🌈In memory of Magpie
Eleven years ago, three bouncy piglet siblings arrived from a petting zoo to our sanctuary. We named them Magpie, Rudy, and Georgina Grace Wiggle Bottom (she was quite wriggly).
Of the three, Magpie loved humans the most. Curious and gentle, she enjoyed flopping over for belly rubs. But she rarely left her siblings sides.
We said goodbye to Magpie after the cancerous mass in her jaw started to cause suffering and pain that we could not cover with support. Surgery was not an option as the majority of her lower jaw bone had disintegrated from the cancer.
Magpie loved everyone. She learned to be extra kind under the care and tutelage of senior-states-pig Mishka.
Magpie had a squishy face and a big, beautiful belly. And she loved her life here so much. If we could have fixed her, we would have. It was a deep honor giving her 11 years of wonder and joy.
Fly free, sweet girl. May you root around in the stars.
