Now that things are heating up here in northern Nevada, we are filling water and wallows at least twice a day to keep the piggies cool and happy!
Enjoy a minute of pure joy and peace from sweet Patsy Swine and she lounges in her fresh, cool wallow ❤️

Just 11 seconds of Patsy being adorable while we work on tearing down the old pen and cleaning up! Obviously nothing gets done around here without close supervision 🤣🤣

IT IS DONE!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Days of hard work and investments in my dream with the immeasurable support of my incredible husband Daniel Yriarte and the pig pasture is DONE!
Albert, Patsy, Rip, and Clancy took the maiden voyage and gave their approval 😊 we are so thrilled to be able to offer a more natural and enriching environment for our pig rescues! Next steps will be natural toys, a huge shade structure, and a grotto/wading pond with waterfall 😍😍

Firstly, a HUGE THANK YOU to Comstock Equine Hospital and Dr. Betsy Hertel-Lau for making room on the schedule for our sweet boy Bandit today! We are so blessed to have such an amazing veterinary team available to care for our residents!! ❤️🙏
Bandit was an absolute angel for his first trim EVER! We were prepared for the worst when we pulled in, but upon examination, Dr. Lau assured us that with a trim and some pain management he would have the chance he deserves at the beautiful future he deserves ❤️
She got to work starting with his hind feet then tackling his significantly worse front feet. She found that on his right front foot, his lateral toe (the big toe to the outside of the foot) was twisted around to where he was walking on the top of the hoof rather than the bottom! It is unclear how this happened, possibly an injury as a piglet, so she did her best to make it as comfortable as possible. His left front leg was very bruised from walking on his knees and supporting the vast majority of his weight on that leg due to the painfully twisted hoof on his right foot.
Luckily for Bandit, his teeth are in decent condition based on a quick exam.
We got him home and settled back in. He took his pain and tummy meds as well as some watermelon 🍉 to help with his hydration.
We are going to do everything we can for Bandit. Humans failed him up until yesterday and his new life begins today!

Our new little man is settling well and getting to know his neighbors. Unfortunately, as you can see in this video, our visually impaired old man Arnold is not ready to welcome the new baby just yet! 🤣
We are hoping once baby is healed from his upcoming neuter that we will be able to put him in with Patsy since she is a younger pig and we believe they are both guinea hogs.

Someone was happy to see me!
I just got home from a week in Colorado visiting my family and Patsy could not get enough snuggling! I was so worried she would regress but happily she was actually even more attached to me than before I left ❤️❤️❤️❤️
