The Piggies Are Coming!!!

I’ve heard it said at least a hundred times, “If we wait until we feel really ready, we might miss our chance.” Well, there was a major need for housing for over 200 rescue pigs, and we are close enough to being ready so that we decided to offer some of them shelter at the Blue Barn Farm & Sanctuary. The news came shortly after last Sunday’s fence party.

We had another wonderful day for continuing construction! Thanks to all the beautiful souls who stepped in and offered up their afternoon for a noble cause. There is nothing quite like sweat equity to make you feel vested in an interest! All of this hard work is paying off, and just in time, too. We received the official word a few days ago from our fearless leader, Melissa. Piggies are in the very near future! Whoop-whoop!!! With any luck, our next blog post will be about our newest residents.

As soon as we have more details, we will be sharing them with you. We are thrilled, and elated beyond words about this rather quick development in the Blue Barn Farm & Sanctuary journey. If you read Melissa’s previous blog post, you can see how things don’t always go as planned. This time, however, the change of plans is a good thing.

We have a BOD meeting next week, and I’m sure there will be more to write about after that. For now, know that your love, donations, and compassion for our project are definitely being felt, not just by the people involved, but by the animals soon to be living the life they deserve. A life of safety, sunshine, fresh air, and friends to pass the time with. YOUR generosity is making all of that possible!

Please consider making another donation to support the cost of feeding the not-so-little piggies who are on their way to calling the Blue Barn home. For more information on how to donate to our “Feed the Piggies” fund, send Melissa a message.

Dreams really do come true!

Thanks for stopping by, and helping to spread kindness, compassion, and empathy. We couldn’t do it without you!

With much love and gratitude,

Amy
