March 2010
We receive a concerning call regarding a piglet that was dumped at an animal shelter at closing. He had a bent and swollen foot. We get him as soon as possible and rush him in for urgent x-rays. We discover his foot is damaged beyond repair. Every bone shattered. We name him Edgar and he will live with the best of care at Pigs Peace Sanctuary. Edgar must have limited movement while he heals so we make his 'home' in our home at the center of the family. Piglets Hamilton and Ella visit him frequently, numerous times each day.
Piglet Hamilton grows. Potbellied piglet Ella spayed at the vet without complications. Previously neutered Hamilton has swelling in his scrotal sack that continues to enlarge. Surgery scheduled and peritoneal fluid is discovered! Very odd!!
Judy Woods, Pigs Peace Sanctuary Founder / Director speaks at the memorial service for Pigs Peace Sanctuary board member Robin Hall. Robin was a strong advocate for animals her entire life and is greatly missed.
Judy visits local Pacific Northwest animal shelter to assist with pig care. We receive a young sow from them. Sally the pig is happy to meet the pigs at Pigs Peace Sanctuary. She has physical limitations with her hind leg and we can help with her long term, long life care.
Four tons of certified organic hay delivered. We stack and stack hay and everyone gets new hay beds!
We have a total surprise of a 70° day! Piglet Hamilton enjoys his first time in a pond! We can hardly wait for summer!
Days later it is back to gray days with cold temperatures and lots of rain, sigh...
