June really keeps us in check! 😅

We were cleaning their food pans, refilling water bowls, and filling the pool and mud wallow. But clearly this process was taking too long, and June decided she was done waiting! 🙅‍♀️ She found a wet spot where a bowl had been dumped out and decided to roll in that.

“No rush now!”, she conveyed. “I found my own solution!” 💁‍♀️

Welp. 😬 We’ve gotta give her credit for creativity and problem solving! 👏🥇

When you’re craving wings, where do you go? Down to sluttyveganbham! They’ve got cauliflower wings that hit the spot with four sauces to choose from. We tried the garlic Parmesan and the Thai chili, and they were oh so good. 🤤

✨Try It Tuesday✨
We share vegan / plant-based / cruelty-free products and food items weekly to show how simple it can be to shop compassionately! 🌱

Craving some nuggets on the fly? Pop a few of these in the microwave, dip in BBQ sauce, and then enjoy! They’re easily toted in Tupperware if you need a snack throughout the day, and they’re equally delicious when prepared alongside veggies, salad, and bread for a complete meal.

Before we refresh the waterer on hot days ☀️, we dump a little water out in the chickens’ run. (The chickens 🐓 provide the perfect spot for us to make a puddle because they dig holes for dirt baths! 🛁) Dipping their claws in the pool cools them down 🪭, plus they think it’s fun to dig about for bugs! 🪲

A pig in a puddle. This is the best life! 💕🐽

DYK? Pigs can’t sweat! 🐷 So to cool off, they drink water, wallow in the mud, and hang out in the shade. 🌴

Adult piggos are most comfortable when it’s 50-75 degrees outside. 🪭🌥️ In warmer temperatures, it’s important to keep an eye on them for signs of heat stress. 🥵

Some pigs like to lounge in kiddie pools 🏊‍♀️, play in sprinklers, be sprayed with the water hose, or sit under a fan - so there are options to help them stay cool. 😎

Like our dog and cat companions, farmed animals also need consideration. Finding ways to support their needs helps them not just to live, but to thrive! 🖤
