May I go now? Do you think the time is right? May I say goodbye to the pain filled days and nights? I've lived my life and done my best... as a good friend tried to be. So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free? I didn't want to go at first, I fought it with all my might. But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light. I want to go. I really do. It's difficult to stay. But I will try as best as I can to live for one more day. To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears. I know you are sad and afraid, because I see your tears. I'll not be far, I promise you, I hope you'll always know my spirit will be close to you, wherever you should go. Thank you so much for loving me. You know I love you, too...
that's why it's so hard to say goodbye, and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time and let me hear you say---
because you care so much for me, you'll let me go today.

Little Bit Mize
October, 1998 - February 23, 2011
In memory of a special girl, the light of her family's life. Little Bit was the essence of what every pig brings to all of our lives. Her name may have been "little" but she brought huge smiles and opened hearts to all she met. She was most loved and eventually lost to arthritis and a stroke but no pig could have asked for a more wonderful life with any family. Little Bit, you are sorely missed...
Little Bit's family has made a generous donation to VegasPigPets in her memory so that more pigs, not as fortunate as Little Bit, can have the chance at the love that she had all her life.

Willoe (and Heidi) Burton
9/12/1950 - 9/12/2010
We met Willoe and Heidi when Willoe was first diagnosed with cancer. She was afraid she would be unable to care for and support Heidi with such a hard, long battle ahead. Once we met, we instantly knew Heidi had to stay as she was Willoe's child. Heidi was about 14 years old when we met her, rescued as a baby by Willoe when she was attacked by dogs. She had lost her ears, but her mom more than made up for it with so much love for all those years. We instantly knew Heidi couldn't go anywhere else. We helped with feed and hoof trims and some loving when Willoe was not up to it. We made a promise to look after Heidi if Willoe lost her battle, and unfortunately for this mortal world, she did. Heidi soon stopped eating, did not want anything to do with anyone and just started withering away. At a 20 pound weight loss, we knew she was totally heartbroken. We, along with her family, decided to let her be with to her mom and let them share their eternity together, happily and in peace. I know in my heart of hearts, it was the right decision as sad as it was. Rest in peace my dear friends, you are missed every day. Click Here to remember a wonderful family...
