Piglet Mindset® School Visits

Our program is entertaining and fun, but the primary goal of our Piglet Mindset School Visits is to emphasize and reinforce Piglet's message and lessons of positivity, resilience, compassion, and kindness.

Classroom and school visits begin with a short Powerpoint presentation. We follow with a live tap signal demo by Piglet and his deafblind brother Georgie. We do a short Q & A if there's time.

The format is flexible, adaptable, and can be customized to different size groups and number of presentations requested. We realistically can do 3 one hour presentations in one day.

Zoom, Facetime, or Google Meet Sessions are a virtual alternative to an in-person school or classroom visit. Virtual Visits with Piglet and his pack are adaptable to a wide range of applications throughout the school year. Virtual sessions are a great addition to an end of the school year Pink Party.

For more detailed info, please review the Piglet Mindset Detailed Info PDF for Educators HERE!

ANIMAL ADVOCACY & PIGLET'S RESCUE FUND

Piglet was rescued from a hoarding situation in Georgia when he was a newborn puppy. While Piglet was fortunate to have found a devoted loving family, there are many dogs like him still looking for their forever homes. Through our social media pages, Piglet has become an ambassador for disabled rescued animals.

Our advocacy efforts and Piglet's Rescue Fund were set up to:

  • Educate about and advocate for rescued animals through our social media pages, Piglet Mindset® educational program, as well as webinars on a number of veterinary topics
     
  • Encourage spay and neuter of dogs and cats in light of the pet overpopulation problem
     
  • Motivate individuals to adopt rescued pets, especially those who are disabled
     
  • Provide funding to rescue organizations that focus on disabled dogs and other animals
     
  • Support for The Disabled Pets Project, a comprehensive resource for veterinarians, pet parents, and rescuers who care for disabled pets. The website is disabledpets.org.
     
  • The fund is supported by direct donations as well as a portion of all Piglet merchandise sales.

Ruby is a double merle Poodle mix dog who is deaf Ruby is a double merle Poodle mix dog who is deaf and mostly blind. She had a retinal bleed for the second time last week which caused her to lose the minimal vision she's had. 

With treatment she has improved slowly over the week. She's been struggling to get around confidently. But today she was noticeably happier, bouncing around like herself AND "looking" up at us!

The last time this happened it took a month for her eye bleed to resolve and for her minimal vision to come back. 

So we are celebrating with Ruby bc she can see a little bit again!!🩷❤️🎉🐶🎈🎂🩷
Piggy seems to be confusing night with day! No t Piggy seems to be confusing night with day! 

No this is not his usual. He did have a very inactive day so he is wired now! 

This is when I usually get my own work done. Ha!
Our little Ruby is dealing with another retinal bl Our little Ruby is dealing with another retinal bleed. Thankfully the bleeding seems to be stopping but she is still blind. The last time this happened it took a month for her to regain her minimal vision. 

This time she is also having nystagmus. Piglet has bouts of nystagmus which is related to his congenital eye defects. Ruby's eyes are similar to Piglet's so this is probably a benign issue. 

Here she is with Baby Georgie. They are a comical sweet pair.🩷
Nothing he does ever gets old. Simply watching h Nothing he does ever gets old. 

Simply watching him confidently making his way over to the ramp and up to the back door. He worked so hard to achieve these skills that he now makes look like "nothing". 

I love this dog so so much.

Happy Birthday to the guy who insisted we adopt th Happy Birthday to the guy who insisted we adopt the tiny deaf blind pink puppy Piglet 9 1/2 years ago. He deserves a hero award for that decision!

Seriously, Piglet fell in love with his Favorite Dad the minute they met. The bond they have is filled with love, admiration, and devotion. It is a pleasure to witness. 

Today we celebrated Warren's bday with our family. Here's Piggy giving his dad the ultimate Piglet birthday kiss! 

Happy Birthday Favorite Dad.🩷🎂🎉😘🎊🎁🎈🎂🩷

As the days go on it's becoming even more apparent As the days go on it's becoming even more apparent that these three, Annie, Lucy, and Ruby, are really struggling with the losses of Dean and Evie. 

I don't know which of the two dogs lost has had the most impact but I suspect it's a combination of losing two beloved family members together  that these three girls were heavily bonded to. 

Annie is spending more time seeking out the other dogs and humans bc she feels alone without her Deanie. She has also started walking a little bit more stiffly and hesitated to jump up onto her bed yesterday for the first time ever. She's started on an antiinflammatory. 

Lucy is a nervous wreck. Her anxiety is sky rocketing. She is taking Prozac now which I'm hoping will kick in soon. She came with us on our quick road trip yesterday and was not her usual happy self. It was hard to look at the back seat and see only one girl dog where there should have been two snuggled together. 

And poor Rubles is also feeling more and more anxious now. It didn't occur to me how much she misses Evie until the last couple of weeks as she is having a regression in her screaming episodes when out of the house. She is also having another retinal bleed right now which is causing diminished sight in her already low vision right eye. So now she's resting and getting eye drops. 

All this sounds pretty bad but we are supporting the dogs and making sure to comfort them indoors with low key activities, treats, and indoor play. 

When we are out, Annie loves to take a slow walk. Lucy likes to ride in the stroller, and we just found out that Ruby is very comfortable in a Sherpa bag. So we may try a stroller to see if she'd be comfortable there when necessary. 

Ok so that's the update from these three girls. 
This probably sounds worse than it is. They are surviving, despite their sadness. 

BTW- The boys are FINE! They probably miss their Dean and Evie but they are extremely resilient. 

Stay tuned for a Zoey update coming soon. She was left home when we went on the road trip and let's just say that she made sure to guilt us badly!
Happy National Dog Day🩷🐶🩷 Yes our couch looks pre Happy National Dog Day🩷🐶🩷

Yes our couch looks pretty empty with 6 dogs. How is that possible. We miss the ones that are gone and we love these precious pups that we have now. 

Hoping everyone has had a wonderful day celebrating dogs!
