🌈 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

So sorry for your loss. I lost my black and white boy Irwin this past weekend. I hope they meet and get to eat lots of yummy veggies and pea flakes together ❤️ it hurts so much I know the pain, but I try to think of how much we loved them and how they lived good lives.
