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
