Arrabelle

Arrabelle has been with us for years. We moved her to the Special Needs pig area a few years ago as she aged and slowed down.

We have now recently moved her to the TLC area to be with a small group with physical limitations who are all closely watched. Spud and Ruby are both crippled and experience difficulty walking. Boris has a defective epiglottis.

When Arrabelle went to the veterinarian for a routine dental exam we discovered she has no teeth! No wonder she won't eat carrots, apple or peanut treats. She can't chew! We don't leave her out. We happily cook her carrots, pasta and squashes. We also give her apple sauce. Arrabelle hopes visitors bring uncooked pasta so Judy never runs out!

Winter 2006

Arrabelle passed away in her sleep, surrounded by her friends in the TLC barn. She was very loved and is missed.
