Alright y'all, I'm officially trying to distract myself from the election so I'm only perusing fellow animal lovers and advocates pages. My fellow farmed animal welfare, rescue, sanctuary friends..... am I the only one that's noticed that Derek Walter has been silent since Steve Jenkins live post where he finally gave his side of the story last weekend ? And that Derek and HEEFS are deleting comments faster than I hid my b**g when I heard my dad pull in the driveway when I was 16 ?

These two crack me up. Bubba was raised as an only (porcine) child before he came here. He's made friends with a couple of cats and a chicken, but was always uneasy with the other pigs. And then came Teddy. Teddy decided his first night here that Bubba was going to be his best friend, and he didn't give a single F**K that Bubba didn't really want anything to do with him. Teddy said they were besties, and Bubba had no choice but to comply. Tedward would not take no for an answer. Many nonconsenting cuddles later, Bubba actually did decide that pigs can be kinda cool. Thanks to Ted, Bubba and Piggie Sue are buddies too now. And he even tolerates Stewart. Bubba is my proof that change is possible.

We're going to have to find a source for these huge boxes, one that doesn't include having to buy an unbudgeted appliance. Jeremiah does NOT want to share.

Our water heater died today, forcing me to unload a six foot tall shelf and move the almost 200 jars of food to get it out. To say that today has been stressful would be a monumental understatement. I was walking through the great room almost in tears, then I saw Jeremiah playing in the ginormous box from the new water heater. He had the biggest smile on his face and that made me smile too. I'm probably not going to get a shower tonight. I can't even get to my coffee pot in the morning until I move about 40 quarts of stuff. But Jeremiah got a really cool new five hundred dollar fort, so it's all okay now.

Walked the back fence lines to check for storm damage, and figured I'd trim along them while I went. The fresh greens were very much appreciated by all, but Franklin and Thea were the only ones I managed to get photos of before my phone overheated. Better pictures coming tomorrow.

Tedward literally has no concept of personal space. I have to admit, I sat here for well over a half hour before I asked my husband for help to escape the cuddle pile. In a perfect world everyone would know the love that I feel from him and his family every single day. Maybe not the bruises though, Ted is HEAVY ! God love him, he just wanted to cuddle, but my legs look like a San Diego sunset. Lol

I mentioned new friends the other day, and tonight I'd like to introduce you to one of them. Meet Joker y'all ! Joker was one of three animals that I promised my daddy that I would take care of when he got sick. So far we've gotten Sam (his 30 year old blue and gold macaw), and as of last week we were finally able to bring Joker home. We're working on getting Thunder, but unfortunately it looks like we're going to have to go through the courts so it may take awhile. In the meantime Joker is settling in beautifully. He loves carrots and apples, and being brushed and told how handsome he is.

When the nice lady at the bread store remembers that Fievel and a couple of his friends really like the sweet stuff, so she adds these to our normal buggy of bread. We're going to have the happiest babies later today.

We're back ! Things have been rough dealing with my dad's death and all of the challenges the weather has thrown at us the last few months. I think I've finally got a handle on everything now and I promise I'm going to be better about posting from now on. We've had a lot of big changes and a few new friends that I'm excited to introduce y'all to over the next few weeks. For tonight though, here's some pictures of a few of our long time residents enjoying the beautiful day.

This guy was hit by a car up by Mephis recently, and was blessed to be found by a good Samaritan who got him to a vet. Unfortunately his finder couldn't keep him, but was determined to make sure this lucky guy ended up somewhere where he could finish healing and have the resources to find him his perfect family. Lucky is a two year old pittie mix, he's neutered and UTD on shots, but will need treatment for heartworm and some training before he's ready to move on. We only meet him today, but I can already tell that he's going to be someone's perfect match before too long.

We have been closed to intakes during our family struggles, but when we heard this guys story, and saw his gorgeous little face I knew we couldn't turn him away. A huge thank you to Eastern Snouts Adoption and Rehoming for arranging to keep this amazing little boy safe until we could transport yesterday ! Meet Tedward James "Teddy" Huprich y'all ! Teddy will be a permanent resident, bit please reach out to us about our other adoptable pigs.

Hello friends ! Sorry for the lack of posts but a few months ago my dad got sick with an aggressive form of cancer, and I was really struggling with making sure our residents had what they needed, while being able to spend ad much time with my daddy while I could. Unfortunately he lost the fight right after Thanksgiving and I've been pretty overwhelmed with grief. I'm still horribly sad but I'm hoping that getting back to sharing our babies with y'all will help me heal. More posts to come, we have a lot to catch y'all up on
