NWGA K9 Rescue

Some may remember last summer i took in a young pig that was being given away at Tractor Supply in Calhoun Ga. I tried to find her a forever home but how many folks are actually looking for a pet pig? So of course Bacon stayed with me and her two other piggy companions Deloris and Piglet!
Bacon was a true ham( pardon the expression ) she was always asking for attentiontion and belly rubs, she took food from the dogs, she would sleep with the dogs, she would get out of any type of fencing i would put her in!
She was one of a kind! But I loved her aggravating ways!
Sunday afternoon Bacon wasn’t acting right, as the time passed she couldn’t walk, couldn’t see and then started having seizures.
Unsure if she was kicked by the horse, if a big limb fell from a tree and hit her. Regardless she had a head injury and there was not a single mark on her.
The most humane thing to do was to assist her over rainbow bridge.

RIP Bacon! Keep all those critters in line up in heaven until we meet again!

We raised this little girl, she was just a baby when she was found.
Next month she will be 1 year old.
She lives outside and does what normal squirrels do, with the exception of coming back to the house to let me know she is still here and ask for an occasional treat.
I noticed she was gaining weight and suspected she had gotten pregnant. (She isn’t super friendly and won’t be handled)
Well, she quit coming up for about 5 days in a row, though I would call for her.
Then she showed back up, skinnier then before. I gave extra food and noticed she wasn’t staying but for only a few minutes.
Skip to a week or two later.
She came up acting strange, she would run up to me make a noise and run off, turn around and come back to me, so common sense told me to follow her.
As I preceded to follow she would come back to me run up my leg , nibble on me and take off again.
Until…. We got to “her” tree. She ran up my leg, bit me and scurried up the tree. As she entered her nest, I could hear her babies whistling to her.
It’s not the tik tok video of the lady being led by her finger by her squirrel to visit the babies, but it’s the next best thing!

I can’t wait for her babies to start venturing out of the nest!

FYI: It takes about 42 days for squirrels to have babies!

Cutest thing I have seen in a few days!
The chicken ran away and the obnoxious blue jay stood its ground!

Sitting at the gate, waiting on the back hoe to arrive to bury the last of Shelley Lipsey Stailey horses.
Sadie passed away yesterday, in her pasture. 32 years young .
She will be deeply missed by everyone that loves her!
Fly High Sadie Mae!

Pigs will be pigs. Bacon found a mud hole.

Even the squirrels are desperate to find a cool spot to lay !

Anyone know what kind of bird this may be?
One of the dogs in the kennel found it in the play yard, but I can’t find a nest.
