January 2010
Continues a cold, wet winter. We start the month giving out 40 new hay bales for cozier, warmer beds at night. The pigs can hardly wait to go to bed when it's new bedding! Such fun.
Doh Driver, the manager at the sanctuary's vegan store in Seattle, Sidecar for Pigs Peace, was robbed at gun point on Saturday evening. She is safe with new security measures immediately in place. All are saddened that someone would steal from a store run by volunteers that helps a non-profit animal sanctuary!
We receive an urgent call for help with a runt piglet. Little Hamilton comes and is immediately rushed to the vet. He was close to death and required intensive care and attention for days.
Our very old large apple trees get their yearly pruning. They are loaded in buds and we hope for an abundant bounty of apples for the pigs in the Fall.
Pony Esther has acute laminitis and must be quarantined with strict hoof care and dietary limits.
Our greatly used Cargo Van requires an extensive repair. We need this van working strong for as long as possible.
The days are surprisingly warm for a week and the sanctuary dogs are shedding their winter coats months early!
Animal Control calls with request for help for information regarding a 700 lb. impounded sow.
Calls come asking us for help with roosters, rabbits and a ferret. We network for resources of appropriate care.
Will Tuttle, author of Peace Meal Diet, is a guest of Pigs Peace Sanctuary for a visit to meet the pigs.
Four loads of cedar chips delivered and put down for mud free walk ways.
We do our first posting of Facebook. We hope many will be our friends!
