So sorry for your loss as well. There is just something different about these amazing creatures, if only we could of had them awhile longer.I will probably have another someday, I miss his little whistle and those eyes.

We did the humane thing and put my Pumbaa down, he would not of had a quality of life and I would only be keeping him for my own selfishness. I have not cried this hard in a long time, he really made his way deep into my heart. RIP my little Pumbaa.
