Wow...I just got his xrays. When I first looked at them on Tuesday, all I saw were the 2 large ones, and what looked like 5 or 6 really small ones in some sort of a sack. When I took a really close look at the them tonight, what looked like a sack, is actually something that looks like Mum's xray above. I will take a picture of the xray tomorrow and post it. It just seems to get worse.

Your Courtney sounds like such a caring child. Knowing that sometimes you have to love enough to say goodbye is a hard lesson to learn at her age. Ellie is just a little bit younger and I know she would not be handling things with as much grace as Courtney seems to be. All of you are in my thoughts tonight.

She has never lost one of her own pets, but she has lost a number of her favorites in the rescue. She always seems fine when I tell her, sad, but fine. But then she goes in her room and cries. She always tries to be very brave, but she is actually a very emotional child and feels things deeply. I am not really sure how she is going to handle this when the time comes to say good bye.

I'm so sorry. I'm thinking of you, Courtney and Scooter. I agree that Courtney sounds like a very sweet and caring girl.

Courtney reminds me of me. It can be tough feeling things so stongly, but empathy can also be a real gift. I hope things work out as best as possible with Scooter.

I think Scooter has made the decision for me. He is so weak and frail. His eyes are all sunken. For the first time ever, I just found all 3 pigs snuggled together, head to head. I just had a talk with Courtney and gave her all the info and told her we had a decision to make. She started crying and said, "i think it is time to say good-bye."

I'm so sorry about poor Scooter. It's so hard to watch a pig with stones get so frail and thin. I know you are doing what is best for him. Please take care.
