A Pet's Passing


Sammy, the pig, passed away over the weekend.  She would have been 14 years old this summer, but I know she is so much happier and is probably running and playing with Tosha (the cat).  They were great buddies in their early days.  She hasn't been very mobile for the last couple of years as her little hooves had grown so long and she just wouldn't let us clip them without getting all mad and retreating into her condo.  And, believe me, you don't mess with a pig in her condo!!  We are now completely petless for the first time in over 32 years.  No cows, horses, dogs, cats, hamsters, or pigs.  Completely petless!!  Will miss her cuteness, but . . .
  • no more pig poop to clean up
  • can burn the condo
  • can take down and burn fence
  • can leave home overnight without rushing home first thing to feed the pig
An early spring cleaning list, it looks like, so come on spring!!!
