My mother in law🙂 She is the one that takes care of my pups and piggies when we go out of town. She is also working in the salon as a bather most Wednesdays. I believe she still has some Thanksgiving availability left… not sure about Christmas for overnight care clients but last we spoke about it she still has openings for in home visit clients

I said I felt two on one side and one in the other… and I was right!!! Andrew made reservations to take me to the Angus Barn for the first time so of course Amy Swinehouse went into labor 😂

Everything went smooth and the piglets are doing well so far. Both neighbors, Grammy Julie Peters and Great Grammy Jeanne Peters have all visited and Amy has been relaxed and accepted visitors happily. You would never even guess she was completely feral just one month ago!!!

Grammy Julie made it here in record time, and the one neighbor said her hubby texted her at work and said Amy was in labor so she excitedly told her coworkers and they said “so why are you still here?!?!” So she left and rushed over too lol (Kristy Hales Thompson it was Paige😂)

Today/tonight should be the day/night… Amy Swinehouse started attacking everyone (animals) this morning, so Swinona and the dogs have been taken out front to potty to give Amy space to relax, and she has started building her nest! She even stole the blankets out of the doghouse and brought them into the farrowing pen:) She has gotten snotty with Andrew but the only thing she has done to me was try to rip my shirt off of me to nest with… no idea what her opinion will be when the babies arrive but so far I’m definitely the only one she doesn’t mind near her… but I also am the one that gives her all the nom noms!

Amy Swinehouse is almost touching the ground with that belly now! I’ve got an outdoor pen built and the kitchen set up for farrowing… plenty of towels, heat lamp, gloves and l**e in case of stuck piglet, little snips for clipping the tips of their milk teeth, chlorhexidine spray for their umbilical cords, iron dextran to inject the piglets at 3 days old, extra straw, hay, piglet feed… already had other supplies on hand but got them organized and ready…oxytocin, calsorb, pain reliever if needed for mama, disposable scalpels for castrating the boys when it’s time (and a little lidocaine although it isn’t normally used but I will because I just can’t imagine doing it without!), dewormers, thermometer, electrolytes, honey… only thing left is to order vaccines but waiting until they arrive so I have a head count! Soooo… I may be a lil bit over prepared lol I even have blankets and pillows ready to sleep on the kitchen floor with her if she wants or needs me!!! I gave her her ivermectin dewormer last week and started a 3 day fenbendazoke course yesterday as well as ponazuril to clear any remaining parasites from her since piglets usually aren’t dewormed until 6 wks old so want mama cas clear as possible, even doing the dogs and Swinona and keeping the yard impeccably clean for the next few days… I may be nesting more than Amy haha. I am never this way with my puppies!!!
And poor Swinona sprained her right front leg yesterday so I’ve got her on an anti-inflammatory and doped her with Tramadol last night night (have to admit she was adorable when it hit her and she would lift her head just enough to eat some ice cubes last night but ooooh my did she sleep good lol) she is not limping today and the swelling has gone down so I’m going to give her one more dose of Meloxicam this morning and hopefully she will be good from there. 
I raised two boys that if they had cut their leg off I’d tell them to rub some dirt on it and that’s what they got for doing something stupid… tough love style lol… but I am over the top rediculous with these 🐷 🐷’s but in all fairness… they are much better behaved than my boys were too!!!

We have piglets on the way!!! From feral scared piggy to a sweet and housebroken companion within only 3 weeks… our new little Amy Swinehouse had more mammory development than I thought was normal. Because I had my Swinona Ryder spayed early, I didn’t have experience with pig heat cycles and thought it may be due to that. The guy we bought her from said there was ZERO chance she could be pregnant. Well, she definitely is and they are moving all around in there! So now I’m doing all my research on farrowing and raising piglets… that I believe will arrive within the week! So if anyone knows of anyone that is considering a PET piggy, send them my way!

Fun new work shirt 🙂

01/25/2024

Thinking it’s time to get rid of some excess stuff since it is coming up on tax time…
07 Ultra Classic 10.5 as it sits or listing at 11 if I get the work done (needs radio, new bolts on one of the bags, and exhaust pipe tightened)
08 Impala 4.5 only 130k miles (runs perfect has exhaust leak I haven’t gotten fixed and needs new tires on the front, driver door has a small gap, but opens and closes just fine and doesn’t let any moisture in then that way for two years now and there is a small dent on the trunk)
I will get out and get them cleaned up and take fresh pictures for the marketplace listing. Just putting this out here in case anybody knows anyone looking you can send them my way :-)

Another severely matted case on this sweet cockapoo. It is always heartbreaking to have to completely remove a coat, but it is the only humane thing to do when they are in such poor condition. She left a very happy girl and was definitely enjoying being scratched and pet all over her body after not being able to feel her skin for so long.

I know many of my clients love my sweet pet pig, Swinona Ryder… if any of you have considered having one of your own, here is a little boy that is in need of a home. I would be happy to help you learn everything you need to know about caring for a pet piggy. it is my understanding that this little boy has already been neutered, so could make an excellent family pet! 

UPDATE! HE WAS ADOPTED!
We don't often have pigs up for adoption, but we do have a pet pig that needs a good home now so we wanted to talk about him. His name is "One Time."
One Time's owner was not able to keep him so he ended up at our shelter. Unfortunately, pigs sometimes end up in shelters because owners find out that having a pet pig is not what they expected. So, we're looking for someone familiar with pigs or someone willing to put in the work and research to properly care for a pig. We're making him comfortable but a shelter is no place for a pig long term. He is incredibly sweet. HE WILL LIKELY GET MUCH LARGER, so a large, sturdy pig house and a secure fence (he was fond of getting out and getting into trouble) are necessary. He would likely love the company of other pigs. Pigs are social, intelligent animals that make wonderful companions. He is neutered, dewormed, and microchipped. Like any animal adopted from our shelter, he will need basic veterinary care throughout his life. For some basic care tips for pigs, visit https://blindspotanimals.com/basic-vet-care-of-pet-pigs/.
Feel free to stop by our shelter and speak with our front desk if you're interested in this guy. He's a special pig. ❤ You may also call 919-942-7387, option 3, for more information.

I've started an Instagram account and have a web and graphic designer (Inda Luciano) working on updates to the websites for both Mema's Grooming and Mema's Poos (formerly Kack's Poos) for my Maltepoo & Miniature Poodle puppies! She has also created an awesome new logo that I can't wait to reveal! It is time for a facelift!!!

This week I was trusted to work on this sweet boy who was just adopted. His previous family did not take care of his grooming needs and his very first groom he had to not only get used to clipping/drying/standing, but had to be completely shaved due to the extreme pelt matting. With patience and care, I was able to work him through the groom and he left feeling so much better! Congrats to his new owner, and to him for being such a champ!
