[Gpdd] [RAINBOW BRIDGE] Condolences for Sheba

[Debbie Jones]

Nichelle We were so very sorry to read of the departure for The Rainbow
Bridge of your beloved little girl, Sheba. If you got her in 2003, she
must have been a Senior Citizen Ageing Miracle Pig ("SCAMP"), and it is a
credit to the love and care you bestowed on her that she enjoyed such a
long and happy life. She was obviously a very dear and constant companion
to you, and we are sure you, in turn, were a devoted slave to her. We can
imagine the hole it will have left in your lives to lose a pig who always
had to have the last wheek, and your grief must be very raw. We hope
Solomon is able to bring you some comfort, but you must be prepared for
the transition period when it is difficult not to notice all the things
that Sheba was and Solomon isn't; we found this difficult when our five
piggies were massacred by dogs in 2003 and we were given some new ones.
Solomon will steal your hearts and endear himself to you equally, but
differently. May it bring you some small shred of comfort to know that
piggies and slaves all over our wonderful gpdd community are thinking of
you at this sad time, and wishing you well. Debbie and the 7 Dolly
Mixtures

"We patronize them for their incompleteness, 
for their tragic fate of having taken a form so far below ourselves. 
And therein we err, and greatly err. 
For the animal shall not be measured by man. 
In a world older and more complete than ours 
they move finished and complete, gifted 
with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, 
living by voices we shall never hear. 
They are not brethren, they are not underlings; 
they are other nations, caught with ourselves 
in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners 
of the splendour and travail of the earth". 
Henry Beston
