Rosebert is almost 7 and finally it shows. His back legs have given out and he mostly is able to rest in one spot. I put a soft blanket under him and I can change that several times a day. I put small dishes of food and water within his reach. He mostly rests and the other piggies keep him company.
I know that he is failing so this won't last. Rosebert has been a fine pig and he has lived a full life. As much as I can I am making him comfortable and I am checking on him. He is not sick he is just very old.
Norbert his younger brother is almost the same age and he is showing signs of aging as well.
It seems forever ago that Miss Charlie was pregnant and little baby Rosebert was born, followed a few months later by baby Norbert. They were both so cute. And now here we are at the end of their lives. Time has gone so fast.
