Said goodbye to my senior pig, Charlie today. He was nearing 6 years old and had developed a small tumor near his back legs in recent days. He was the only pig I've ever known whose ears stood straight up instead of flopping down. Held him in a blanket on my lap as he passed. RIP little man.

@CavyMama, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost two of mine this Summer so I know how you're feeling.My Wolfbane was just about 6, too, but Moo was younger and it was really unexpected. It's really hard, no matter what age they are. Charlie was a handsome guy.... beautiful coloring.

@pinky - Thanks for your kind words. Of the pigs I have had, three have been adoptions from Critter Corral. Charlie (previously Grant) was my second adoption from them. Although he was a senior pig, he was still quite the spry little guy right up until about the last week or so. He had been hiding a lot but really perked up about 3 months ago when I introduced him to Turtle, his eventual buddy. They quickly became best buds, ate next to each other, slept nose to nose, followed each other around.

@Starthecavy123 - Thanks. He seemed happy, especially with Turtle.

@Kelsie - I appreciate that He really was a sweet & handsome little guy.
