Halo was the world's bestest piggy! I got him from a farm when I was only six years old, and had him all the way up until I was 15! When I first adopted him I remember him being quite shy... He was a very laid back pig and this was one of the reasons I chose him out of all of the other pigs on offer, I was very close to choosing a little brown baby with a white rose of the top of his head, then I remember peering into a little box and seeing Halo stretched out in the hay with his beautiful colourings that I had never seen on a guineapig before. After he'd been with the family for a number of years he became the most docile and affectionate pets I have ever owned, he would lie on my chest while I watched TV and fall asleep, he would run around the house and chase my feet, I could even trust him enough to let him run around in my large open garden as I knew he would come back to me and not run away if I approached him!
He lived until a very ripe old age, and became quite a 'grumpy old man'
rumbling at any loud noises or bright lights, but became no less friendly or
affenctionate towards me or any other people. Sadly, Halo became ill with cancer,
and although he was very old, the vets said he was strong enough to have surgery so
we felt we should give him another chance! Surgery went very well and Halo came
out of it cancer free, however it did leave him quite run down and unable to live in
his nice big run outdoors. He spent another three months living indoors with constant
treats and cuddles before he unfortunately passed away during a loving cuddle early
in the morning from old age. Although I now have two new baby pigs years after
losing Halo, I think about him every day. I love my new babies a lot but they have not
yet matched the absolute brilliance of my old friend Halo, I miss him very much. He was the best pet I could have ever
asked for.
