It is with much sadness that I must announce the loss of a very special LAPS member, Snowball. Snowball made his journey to the Rainbow Bridge on Saturday, August 25th. He was 5 years and 2 months old.
Snowball was an extraordinary pig that lived his life to the fullest. He was a LAPS piggy despite having a malocclusion. For the past couple of years, Snowball had to have his molars and incisors trimmed by his vet every month. The procedure left his teeth sore for several days but he managed to maintain his LAPS weight despite the troubles. Much of the credit can be given to his slave, Carla, who lovingly syringed him critical care and fed him more edible portions of his favorite treats. Snowball was also the drummer of the infamous band, the Rumblestrut Blues. He even had the opportunity to write his own song with the help of his brother Snickers entitled Super Wheek. You may remember jamming to this song at the Piggy Olympics earlier this year. Snowball loved to travel too. He rode on his favorite airline, PigAir, to places like England, France, Lake Elsinore and California (to see his girlfriend Cookie). Snowball leaves behind his slaves (Carla and Tony), his brother Apache and his doggy brother Fluffy. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.
