So pleased the one little piglet, Nathan, survived, thrived and became a celebrity pig in the finest sense of the word. Heartened for all the work Sunrise Sanctuary does. <br /><br />I'm also very aware of "Blog the Change for Animals" and the great work that's done. Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar and I, are honoured to know CindyLu and her human, Kim, also part of this notable blog hop. Yes, a notable blog hop! :)<br /><br />Thanks for this, Julie.<br /><br />Penny's alleged human,<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-91304089435105436752015-07-20T07:50:03.562-07:002015-07-20T07:50:03.562-07:00Now that is one lucky piglet!

I'd love to visit there. And honestly I'm surprised that animals who are all predators can get along so well - that's really cool. <br /><br />@Chrys, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!<br /><br />@Cherie, I know, I hate to think about that part. <br /><br />@Janie, me too. :)<br /><br />@Kim, I'm so glad to be part of BtC now. :)<br /><br />@Susan, it really was and just so gruesome to imagine. Aww, it must have been fun taking care of those piglets when you were a kid. <br /><br />@Emilyann, I can't wait to meet him, I'm totally in love with him LOL. :)Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-70584246224677238132015-07-17T23:59:03.984-07:002015-07-17T23:59:03.984-07:00Wow, I am so jealous you get to meet cutie Nathan....Wow, I am so jealous you get to meet cutie Nathan... that story made my day Julie :) But I do feel bad for the others that went to a sad destination.

My father raised 5,000+ hogs a year, all sent to market.<br /><br />But, when there were piglets rejected by the sow, we kids raised them. Usually there was some physically wrong and the piglets died early. But until then, they were well-loved.Susan Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834094675218254410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-31223285394391523072015-07-17T18:37:19.599-07:002015-07-17T18:37:19.599-07:00What a wonderfully sweet story!

The house and rehab a lot of wild animals there, too. Like the lion, tiger, and bear, who actually live together in a single compound. It's really something to see them playing around and nuzzling each other.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-4183809961704797382015-07-16T09:29:03.654-07:002015-07-16T09:29:03.654-07:00That IS a great story.

Also being from Cincinnati, I remember seeing news about the crash on TV and being sickened by it. I had heard a piglet was rescued, but didn't know he had ended up with such a nice life, so thanks for sharing the story. Hope you enjoy your return visit to the farm.
