R.i.P. Sledge, my hoggie :(

I don't know if offended is the right word - maybe it is.

My Hoggies have never done the usual Hoggie deal of playing dead. In that Shannon's lucky, I think.

I think what it was was all the emotion - the sadness and grief on behalf of Shannon, as well as myself. And so many deaths here lately where the comfort we give each other is deserved.

All the emotion turned to shock when I finished and realized it was a joke. Shannon has been known to post graphic pictures in the name of education and I could see her having done that in this case.

I was hurt and felt betrayed. I don't know if I can justify that - that's just how I felt.

Yeah, I do love my Hoggies. I'm so glad Sledge is okay. It would have torn me up had something actually happened to him.

The title certainly caught my attention, but as soon as I'd seen the first few pictures, I got the joke!
Sledge is hilarious!! I always find it fascinating that a little creature who can't even blink can be so expressive. The sheepish look on his face at the end is priceless!
