A big thanks to all you beautiful friends who helped with the big fencng project. It’s been a tough month trying to come back from the loss of our sweet Acorn and trying to make double sure all the other pigs are safe going forward..

We could’nt have pulled this off without the incredible support and guidence of the one and only Eric Velleca. I’m so grateful to have such an amazing ,compassionate ,unique and talented human as a dear friend!

RIP sweet Acorn
Our sweet boy, Acorn, beloved by all who met him, was viviously attacked (by what the veterinarians) guessed as being canine related. But nobody knows for sure. And sadly we’ll probably never know.
I cant begin to tell you how much I miss this beautiful being. There is a permanent hole in my heart. His friendly easy going nature filled all of our hearts. He was loved by so many .. Every day was a blessing to have hime here. Chickweed Sanctuary will never be the same without him.
But not only having to deal with this cruel and senseless loss , the urgent concern for the other pigs saftey had to be immediately dealt with. And as much as the property was fenced, it’s a large area and there needed to be a smaller more secure area. So with the help of great friends/volunteers , a whole new fenced area was put up the next day to secure the remaining pigs from any such danger. I am so grateful to all those who helped trying to rescue Acorn that horrible day and help putting up all the new fencing the following day.. I could’nt have done it without them.
Acorn was only 9 years old but his loving spirit lives on. I try to constantly remind myself that at least he had 5 wonderful years here, living his best pig life with home cooked meals every single day and acres of forrest to forage. It doesnt take the heart ache away but it puts it into perspective comsidering most pigs don’t get that love and care, and sadly live a pitiful existence just to be slaughtered at 6 months of age.

Thanks to the wonderful Nick Levine for helping with the (oh so fun) changing of the straw in the pig's barns.. They love their new straw!
This gets done every 2 months so if you'd like to volunteer in the future ,please let me know. (I could really use the help now that I'm experiencing lower back and hip issues.)
Thanks!
