Potato just potatoing 🥔 🐖 🤣

He literally couldn’t have a more fitting name. He’s the biggest potato pig I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. He’s favorite hobby is napping or lounging. If he had a couch, he’d definitely be on it. 🩷

🌞 Yesterday was hot and exhausting, just like the day before. 🍉 But it was filled with donated watermelons, Ivy Rain having sweet visitors and a beautiful sunset. I thought we were going to get rain in the evening but Mother Nature only teased us. Watermelon video to come!! 🩷

Someone learned the joy of getting on the golf cart today. Lots of goat shenanigans to come! 😅

Late last night, Ivy Rain had a surprise visitor! 🩷

Serena decided to treat herself for her birthday and stop by the sanctuary to finally meet Ivy for the very first time.

Serena was out of the country when we rescued Ivy, and then jumped straight into her new job as soon as she got home. Between recovering from travel and settling into her new routine, she just hadn’t had a chance to come visit yet.

Not only did she come meet our new baby girl, but she also brought watermelon rinds for the piggies, which they always appreciate!

It was such a treat for Ivy to get some extra attention. It’s something she desperately craves. I spend as much time with her as I possibly can, but the reality is that Ivy wants company 24/7. Then again, what kid doesn’t?

She’s lonely, and she cries constantly when she’s by herself. It absolutely breaks my heart. I’ve been trying for weeks to get some of our volunteers to simply come hang out with her, and honestly, I’m shocked there isn’t a waiting list to spend time with a precious, playful baby goat. 🤷‍♀️

The good news is that tomorrow morning Ivy has not one, but TWO wonderful volunteers coming to just hang out with her! I’ve been telling her about it all day today, and I’m pretty sure she’s excited. 💕

Thank you, Serena, for making a birthday stop at the sanctuary and giving our sweet girl some extra love.

🍉 WATERMELON SPONSORS NEEDED! 🍉

WE’RE UNDER A HEAT ADVISORY! 🥵 ☀️

It’s already been so hot, but today marks our first official heat advisory of the year, and summer hasn’t officially begun!

‼️Todays heat index is 106° to 110° 😳⚠️

Every year the heat feels a little harder to handle. Maybe that’s just me getting older. But many of our animals are seniors too, and that makes these extreme temperatures even more concerning.

Summer is honestly the most exhausting season at the sanctuary. There are more waters to fill and refill, more shade to maintain, more cooling measures to manage, and unfortunately it’s also the time of year when volunteer help is at its lowest. So for me that means more work and less help. 😩

One of my favorite ways to help everyone stay cool and hydrated is with WATERMELON! 🍉

The pigs, goats, birds and Jordy the Torty absolutely love them. The dogs and donks will eat some too!

Walmart currently has watermelons on sale for $3.88 to $6.87, and they can be delivered directly to the sanctuary today. 🛻

To give every pig, goat, flock, and Jordy a melon treat, we’d need about 50 melons. 100 would give us enough to get through Sunday as well. However, Walmart limits delivery orders to 12 of each size melon, so only 36 can be ordered at a time. 🫤 A full order of 12 small, 12 medium, and 12 large melons would be about $200 with tax & delivery, and sadly that’s still barely enough for everyone to get a serving.

But Summer is away house-sitting all week, so I’m without a vehicle, so pickup isn’t an option right now.

If you’d like to send a little watermelon love to the animals, we’d be incredibly grateful. Every melon will help keep our residents cool, hydrated, and happy during this first official scorching day. 🍉

We’re hoping our wonderful local farm friends will once again bless us with surplus melons later in the summer like they have in years past, that load of melons has saved us year after year, but for now, we’re looking to our amazing community for help.

Thank you for helping keep everyone cool as a melon. 🍉❤️

Please join us in wishing Serena a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎂🎉

Serena has been part of the Flying Pig and Franklin family for seven years now, first as my son Gavin’s girlfriend, and over time becoming so much more… a bonus daughter, a sister to Summer, a board member, volunteer extraordinaire, and one of the kindest, most compassionate, and genuinely beautiful (inside and out) humans I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. 💕

She first became involved with FPAS after meeting Gavin while volunteering at our local VegFest in 2019. Not long afterward, she began spending time at the sanctuary and quickly became an irreplaceable part of our team.

Over the years, Serena has done just about everything imaginable around here, literally. From helping with animal care and sanctuary projects to wrangling escapees and leading volunteer groups, she’s always been willing to jump in wherever she’s needed most.

The past couple of years have been especially busy as she completed an intensive Dental Hygiene program. But even with the long hours, endless studying, and a part-time job, she still found ways to show up when it mattered. Whether that meant feeding the pigs when my arms were out of commission, running errands for us, helping with events, or inviting everyone she knows to yoga, she made time to help whenever she could. And always with a smile on her face.

This year alone, she graduated from Dental Hygiene school, spent nearly a month traveling around Europe with Gavin, and started her first job as a dental hygienist! We are so proud of her. 🎓✨

Serena is one of those rare people who makes everyone feel safe, welcome, and loved. Humans, animals, and insects alike are all treated with the same kindness and respect. 🐛

Since 2020, Serena and Gavin have lived next door and co-parent Papaya the Parrot, along with their rescue dog, Octavia. 🦜🐾

Happy Birthday, Serena! Thank you for all the love, hard work, compassion, and joy you bring into the world every single day. We are so incredibly lucky to have you in our lives.

We love you! 🩷
