Despite our perseverance and some positive signs, Piglet gave up her fight last night.
I take comfort in the fact that she had a lovely last day, sunbathing in the garden while we were creating our new raised veg beds and tidying up. We had brought her outside with us so she could scratch around in the fresh air, undisturbed by others pecking at her, and just amble around as she pleases, which she did. I held her for quite a while, then she found a lovely sunny spot by the compost bins and spread out her wings for a bathe. This is now her final resting place.
We rescued her from a life of battery cages and possibly a dog food factory, and she spent 18 months with us, so I hope we did our bit.
Sleep well x
