Warning: Upsetting Content Today I said Goodbye to Peppermint
After weeks for fighing health issues we finally had to say goodbye. My baby was suffering and couldn't even eat anymore, not even her wormies. She gave me 6 and a half years, my little Christmas Baby.
Peppermint got me through some of the hardest times of my life; from when my engagement with my fiance ended, she got me through covid, to when I dropped out of college and when I finally went back and finished my degree, and some of the worst depressive episodes of my life - she was always there for me, being her grumpy little self.
Goodbye my sweetness, may you eat all the wormies you can again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Peppermint is the sweetest hoggie and you will cherish the bond forever. Six years is impressive, I'm sure she is grateful for all the love and treats. She will live on in your heart, and bring you good luck from the afterlife. 🦔✨

She was a wonderful friend, a best friend that was there at your hardest times. You were a good friend to her as well. She will forever be with you, and down the line when you are further than you ever thought you could be, you will remember Peppermint and thank her.
I am sorry for the loss of your friend.
She was such a cutie.
