a not very good video<\/a>. Just for introductions. I’m hoping to make something better later.<\/p>\nI must say, “wombat” is definitely one of my most favourite of words. Isn’t it just lovely? Good words always remind me of that Monty Python sketch. Woody and tinny words. Wombat is very, very woody. Any suggestions for a name for the little critter?<\/p>\n
Today I fed the animals. And it was with no little sadness that I looked at the feeding list and saw:<\/p>\n
Yvonne: there is no pig (sniffle)<\/p>\n
No Yvonne to feed. Ms Piggy is gone. I wasn’t there when she left. But I met Bodil yesterday and she had been there. She told me that it all went quietly and easily. So that’s good at least. And if there is a heaven for animals then I’m sure they have a place for a giant, sweet pig. She can rest now. I’m not sure I wrote about it, but the last time I got to feed her she could barely walk. Very different from how it used to be. You might remember that she was always the impatient one, the one who had to be fed first. I’d had to order her to step backwards because she’d come running up before I could empty the bucket of food into her trough. But that wasn’t a problem the last time, she could barely walk up to the trough, it was obvious she was in pain. That’s no life for anyone, animal or human. So I am glad that she is no longer in pain. And she will be remembered fondly. A family came by while I was feeding today, and the first thing they asked was “where is the pig?”. She was well known and loved. And it is very, very empty in there without her. She was so massive, not only physically but also just in her presence. She was beautiful and impressive.<\/p>\n
Rest in peace, Yvonne.<\/p>\n
