So sorry to hear that George has gone

We had a dehydrated sow this summer - she just couldn't get enough fluids in what with the heat and feeding eight little ones. We had mixed results with using a watering can to pour water over her snout. What pulled her through in the end was goats milk squeezed in with a kid's feeding bottle.

Thanks to everyone you are all so kind and supportive - I never thought I would grieve so much and probably will always be looking for the answer to "Could I have done more"?

My daughter gave us some strength last night when we rang her to share the news and she said " Mum try not to be sad - George was the start of "The Adventure" and that is how we will remember him.

Thanks again
