Re: Guilt of euthanizing my piggie is killing me

I couldn't imagine how hard it was to make that decision. I also know it's so difficult to draw the line between quality of life vs quantity. I felt you gave her the quality of life she deserved and being as old as she was and peeing dark urine could of meant her old age had finally caught up to her. One of my pigs passed away last summer....I'm still grieving over him and today....the roses I planted overtop of his grave where he's buried are beginning to bloom. I can feel your sadness. It's hard to loose someone/animal friend we love. I have 5 boys that I truly just adore, yet dread the day when they pass on...for this reason, I cherish each moment I spend with them. Sometimes I feel guilty for not spending enough time due to my work schedule...so I can relate to your being gone most of the time and feeling guilty over it. I believe that people and animals come into our lives for a reason, not by chance. I feel God gave me my boys to take care of for a reason he only knows. Your piggy may have passed but her new life has just begun in a place that is warm and filled with love.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
God Bless
