She's running with my little boy, Quagmire today. :( He had a similar story: endless weight loss with no real diagnosis. In the end, I think his body just gave up. They are both at peace now.

I miss him so much, as I'm sure you miss your Inca. The pictures made me smile. :)

Tracy, I've been thinking of you often. I love these pictures of Inca. She really looks happy in her grass haven here. I don't think for as long as we live we'll ever be the same without them here as we once had them, but there is hope and looking forward to the future with them. I have come to sense we will have this coming day anyway. She's a pretty girl, bright and lovely, and you are a special and loving Mom. You were both lucky to have one another <3

What a beautiful little girl. Thanks for posting these.

We honor and remember ours on the dates that they left us. Since we don't know for sure when any of them were born, we mark the date that they left. Honoring and remembering their being is the important thing.

Best to Inca, and to you.

NakedWheekers, I'm glad the photos made you smile -- piggies have that effect, don't they?, even when they're gone. I'm sorry about our boy Quagmire.

DaveandTiff, yes, whenever I bring piggies to the Boston Pignic I am always sure to take several grassy photos. That way I can really visualize them at the Eternal Meadow, when the time comes. I have a photo collage in my bedroom of all my departed piggies on the grass, and it's comforting to think they are together -- grazing, exploring, taking turns with Follow the Leader, etc.

Talishan, I try to celebrate them on their estimated/designated birthdays (or actual b-day, if I know), their adoptions days, and the dates they left. With 11 piggies on my roster, that makes for lots of celebrations throughout the year!

Lynx, wonderful memories for sure... though Inca had challenges for much of her life, even before hyperthyroidism. But a real trouper; she just went with the flow. So very sweet... and very trusting of her Mama through all our ordeals (major miracle when she survived bloat, for example).

I do miss Inca and all the others -- doesn't go away but hurts less over time.

Thinking of you and Inca right now. Just wanting to say that you have both been in my thoughts alot over these past months. She has become a special part of our lives though we never had a chance to meet her. I wish we could have. One day I believe we will have that chance. Just wanted to honour her here with love, and thoughts to you for your loving care of her over her life here on earth.

Aw, thanks. She was "Mama's special piggy"... OK, one of 'em. A very sweet, gentle, trusting soul who didn't deserve the bad stuff that happened to her (though none of them do).

<3 She looked very sweet like this. Having such a close bond and connectedness is a feeling not everyone truly experiences, at least in what I have sensed with talking with many. I think you have had something very special with her. I know I have felt this bond with mine. And "didn't deserve the bad stuff", what I was just thinking yesterday. I wish we could take on these things for them, they don't deserve to have to go through them. And I think of that more when they've already had some struggles in their pasts.
