💫🩺 Yesterday Comet was ready for the next step towards goat friends 💕He wasn’t used of human contact before coming here so he has taken a little bit to warm up to us. I have to tell you yesterday was one of those days where you get reminded what we do all of this for🥹

Comet had to get an exam, bloodwork and be the model for Dr Young to show me how to do some basic home assessments that I’ve been wanting to learn . He did so well🥰I couldn’t believe how far this scared little goat has come!! He was calm, patient and so dang adorable ❤️

Now we just wait for test results and finish one medication. Next step meeting Elmo and Moon🐐🐐🐐🏡

If anyone would like to help us towards medical costs we would really appreciate it 🏥 I will put our info in the comments

Throwback to Gwen’s spay recovery 🏥

Every sanctuary has their own protocols. While we understand you can’t always wait we believe in giving new residents time to decompress before undergoing spay or neutering surgery.

Pigs are extremely intelligent and emotional beings. Moving to a new place is really tough on them. Emotional to the extreme that even transport can be risky. Our vet always comes to the sanctuary to give them a initial exam just in case they have other medical issues. We address them and then we wait. Some residents have been ready sooner than others.

Pigs don’t typically handle anesthesia very well. If they are extremely stressed on arrival the surgery will be even more risky. Since all our other animals have been altered we don’t have the concern of a breakout leading to an oops litter.

I personally think sometimes people forget these surgeries especially spaying is actually a fairly invasive surgery. Similar to a woman undergoing a hysterectomy, they can be a tough recovery ❤️‍🩹 Their post surgery is always spent in my home where I can monitor them more especially their body temperature. Anesthesia can make it tough for them to regulate their own body temperature in those first 24 hours after surgery. If they are feeling confused or scared I can be right there🏡

My favorite part of a new arrival is always watching friendships blossom 🌼 🥹🐽🐽 But making sure they get that opportunity at all is more important💕

This is Sprout🌱

He’s for sure double the size Jewel was and the same exact breed🐽 A breed that is very well known for being docile and gentle

This is Zoey💕

She’s 5 years old.She was probably afraid the first time she saw his size. She has courage, intelligence and a kind heart though😉This pic was taken on Sunday as she giggled and played in the snow with zero fear in her eyes

Be more like Zoey🫶

I visited you today😔💔

I told you there hasn’t been one day I haven’t thought about you
I told you how many people cared and wanted to see you live your best life
I told you how sorry I am that we encountered such a monster human
I told you your tragedy can’t leave my brain know matter how hard I try
I told you about my guilt that a cherished friend had to witness what happened
I told you how crazy I felt loving a pig I only got to meet through video
I told you about the family of pigs you were going to live with
I told you before I left that I will fight for pigs and the love they deserve in your honor forever

Love you sweet girl💎💔
