June 2009
Andy Werth and his band did a benefit concert for Pigs Peace Sanctuary in West Seattle at Easy Street Records. The music was amazing. The place was packed and the animals benefited. Yeah! Max the dog was diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament, ouch.
Yearly vaccinations given. Piglets Tony & Daisy spending more time out of the house and with other pigs. NARN friends did a benefit potluck picnic for the sanctuary at Cowen Park in Seattle and raised $60! Thank you pig friends!
Two day Vegan Bake Sale was a great success at Sidecar for Pigs Peace. Thanks to Bethany who organized the generous bakers -all who came had the problem of too much to choose from!! It was a pig out for the pigs!
Routine tusk trims completed on male pigs. Tusks grow continuously like our fingernails and must be trimmed yearly.
Piglet Daisy spayed at 6 weeks of age. Potbellied pig Stanley to vet for dental work.
Our visiting quarantine continues. Judy calls CDC and the head state veterinarian to discuss Swine Flu and our visiting situation. Both recommend that the quarantine continue. The pigs are healthy. A visitor can have no symptoms yet still be a carrier of the flu and infect the pigs. If one pig gets the Swine Flu, they will all get it.
Pig Harry continues with daily skin treatments.
A hot, dry June means lots of daily ponds to fill.
