We All Have Friends That Have Crossed Over
Thumpers
Breath
As the wind touches my cheek
My heart feels weak and meek
As the tears roll down my face
I look for a happy place
As the wind blows from the west
I feel my best
With Thumper looking down on my soul
She still sets the goals
The daily love,
I feel for her
My beloved Thumper
Fills my heart so big
With spirit from this wonderful
Potbelly Pig.

Miss Piggy 1988-1991 to 12/07/2009
Miss Piggy was a Grande Lady of the potbelly pig world. She had
quite the social track record, becoming the
leader of the Potbelly Pig
Ordinance in Colorado Springs, Colorado in the mid nineties.
She remained with her original family until June of this year,
when she came to the Pigasus to live, due to health problems with
her humans.
She enjoyed her life at the Pigasus and became immediately a Grande Lady
for all the "Special Needs persons" whom
she came into contact with.
She began feeling not so good right after Thanksgiving. We had her
under constant vet care for the last 3 weeks.
Over this weekend
she began to go off food and not be able to poop. She also had
some throwing up. The decision
was made this morning to take her
to surgery.
After getting into the surgery, Dr. Smith found that an plum size
tumor/abscess had
attached itself to the small intestines and grown around the intestinal
tract, closing it off. The stomach cavity had excessive amounts of
peritonitis.
The small intestines had grown right thru the center of the tumor, the
intestine had swollen to the extent that the tumor could not be removed
and intestine could not be reconstructed. She was closed and
tumor sent for biopsy.
Miss Piggy was laid to rest on this snowy day at the "Uncle George
Memorial Garden" at the Pigasus Homestead
in Mack, Colorado
Miss Piggy previous owner Janice Ward would be appreciative if anyone
would like to email.

We did a photo of the surgery, and will be glad to share also the report
when it comes back.
She has 2 birth dates as they don't have her papers handy, and she was
either 18 or 21.
BUT NO MATTER, she was a Grande Ole Lady of the Potbelly Pig
world......

The Rainbow Bridge
Clicking on the Rainbow Bridge above will take you to Petloss.com, a pet loss grief website.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially
close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to
health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss
someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the
distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins
to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster
and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend
finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head,
and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from
your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow
Bridge together....
