment about crying harder than for some relatives. I’ve done the same.

mjclark32 · 2 March 2019, 04:53 AM

So sorry to hear.
I remember a few years ago talking about how I wanted my bulldog to come meet them.
I know I’ll be a disaster when she goes.
Remember the good times

One of my dogs passed away this weekend. I feel your pain.

It sucks and it never gets easier.

Randy63 · 2 March 2019, 05:29 AM

I'm sorry for your loss. The pain of losing a pet is devastating.

I can relate to crying more over the loss of a pet than a relative.

I’m sorry to hear that. Always very difficult to lose a pet they are family.

bayerische · 2 March 2019, 06:14 AM

She looks like a sweetheart.

Sorry to hear.

Pets are the better part of you.

Sorry you've lost a friend.

bdex75 · 2 March 2019, 06:39 AM

So sorry.

Pets are such an important part of the family. No matter if they have paws of hooves.

We have lost too many.

Though it’s tough for those of you left behind, find solace in that she’s well now, with no worries or suffering.

np2016 · 2 March 2019, 07:18 AM

So sorry for your loss. I love my dogs more than 99% of humans!

Art 1 · 2 March 2019, 07:40 AM

Very difficult I understand.

august1410 · 2 March 2019, 07:49 AM

Sorry for your loss. A few years ago, our beloved elderly cat passed away and I took it really hard. There is nothing that beats the unconditional love of an animal.

My heartfelt condolences. My dog died last August, old age, stroke, she was 14, still was difficult.
There is not a day goes by I don’t think of her, then the weeping begins.
They are family.

cop414 · 2 March 2019, 08:13 AM

So very sorry for your loss.

swils8610 · 2 March 2019, 08:18 AM

Sorry for your loss. I lost my 11 year old German Shorthaired Pointer this past summer and it was awful. Time heals all wounds.

I can identify. Pets are family.

Sorry for your loss. Take solace in the great life you gave her.

sco · 2 March 2019, 08:22 AM

I hear you on this. I have lost too many pets over the years. I know I am better for having them be part of my life.

Everyone says their Pig is the best, and everyone is right. She looks like a sweet girl that had a happy life. Keep your head up, it gets better.

superdog · 2 March 2019, 08:26 AM

I’m sorry to hear. I feel your pain, and I empathize.

I wish I had words that could help you find peace.

JayHantz · 2 March 2019, 08:43 AM

I’m saddened and sorry to hear about your pet’s passing. My condolences.

r8t3d_M · 2 March 2019, 08:52 AM

I’m terribly sorry for your loss. I too know the feeling and sadly it never gets easier. Just try your best to remember the good times you two shared.

Latrodectus · 2 March 2019, 09:09 AM

That is very hard. Sorry for your loss.

timedate · 2 March 2019, 09:31 AM

Thats a shame, but you must seek solace in the fact you gave it a good life,

I own an 8 year old rabbit, had him since he was a baby, he has annoyed the shit out of me over the years with his constant destruction and mess, but he is a very loved animal,

When he goes it will be a sad day, he still seems fine, maybe sleeps more than he used to, but i make a point of letting him do what he likes nowadays, i dont know how long he is going to be around, so he gets double the attention now.

Yoda_Eating_Pizza · 2 March 2019, 09:53 AM

Headshrinker · 2 March 2019, 10:54 AM

I want to thank everyone for their kindness and comfort. Since bring the pig to the vet for cremation, our 1 and1/2 year old Plott Hound has not left my side. Pets seem to have a great capacity for empathy and love.

RichM · 2 March 2019, 11:00 AM

They certainly do become family members. So sorry for your loss.

mjr24 · 2 March 2019, 11:11 AM

Sorry to hear......but I'm envious you had a pig for 9 years so feel good for the times you had! I wish I had one....fiance would never go for this, though.
