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.

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.

It's not that being a foster failure is a bad thin It's not that being a foster failure is a bad thing. But there are ways to foster and then adopt that are part of the initial plan! We chose the foster to adopt option for two of our dogs- Georgie 3 years ago and then recently, Ruby. 

We have so many dogs with strong personalities that it's important to be able to evaluate the dynamics a new dog brings and make sure all the dogs are comfortable with the necessary adjustments. 

It takes longer than a few weeks for everyone to settle in but we were able to commit to these two within a few weeks.

Good late night from the traveling pink dog and hi Good late night from the traveling pink dog and his adorable freckled nose.
This is my tiny dog Zoey. She's a chi yorkie mix r This is my tiny dog Zoey. She's a chi yorkie mix rescued in AR from a Craig's list ad. Within hours of her arriving in CT she broke with Parvovirus. It was a long expensive two weeks for her but she survived. 

She was our number 6 dog and we were so excited to have a tiny lap dog. She was an adorable puppy and has been an awesome little friend for almost 11 years. 

She comes everywhere with me along with a few of our other dogs. Zoey is very dog reactive and has severe separation issues. She has been a member of our school visit team since the beginning in 2017. 

Her anxiety, barking, and need to be held when I'm giving my talks has escalated over the last year to the point that even I have to admit that it's become intolerable. 

I'm so sad but today was the first time we did not have her in the school for our three Piglet Mindset presentations. It wasn't the same without her there but things moved along much more smoothly in her absence.

She came into the school before we left to say hi. It broke me but it's important to keep my school visit programs professional and engaging for the students. 

This was a tough decision to make but I will make it up to her with some new activities we can enjoy together. 

The first is this Sunday Nov 23. We're having Zoey's 11th Zoom bday party with a webinar called Pre-Senior Dog Care. Yes, there will be cupcakes. 

Here is the link for Zoey's zoom party.

The Special K9 Games is an agility event for disab The Special K9 Games is an agility event for disabled dogs. 

This weekend, Georgie had an amazing time practicing his agility skills so he could compete this afternoon. 

This is a for-fun agility event which gives dogs like Georgie, who is deaf and blind, an opportunity to participate in a fun sport with accommodations for their disabilities. 

Georgie is fast asleep feeling really proud of his accomplishments at The Games.🩷

This is why we travel across the country to bring This is why we travel across the country to bring our tiny deaf blind dogs to an agility event for disabled dogs!

This is Piglet's 5th special k9 games and Georgie's 3rd. They couldn't wait to get onto the A frame and into the tunnels. Their enthusiasm is infectious. This event is for them. They don't have this opportunity anywhere else bc local agility classes have said "NO bc they are a liability!"

This is our new dog Ruby's first special games. We didn't know how she would react bc we've only had her for 4 weeks. But, take a look at this video to see her debut at the games! 

Our meet and greet was awesome. Thanks to everyone who attended! 

Tomorrow is the agility competition! Can't wait to see how the boys and Ruby do.

This tiny deaf blind pink dog has no trouble havin This tiny deaf blind pink dog has no trouble having fun on a college campus.

Dogs who are deaf and blind need to be kept safe from running into unexpected obstacles in new areas. A large open area like this was perfect for Piglet to run freely. 

What's so remarkable about this video is that Piglet feels confident and trusts us to keep him safe so he can enjoy running in a big grassy field. 

He's a very happy sweet boy.
