Happy Spooktober from Baby Ray

*He Is Alive In All Photos* 

Yesterday Morning | Noticed He Was Very Lethargic So I Picked Him Up Only To Realize He Was Breathing Very Oddly Almost Like He Was Hiccuping. I Don't Drive So I Had To Ask My Dad To Take Me To The Vet, It Was Sunday So Most Of The Vets Nearby Were Closed Prompting Us To Drive About 15 Minutes To An Emergency Vet. I Live In California And It's Been Super Hot Lately So I Was Worried He Might Over Heat On The Way There But We Made It. 

  Once There They Checked Him Out And The Vet Told Me That It Was Likely That He Had Some Sort Of Respiratory Illness But She Wanted To Do Some X-Rays To Be Sure. During This Time They Had Him On Oxygen Since He Was Having A Hard Time Breathing, And Also Suggested That We Leave Him There For 24hrs Otherwise They Did Not Think He Would Make It Considering His Current State. She Said The Other Option Would Unfortunately Be Euthanasia. After The Vet Consulted We Went Over Costs And To My Surprise Everything Came Up To 2k Which Is More Than I Expected. I'm A Student And I Don't Currently Work, My Only Form Of Income Is Selling On Depop Which I'm Fairly New To. I Was Willing To Take Out A Loan Or Reimburse My Dad To Cover The Costs But After Carefully Considering Things I Wasn't Sure If It Would Make Much Of A Difference Especially Since The Vet Explained To Me How Sick He Was. I Really Didn't Want To Go With Euthanasia But It Just Seemed Like It Was The Best Option In The Moment, My Family Also Agreed. 

  While Sitting In The Dull Room I Just Kept Thinking About When We Had To Euthanize Our Family Dog, The Image Just Kept Replaying. But I Also Thought About Him Joining His Brother Snoh, Entering Rainbow Bridge, And Just Truly Being At Peace. So The Vet Explained How The Procedure Would Go And They Let Me See Him First. He Was Wrapped Up In A Cozy Little Blanket He Was Still Moving Around And Even Managed To Unwrap Himself Out The Blanket. He Soon Calmed Down And Laid In My Arms With His Head Resting On My Arm. I Managed To Get Some Photos And Videos Of Him In This Moment. I Tried To Console Him Best | Could, Stroking Him And Talking To Him. It Was Serene For a Short While. But Then The "Hiccuping" Seemed To Worsen, He Began Jerking And What Not I Got Scared And Tried To Ring The Bell For The Vet While Also Trying To Calm Him. He Stopped And Then He Was Gone. I Couldn't Believe It. An Hour Or Two Ago I Had Hope That Everything Would Work Out But I Guess I Was Wrong. They Took Him To Confirm But I Already Knew He Was Gone.

  I'd Like To Think That He's In A Better Place Now With His Brother Snoh Running Through Fields. But Now A Piece Of Me Is Missing. Every time I Pass His Cage And He Isn't There It Just Feels So Wrong. I Always Imagined Him In My Future, When I Moved Out Of My Parent’s House I Wanted Take Him With Me But Now That Will Never Happen. 

  Well Now I'll Honor Him By Giving Him A Nice And Proper Burial And Make Sure He'll Rest Comfortably. I Considered Cremating His Remains But I Just Couldn't Bear The Thought Of Burning His Precious Little Body Up I've Never Cremated One Of My Piggies Before. I Was Also Considering Getting Some Sort Of Keepsake Or Even A Tattoo (Would Be My First). It Would Be Much Appreciated If You Guys Told Me Some Of The Things You All Did To Memorialize Your Piggies. I Think I'll Wait Awhile Before Getting Another One, Just Until I Get Myself More Situated. 

  Anyways, Sorry For The Long Post, I Just Had A Lot On My Mind Since Yesterday. If You Actually Read All Of This, It Means A Lot And If You Didn't That's Understandable Too Lol. 

Rest Easy My Darling Sylvester 2021-2024 💐

P.S. Give Your Piggie An Extra Carrot, They Were His Fav 🥕❤️

reminder of how to report animal abuse online to police

Does this sub have active mods? I just saw a horrible video posted by an animal abuser. Please report the video and user asap. If you know where they are located, PLEASE contact the authorities in their area as this is a crime. 
MODS!!!!!! if you are active and see this, this KEEPS HAPPENING. THIS SUB NEEDS SOME KIND OF VERIFICATION OR KARMA REQUIREMENT! I am crying my eyes out after seeing some sick troll’s animal abuse video.

So sad…

She weights 1kg / 2.21 pound. My other pig only weight 756g /1.66 pound. Does she need to go on a diet?

Rockin' round the lettuce Christmas tree 

Strawberry wrapped and suspended with a pajama string. Without having anything to stand on or brace themselves with they show remarkable balance and coordination as well as grabbing the strawberry with their teeth while it was swing.

AirDrop!

We pinned a tubular lock box on the wall and then suspended a string down through it from the top and attached a strawberry on the end. We left it suspended part way up through the box so that it was not extremely easy to get but rather gave them something to figure out and do as well as some exercise.
