Obviously, the more animals that you own, the more animals that you own will die. This was not a good week for us.

First Bella, our Nigerian Dwarf goat died.

This wasn't exactly a shock, as she was getting up there in age, but it's still sad to lose such a sweet little girl.

Then yesterday, I went to feed the animals (as always) and my piggie Hogrid was pretty much dead. He'd been fine the day before. He ate like usual, took some dog treats from me, got some scratches, etc, but the next day he basically unconcious and unresponsive. In fact, he was so far gone that i didn't even call the vet, as I'm quite positive there was nothing that could be done.

Here he is as an OMG cute little baby! He gave me NO END of trouble when I first got him, and he refused to eat! He wasn't underaged or anything, but he was still with his mum, so I guess he was still suckling, and I jumped through so many hoops to get him eating on his own. Eventually it was sweet potatoes that won him over to solid food. ;)

This is him a few years later. As you can tell, once he took to eating, there was NO GOING BACK! :D Harry is actually holding a crab apple for him.

I'll miss you Hogrid. I hope there's lots of clover and apples where you are now.
