No clever caption today. Just some pigs. We think they’ll make you smile. 🐷💖✨

“This is my good side. I have several.” 🐷✨

They rotate angles like a professional, then act shocked when we try to take ten more photos. 1 minute it is a model pose, the next it is a dramatic flop, then a snack check, then back to serving face like nothing happened. The camera just has to keep up.

Today will be my peaceful day.

We have been thinking about the Buddhist monks on the Walk for Peace, walking from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. They have been reminding people at each stop to begin the day with one simple intention, “Today will be my peaceful day.”🤍🌿

It’s Friday, which means today is the cutoff for Be My Valenswine. 💌🐽

If you’ve been meaning to grab one, do it now. You donate, and we’ll send a personalized Valentine card featuring one of our residents with a message written just for you. No two cards are the same.

Valenswine cards are LIVE! 🐽

This is our 4th year doing them, and here’s why they’re so fun. Every card is personalized, every card features a different resident, and every message is custom.

Deadline to join in is Friday, February 6th.

When love is scarce, people and animals get reduced to problems to manage instead of lives to care for.

If you do one thing today, make it an intentional act of love. That is how we push back on a world that keeps trying to make us colder.

Wishlist Wednesday, and this week we are all about skin relief.

Blu, and several of our other residents, are dealing with cracked, damaged skin. Aquaphor Zinc Oxide cream is used to protect and help heal their skin, and this is an ongoing, year round need here. Check it out below 👇

BB’s story is a reminder that behavior is communication. When he first came to us, he was scared and initially aggressive. He needed the right environment, clear routines, & people who would meet him with patience and boundaries. Once he had that, he settled in fast & showed us who he really is. 💛🐷

Good morning 🌤️ You are not behind, you are arriving in your own time 💛🌿

Our smaller potbelly herd is living their best life right now, stretched out and soaking up the sun after all that snow, and most of it has finally melted. This is what we’re here for, safe days, soft moments, and pigs who get to just relax and feel good.

Friends, this is your sign to snag a Be My Valenswine card while you still can. 💌🐽

The cutoff is this Friday, February 6th. You donate, and we’ll send a one of a kind Valentine card featuring one of our residents with a totally unique message. No two are the same! ❤️

Josh is heading in to say hi to Rose and Mia. Rose had an abscess that we’re treating, and she’s staying right by her buddy Mia because we never separate bonded pigs. The snow is coming down hard now, but everyone is safe, warm, and cozy. Thank y’all so much. 💙❄️

Snow at Cotton Branch, which is a pretty wonderful change of pace for us. We get this maybe once a year, if that. Everyone is safe and cozy, and the pigs have officially opted out and chosen cuddles instead. Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy it, y’all. ❄️🐷💛
