Hi Friends:
This summer has been very busy. As some of you know, I work at one of the  
Shriners Hospitals which was on a "hit list" to be closed. I am very happy 
to  say that during their meeting the first week of July, the Imperial Shrine 
 Council voted all six Shriners Hospitals that were on the list to remain 
open.  What wonderful news for patients and their families! These facilities 
are much  needed and surrounding communities near these hospitals really 
rallied to save  them. For that, I am very grateful. Internal adjustments have 
been and will  still be made, but for right now things are okay. 
Other happy news includes the addition of another piggy to my furbaby  
family. His name is Striper. He is a year and a half, smooth haired, and tan and 
 white. His owner was seven years old and simply lost interest in him. I 
have had  him for about two months now. He is a very sweet, active, popcorner 
-- and he  has a BIG appetite! He is very healthy, so there is no doubt that 
he will be  with me for quite a while.
I also wanted to report that I was in PetSmart yesterday. I usually order  
my hay from Al at Sweetmeadow Farms - which is a wonderful, family run 
business.  Al's hay, prices, and the customer service I receive is the best. With 
that  said, on occasion I run low or out of hay and have to buy it at the 
store which  is what has happened this weekend. I went to PetSmart and (the 
ones in my area)  now carry Oxbow. For those of you out there that use Oxbow 
and have a PetSmart  in your area -- you may want to give it a check. Oxbow 
at PetSmart is on  sale till the end of August with a PetPerks card. I am 
not sure if that is for  all areas, but it worth a check. It beats the heck 
out of shipping and  handling! Well, -- that is all for now. I hope everyone 
enjoys the remainder of  the summer.
Love, Donna and the SC piggies
Aunt Polly, Thatcher, Big Jim, Zion, Houdini, and  Striper
