COOKBOOK HELP!!

Anyone who has made or been part of making a cookbook for fundraising purposes — rescue, sanctuary, church, school, non-profit, etc —
I am wanting to put together a cookbook for Wilbur Pepper Mini Pig Sanctuary with the recipes we use on some of the cards and favorite vegetarian and vegan recipes to promote Friends NOT Food and teach how tasty and easy vegan/vegetarian/foraged food is to make!! ❣️🐷👩🏽‍🍳👩‍🍳🌱🍄🌾
I am curious about the best publishers and was hoping to get some recommendations — also, how does it work with copyright issues? Some of my favorite vegan/vegetarian recipes come from other cookbooks and online. I figure I will have to ask permission, and that is fine! But some of the recipes I tweak or change to make more ingredient accessible or for taste preference… anyone know how that would work?

Thanks!!

🪥🦷Is that… toothpaste on the ground????Yup! And here’s why!!

I absolutely love this picture from yesterday! While looking at it again this morning, I noted the toothpaste and sunscreen under the table - which may be an odd sight for most people - and wanted to educate about why you will see those in random pictures. 😊
☀️Around here, sunscreen is SO important for the piggos - esp the white/silver piggos. Sometimes getting up with the piggos to apply said sunscreen can be… well… PIGcariously challenging, lol! So you will often see a tube or spray can of sunscreen at, or near, some of their favorite belly rub stations for a quick grab and application while they are (hopefully) distracted by belly love.
🪥The toothpaste - toothpaste has so many fantastic and fascinating uses! One of those uses for us is on bug bites - specifically those nasty, huge horse fly bites that leave chunks missing 😢. Toothpaste (the ones with extra baking soda) helps soothe the bite and keep gnats and other flies and insects from swarming the wound.
☠️As for poison/ingestion concerns: thankfully ALL the piggos quickly learn that neither of these tubes holds anything tasty. Lol! If you have ever gotten sunscreen in your mouth, you know just a tiny dab is enough to make you try very hard not to do it again.😜And while the piggos like the minty smell of toothpaste (and will tolerate their teeth getting cleaned) they dislike how it foams and bubbles in their mouth. 🪥🦷🫧

Around 6:30am this morning, as Molly, Dolly, Webster and Blade were making their (rather talkative) rounds for morning hellos and love, I heard Pepa Faith rustling and rearranging one of the tarps that hang as a roof/side over our bed.
I looked over to see what she was doing…. trying to get down without bumping into or stepping on anyone? ….rolling over?
NOPE. She was burying her head from the sun and the happy sibling voices 😂☀️🐖🐖🐷👑

I was telling people at the Festival of how bonded Princess Peanut (aka: Tiny Girl) is to my service dog, Murphy (aka, according to Princess Peanut: “her” Murphy 💕) and that, while she sleeps with me every night in my bed, I often have to chase her out of Murphy’s bed first! Lol! In the winter, it is usually moving her from his bed on the floor in the truck/house to my bed; in the summer it is from his dog house which is right next to my outside bed (too lovely to sleep inside during the summer!). I found this little video and thought you all might appreciate our nightly routine 😊😆🐽🥜. 🐽🥜 *dogs and piggos supervised.

Best watched with sound on for happy piggo slurping! 🐖💗👅🥛

Our friends, Julie and Todd, brought Minnie Pearl a gallon of whole milk (thOINK you!!) — usually we make curds and whey out of the milk for her, but yesterday, I mixed it in - fresh - with her other special food.
Tonight, she kept nudging me and I couldn’t figure out what she wanted until I realized she was staring at the milk jug. I forgot to give her some milk today (mom fail, lol)… a fact she was HAPPY to remind me of 😉
So… she got the rare treat of drinking straight from the jug!!! (Yup, it is officially her jug now… I mean, it always was but… grin) 🐖💗🥛
I LOVE her milk-stache at the end!!! 🤍😍and how June Bug (brown dog) is happily cleaning up any milk that Minnie Pearl drips, lol!

*If you are local and have milk you are not using or is about to expire, or if you happen to think of Minnie Pearl while at the grocery store, both fresh milk and curds/whey are an important part of Minnie Pearl’s diet and we welcome donations for her! ThOINK you!

Hi — TRANSPORT VOLUNTEERS!!! I have been in touch with the neighbor where this piggo currently is and said we would be HAPPY to take him here at Wilbur Pepper Mini Pig Sanctuary — but that I need to find transportation help first.

If ANYONE can help with transport, PLEASE comment or message me!! If you have offered transportation help before, I will be contacting you tomorrow, I don’t mean to impose or be pushy - just want to try every possibility to get this sweet boy here for a forever home!

ThOINK you!!!

These sweet boys, my most avid nest-makers, are thrilled that Autumn is on its way: the grass is turning to hay and the leaves are starting to fall!!! They have begun nesting outside — Webster has his grass/hay bed during the day in his favorite napping spot (with one of his favorite blankets that he has built into the grass/hay nest), while Sweet Pete and Blade the Babe have made themselves a squishy leaf nest by the truck/house. 💙
I LOVE watching them build their nests - especially when they carry the grass/hay/leaves around in their mouth and then carefully arrange each blade and leaf to where they want it!

ThOINK you, Jonah Bowling and Ruth, for the yummy fruit baby food!! The piggos LOVE it and the flavors, esp mango, are a special treat!!
The baby food has been a lot of fun to use today for training - they have to work on waiting their turn patiently, sitting, and eating nicely from the spoon — the first being really hard for some of our more excitable piggos, the second for some of our physically challenged piggos, and the third is a newer skill for our newer piggos - and a very important one since a spoonful of peanut butter is the easiest way to give the piggos (most) meds when needed!

Thank you!!!
