its because i am nostalgic.

some of you know

that me and MITCH had a baby mini piggy named

pearl.

i MISS her.

so does MITCH.

she was the sweetest piggy around.

the PERFECT pet.

well she died.

she had a prolapsed rectum.

{this is how her cute little butt looked before the prolapsed rectum}

and this is how it looked with the prolapsed rectum.

and warning this is a little graphic.

this is what it looked like when we first saw it.

it was about 9 am on a monday

we called looking for a vet but no one would see a mini pig.

FINALLY we found one 

but he couldnt see her until 3 pm.

ya by then it looked A LOT worse.

it started dying {turning black} 

she def wasnt her happy cute self 

you could tell she was in so much pain.

well we get there & it was a lot of money for surgery, meds, hospital stays etc.

and after a lot of tears we had to let her go.

{there was a 40% chance she would die because it got so bad. and if she lived, a good chance this would happen again.}

she was the sweetest, most cuddly little piggy.

not to mention the funniest.

here is this video.

makes me laugh every time.

TURN UP THE VOLUME.

i miss her :)

RIP little oinker.

OH &

here is this beauty.

it runs in the family.
