Guys….I have the hardest news to share today.

I had to make a decision today for Miss Raisin. My heart is hurting right now…

Raisin was surrendered here a couple of years ago. I decided to make her a sanctuary piggy, to keep her safe. She had been alone all her life, so I really wanted her to have girl piggy friends. She joined my herd of girls. She loved being with other piggies. She would always cuddle up to them and be in the middle of the pack to keep warm. She adored the babies here and was an awesome auntie to them. She would gather them around her and just love on them. She loved her food and was always so excited for the veggies to arrive. She also loved oats and would bury her nose in them. She was always excited to see us……

Raisin was also on many of my videos on the page. You know, she arrived with the name Raisin, and I always thought it was the most perfect name for her. She looked like a Raisin to me. I am going to miss her so much.

Raisin had slowed down the last few months, but was still happy and doing all she loved to do, but I was aware there were changes. Over the last couple of days, things changed. She was still eating and still had excitement…BUT she was also quiet and it became apparent she had liver issues. She was struggling to breathe easily, and I had to make the decision no one wants to make. I keep telling myself that in this case a day early is better than a day late. It’s hard, but I know in my heart that I made this decision in love for her and it was the right thing to do. Ugh….this is hard guys.

I have many beautiful memories of my sweet girl that I will treasure forever. I know many of you loved Raisin too…and I’m sorry to have to share this news with you.

RIP my sweet sweet girl. Run free at the rainbow bridge with all your friends. We will meet again…we love you baby girl. 🐾🌈🐾

This is the little Texel boy, born just over a week ago.

I am not for sure what his future will be just yet. He may be a friend for Gizmo, the abandoned piggy, who is here gaining weight, or I may wait for a
Teddy boy for him. Not quite sure yet.

Either way this stunning Texel boy, will be looking for his family in a few weeks, maybe with Gizmo, maybe not.

Super cute little guy……

Have a great afternoon guys….🐾💙🐾

Good news for this little girl.

She is going home with her sister to join a herd of females.

I know exactly where they will be and I know they have the best life ahead of them. They will be very loved for sure.

Today they had back nail trims. Just the tips, and their going home dose of ivermectin to protect them from lice and mites while they settle into their new family and routine.

They are ready for their life of love and veggies!

Thank you to their new family for giving them their home together…🐾🌸🐾

This special little girl has her family waiting for her in a few weeks.

They have patiently waited for her to arrive for a very long time…

She will be joining an awesome herd of female piggies. They live like queens and are very loved. She is a very lucky girl to be joining this family for sure.

She is a Texel piggy.

I meant to post this update last week…

This is Gizmo , who was found abandoned a few weeks ago. He has been here gaining some weight as he was painfully thin.

He is such a fun piggy. He is always at the front of his pen, wanting you to say hi to him. He plays! lol. I go to stroke him and he popcorns really high around his cage space. He is so funny. Such a happy and playful boy.

He will stay here until I have a friend for him. I plan to bond him to a baby boy when one becomes available here. Then I will look for a special family…..

He is doing great! 🐾💙🐾

This little girl will soon be looking for her life of love and veggies.

She is a Rainbow Teddy, and was tiny when she was born, but she caught up nicely. Super pretty….
