Since then he has been the heartbeat of our animal family. I am so grateful that @melbish1 captured me sat with him last weekend, something I would often do until he would get bored of me and move away.
"He has lived with us for over a decade and wandered wherever he wanted . He had special relationship with Mel’s mum and a unique bond with Mel. I never ever thought we would have a pig as a pet and I never knew how much I would miss him knowing he won’t be there when I go into the garden . Like all pets he gave so much more than he took. Goodnight Milo - I am going to miss our chats."
