... put him in the earth tonight. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do. My wife and I never had kids so our furry kids were our kids. Piggy was smart, funny, had a bit of an attitude but loved everyone. Raised by our Chows. He was the only one out of his litter (8) to make it past 2 years. He lived to be 12. Died before I could make it home yesterday from being in Denver for the Mopar Nationals. He was an indoor cat and has only been outside 3 times in his life. Once on accident and was crying to get back in and twice when we came home with groceries. We never knew but apparently he had liver problems. He always came running to the door when I got home and would talk up a storm about his day. Always "helped" me brush my teeth. Played "hide and seek" and "tag". I shall miss him. He was like the son I never was able to have. RIP Piglet.
