We are trying so hard to do a video or go live but we just can’t stop crying . It’s just way to soon still
Every-time we start the video the tears start and then we can’t talk

I truly hope y’all know that Keith and I know you are hurting as much as we are and in shock and I wish I could hug all of you .we thank you so much for loving all our babies and Especially Baby Ziggy Stardust & Susie Q

Some maybe ready for me to stop talking about Susie Q
That’s never going to happen that was one very special girl . And she will never be forgotten

I promise we will be back and be able to talk about anything you want to know
But right now it is still so raw
It’s heart wrenching

We also have packages that I promise we will get to them to .

We thank each one of you for all your ,comments ,messages poke calls (sorry I will talk to you soon )love ,support ,kindness ,and donations to help us bring Susie Q & Ziggy home
And the cost of there hospital bill

We haven’t been long paying off Gracie Lou’s bill and then back to back with 2 emergency . So we apologize we had to ask y’all for money again so soon
It’s getting harder and harder to keep a sanctuary running . But we will never give up on these precious babies

We have faith and we keep believing it’s all going to be ok.

We have some news to share with everyone when we do get back on social media

Thank you for understanding
Thank you for all your love and loving Susie Q
She is watching over everyone of us 💔❤️

How can the happiest pig on earth be gone
Susie Q was one of a kind
This girl endured so much pain and suffering till we saved her

She brought the world so much love and happiness
Susie Q showed everyone not to give up .
Susie Q brought all of us together
She taught us how to love one another and to always be kind .

She was shot 4 xs in the head
Not even 2 weeks of healing and she was mauled by her bulldog
Left to die till her owner got home and found her both times .

That’s when I came in and fought so hard to get Susie Q in our care . Nothing was going to stop me
This precious girl deserves so much better

Not one time did her previous owner offer to pay a dime on this precious girl’s hospital bills

Because of all our amazing followers Keith and myself we all came together to pay for the medical care
We sold everything we possible could to help pay for her medical bills
Nothing was going to stop us in saving Susie Q

UGA Dr Peroni Dr Edwards and the UGa team saved Susie Q not once but twice
It was a miracle that she even made it through being shot and then blessed with another miracle after the dog attacked her

This girl was loved by everyone and she was so happy never ever had a bad day

I rocked her every night telling her how many people love her and that we love her
I would always tell her how special she was

Susie Q loved her 2 years she had with us
We loved every second we had with Susie Q and sharing her with y’all

We are so thankful you all loved her . I know you all are hurting as much as we are and I wish I could hug you and tell you how sorry I am .

We did everything possible for our precious angel
We will never forget her
She left the biggest hole in our hearts
And she took us with her when she left .
Susie Q will be back home by next Friday in her gorgeous Urn

We have a beautiful family that made sure Susie Q was cremated and cherish in the perfect urn and we can’t thank you enough . What a angel you are for doing this for Susie Q and us

We will place her on the Mantel with Baby Ziggy Stardust when he gets home

Our barn will also be named after Susie Q

We are so thankful and so blessed to have all of you here with us
Thank you for all your beautiful kind comments they mean so much to us

I am fighting a demon right now
I really need to pray and stay strong
After all we have been through now not even 2 hours after our precious angel left us

You had the nerve to contact me and ask me for Susie Q’s ashes
You have some nerve .
There is no way in hell you would ever touch our precious girl after what you allowed her to go through not once but twice
She would be here today if she hadn’t been shot
So you think about that .
That’s where it all started was in her sinus and killed her . The puss and fluids built up so fast and all through her body

You will never touch this angel

Our precious Susie Q you rest now
Enjoy all the amazing beautiful friends you have met now
You are whole again pain free
You were loved so much

It’s not fair that it was your time
I am so thankful I had the time we did have with you

I look for your all day long
My heart is just killing me

Love you always and forever
Mama loves you & misses you like crazy 💔

I have cried so many tears over you my perfect angel
How is this even real .
I miss you so much I just can’t bare the fact that you are gone We have gone through so much together . I watched you fight the battles of your life and pulled through them
But this time we couldn’t save you . And that hurts so much
I’m lost without you . I can’t sleep or eat . I miss you more than anything .
I know you and baby Ziggy are both running free having all you can eat buffet of all your favorite foods . Eating all the grass and running the pastures of the golden gates.
I know you are pain free now . Susie Q I am so sorry my sweetie that we had no idea you were even sick
This jumped on you so quick without any symptoms and then you were gone
I would have done anything to have saved you .
But God needed you more .
You had to go to help take care of the other piggies in heaven and be with baby Ziggy Stardust
I just miss you so much .

You gave everyone so much joy ,faith ,happiness ,laughter ,smiles and pulled everyone together . You showed so many what true love is and to always love one another

All your amazing followers are hurting too
I wish I could help them and tell them how sorry I am that you are gone
It broke all of us baby girl
You were so loved by so many and we are so thankful for all that loves you

Now go get your rest and help with all the piggies and other animals .
You are going to have the time of your life
No more battle wounds
No more pain

Omg how much I love you
You took me with you baby .
I love you and miss you so much 💔💔💔💔

This is so hard
I can’t do this without her . Life is so hard
I had to share this with you all to cause the way you loved her and we thank you for loving Susie Q as much as we do

The most precious girl ever
Susie Q ❤️💔❤️
I couldn’t believe how this rainbow showed up the day after we lost our baby girl .

I’m so sorry I just can’t get it together to be on social media yet

Thanks for all your love and support
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
