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.

It's Ruby Tuesday! Our little mostly poodle Ruby It's Ruby Tuesday! 

Our little mostly poodle Ruby just graduated from her first dog school class. No, she was not the valedictorian but she was in the top 5 in her class. 

Seriously, Ruby has been with us for 3 months. She came with some serious behavioral issues that are still not resolved. She is friendly, happy, and getting into our routine which absolutely overshadows the problems. 

One of the things we are still working on is that Rubles is so friendly, she can't control her over excitement. That wouldn't be a serious issue for most dogs but Ruby actually screams at the top of her lungs when she sees people with and without dogs. Sometimes she does this just out of pure excitement when no one is around. 

Most of the time I can tap her and get her to move along. But her impulses are strong and the behavior is a really bad ingrained habit. 

Congrats to our Rubilita🩷

Other than that,she is exactly what you see in her pics and videos. She is cute, sweet, funny, and very happy. Shes very puppyish but also very smart. 

Any suggestions on the screaming?

Evie is almost 14 and she was diagnosed with lymphoma a few weeks ago. She's had 4 chemo treatments and overall is doing well. She is having severe side effects from the prednisone. The sore is decreasing so hopefully this will improve soon. 

Watch the video to learn how you can detect possible lymphoma in your dog before they show signs of illness.
Happy 1st Bday Ruby! Three months ago I had a bri Happy 1st Bday Ruby!

Three months ago I had a bright idea to go "see" a little deaf and vision impaired poodle who was at the same rescue as our Baby Betty who we had to rehome. I have no idea why I needed to add to the chaos after the traumatic experience of rehoming Betty. But I had been following the little poodle and knew she needed a safe place to land. 

She was 9 months then and now she is 1 year. So now we get to celebrate Ruby's first bday and her 3 month gotcha day!

It's been a long and challenging beginning with Ruby. She came with some unfortunate baggage that we are still working through. But she is a sweet, adorable, and very happy bouncy poodle. She loves everyone and is delighted that Lucy Lemonade has finally agreed to play with her. 

Evie is her mentor which is such a beautiful thing to watch. I don't know if it's true but they seem to know they are similar breeds. Evie is a poodle mixed with schnauzer and Ruby is mostly poodle with Bichon and Shitzu mixed in. 

On Jan 25 we'll be having Piglet's 9th Zoom bday party. He's agreed to share the stage with Ruby so we can include her bday in the party. We hope to see lots of Piglet and Ruby friends there. 

Link for the party is in our bio!

Yesterday was a rough day. My little Evie had a ch Yesterday was a rough day. My little Evie had a chemotherapy treatment which required her to be sedated to receive the IV infusion safely. 

While Trazadone is a very safe med it knocked her out for the whole day. I knew she'd wake up eventually but for some reason I found the whole thing to be extremely upsetting. By midnight she was pretty much up and getting back to her norm. 

This morning she was hungry, active, and ready for a fun day. I was exhausted from worrying all day yesterday. 

We took a really nice break at the beach today. The Zoey/Evie walk was especially important for me. We took a long slow walk, the dogs sniffed around, and I was able to regroup my emotions. 

Having a dog with a terminal illness with an uncertain timeline is really stressful. Balancing emotions is not easy. We don't have a bucket list but I'm clear that I will devote a substantial effort every day to be sure I spend good time with Evie and everyone else. 

Caring for 8 dogs used to flow much more smoothly. They did everything together. Now the old dogs need alot of extra care and the young dogs need to run and exercise to match their high energy levels. 

Anyway, the point here is that treating a chronic illness like cancer, kidney or heart failure, or progressive arthritis has its ups and downs. Thankfully most of these  dogs do have plenty of good days for us to enjoy as time goes by. 

Walking with my dogs on the beach is my favorite go-to dog activity. 
What's yours?
Who needs this today? It's Ruby Tuesday! Ruby is Who needs this today?

It's Ruby Tuesday!

Ruby is a deaf and vision impaired poodle mix. When she arrived 3 months ago none of our dogs could handle her playfulness. But over the last 3 months, the youngest girl, Lucy Lemonade, slowly brought Ruby into the group. 

Now they are true BFFs. They are well matched in size, energy level, and sweetness. 

Ruby desperately needed a fun friend and truthfully, Lucy needed a younger active dog to play with too. 

What's so remarkable about this developing friendship is how it progressed gradually, driven by Lucy's sweet but measured approach to giving more and more to Ruby. 

Lucy is a gem, a feral street dog rescued in CA 4 years ago. She is kind to all the dogs in our family. Piglet adores her and so does Georgie. Oh- Annie and Dean, and Evie and Zoey do too! 

Stay tuned for more adorable, positive, fun from these cuties.🩷
Piglet is a deafblind dog, and every day he shows Piglet is a deafblind dog, and every day he shows what resilience really looks like while facing challenges with a positive attitude. 

When something is hard, he keeps trying. When he falls, he tries again. And when he succeeds, he reminds us that growth is possible for everyone.

This is why Piglet visits schools.

Through in-person and virtual school visits, Piglet helps students of all ages learn about resilience, kindness, compassion, and inclusion in a way they never forget.

Educators- students instantly connect with Piglet and his deafblind baby brother Georgie. Their story stays with kids long after the visit, encouraging confidence, empathy, and a belief in themselves. These dogs are truly magical. 

Spring semester school visits are now booking.
