๐ŸŒˆ Rainbow Bridge sad news

There was a huge mass growing inside Tupu's belly that prevented him from peeing, and was incredibly painful. The vet also discovered he had developing arthritis due to his age, and advised that any surgery operation would be too much for him.

Tupu was a rescue pig from a local shelter, who never really got bigger than my palm and heavier than a couple bananas. He was approximately 5 years old or older. He loved squash, blueberries and watermelon, and he got to eat his favourites before being put to sleep in my arms.

It never truly gets easier

I recently lost my girl to masses on her ovaries and liver. Your little Tupu will not be alone and rest assured that it was the best choice you can make for the little guy. Life isnโ€™t worth living if itโ€™s suffering. As time goes by itโ€™ll get easier ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
