Hi All
Forgive me for not posting much recently, still no luck
with my connection at home (technically, as I understand
it, it is a problem between the modem and the driver).
So I have to snatch bits of time at work here and
there. Just trying to keep up with the Pig Olympics
news, other GPDD news, and getting advice from
friends on things like Buzzerre's current eye problem,
are about all I've been able to manage (and it is very
difficult for me not to be in the middle of it all!).
First, tho, as I've noticed some frantic posts about
whether PigAir would be picking up this pig or that
pig at their local airport, I must also mention, that the
special PigAirTransport division has made special
arrangements to pick up those pigs in outlying areas,
or with special needs (or who simply make request)
to be picked up via hot air balloons! There is now
a fleet of them at the ready, properly decorated in
pig style - carrot and parsley colors, etc. More
on that later.
But now I just need to ask everyone's prayers for
our dear Buzzerre, our own PigInCharge. Tomorrow
she is scheduled for eye surgery. She apparently
injured it somehow, and it must be removed. We
have waited a week, hoping somehow it would
improve, but it has not. She has 3 darling babies
she has been nursing, and they are big enough
now they will be fine if she decides to wean them.
I am told the surgery, recovery, etc, will only take
an hour and a half, and he is making special plans
for the sedation so as not to affect her milk. He
feels it will be a simple surgery, and that she should
make a complete recovery. Of course, I would prefer
it had not become necessary, but I am glad to have
a caring vet to rely on.
Still, as we all know, any procedure is a risk, as is
the condition itself, so I am asking you remember
Buzzerre tomorrow during her surgery. It may be
the next day, but I will report back as soon as I am
able to let you know now it goes.
As always, our thoughts and prayers are with all of
you with sick piggies, or with recent losses. I always
try to contact everyone personally, but that has been
a real challenge lately.

practicing and on construction crew - Buster, are
you really still working???)
