Tree is the brown and white patched one…
Today little Tree went to be a star on Planet Guinea, she’s the dark and light patched one that likes to shadow other stars.
Tree was one of the heavier babies but that didn’t count for anything today. This morning she was out of sorts, still active but something wasn’t quite right. This afternoon I found her little body on its own, she had passed away some time ago. I must admit I was more disappointed than shocked, I was half expecting it. I just hope this is the last one to leave us, it’s not good for Mum (Posy) to keep losing them like this. They may only be animals but there is a sense of loss I’m sure.
Despite the sense of loss a mother sow will let the babies have their own squabbles about who’s going to suckle, there’s no ‘he’s smaller than you etc etc’, and nature plays a big part.
