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.

PIGLET AND GEORGIE'S KINDNESS CLUB

Piglet and Georgie's Kindness Club has been created to encourage children to bring Kindness Campaigns to their communities. Examples of Kindness activities include running a food drive and delivering the food to local food pantries, or raising awareness for animal rescues by collecting dog and cat food and other supplies for their local animal shelters and rescue organizations. Some children might be interested in organizing book drives where they raise funds and support so they can purchase and donate books to head start programs, community day cares, school libraries, and individual children.

There are so many ways to bring kindness into the community.

We hope Piglet and Georgie's Kindness Club will motivate everyone to remember to be kind!

There's always the question of quality of life for There's always the question of quality of life for my tiny deafblind dog Piglet. Yesterday someone commented that I was extorting him by bringing him to meet and greets and unfamiliar places. They felt he should be kept at home in his familiar comfortable safe environment. 

Of course this a nonsense when we are referring to Piglet, the deaf blind pink puppy. He thrives in new activities, visiting new environments, and meeting new people. It would be cruel to keep him confined to our house where he has the living room and yard mapped to basic boredom. 

This is my dog Piglet. Adventurous, up for whatever he can be involved in, with a big smile. Georgie is similar. 

Their safety is a priority and we are very careful with them in all ways, including watching for signs of stress which rarely happen. But when they are stressed or just need a break, we provide a comfortable way for them to withdraw, nap, and regroup. Piglet's stroller is convenient for me but it is green room for all activities. 

There are deafblind dogs, which I always acknowledge, that are not adaptable and flexible like these two. Dog's ability to adapt and adjust to new places and people and activities can be breed related, age related, and experience related. Dogs are individuals. We treat them as individuals and focus on their individual needs. 

So the answer here is that no, we are not extorting or abusing or doing anything negative with our Deafblind dogs or any of the others. The dogs that don't want to be part of the action stay home while we travel bc that's where they are happiest. The ones that race to the door when they know it's time to visit a school or attend a meet and greet- they come on their own free will! 

We are looking forward to seeing lots of Piglet friends at our upcoming in person and virtual events!

Every day I "get to" spend time with this tiny dea Every day I "get to" spend time with this tiny deaf blind pink dog is an extra special day. He's 8 1/2years old and I don't think I've been away from him for even one night other than during the first week he was here which was planned before we knew he was joining our family. 

It's not that I'd be touring Europe if we didn't have Piglet but our lives revolve around his needs. We never leave him for long. We love him so much!

Good night sweet Piglet🩷
Dean is having some sort of allergic reaction righ Dean is having some sort of allergic reaction right now. He made sure to let me know which I'm so happy he thought to do. He got Benadryl. 

Hoping this resolves quickly and that I can figure out what triggered it. This never happens to Dean. I don't know what it's from. 

Coincidentally, a little while before Dean started, Piglet was also having an allergic reaction to something. He got Benadryl. 

BTW- Dean normally snores very loudly.

Since 14 1/2 year old Dean is declining rapidly, I Since 14 1/2 year old Dean is declining rapidly, I wanted to be sure we got some really nice geriatric photos of him on the beach while the weather is nice and everyone is feeling relatively good. 

The plan was to take pictures of Dean with me, but as I was there with him alone on the beach, given that he does not like getting his picture taken, I realize that the best way to manage our photo shoot was to include all of the dogs. 

This is no easy task because the older dogs don't hear well anymore and we have two younger deaf blind dogs. 
Plus, Lucy is prey driven, and if a chipmunk comes by while we're not holding her leash, we could possibly lose her.

My photographer friend Joan encouraged me to take advantage of the amazing lighting and beautiful beach, and bring all the dogs out for a group photo.

Not to be too emotional because that's been my theme lately, but this was such an amazing afternoon filled with sweet dogs all there together posing, eating treats, and being adorable. 

I highly recommend that you do the same with your older dogs. In fact, it doesn't matter how old they are, this should be done regularly as I have over the last 14 years with this group. It was so refreshing to be there in the moment, enjoying the couple of hours we spent all together.

It's deaf dog awareness week. Here's a selection It's deaf dog awareness week. 

Here's a selection of favorite pictures of baby and young man Piglet, the deaf blind pink puppy when his nose was purely pink. 

Piglet looks quite innocent in all of these pictures, but he was a handful. He's a quirky, funny, smart adorable little dog. 

From the very beginning, despite his severe anxiety and separation issues as a baby, his determination to know where he is, know who he's with, and attention to every last detail, no matter what he's doing, make him a stand out. 

Among the many things he's done on his social media platforms, in his Piglet mindset education program, and as an ambassador for disabled pets, his positivity towards his challenges specifically being deaf and blind is inspirational to so many for so many reasons. Yes this is a run-on sentence and I don't care. 

I hope you enjoy the selection of baby Piglet pictures and remember that deaf, blind, and deafblind dogs have such potential to live exceptional outstanding high-quality lives. We hope you'll consider a deaf and/or blind dog when you're ready to adopt a new friend.🩷🐾🩷
