May everyone start to have A GREAT AND FUN SUMMER and a lot of outside
time to exercise with your PET AND PLEASE REMEMBER

For Potbelly Pig owner’s: SPRING is one of the most DANGEROUS TIMES for your pet.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with all those TOXIC PLANTS THAT ARE COMING INTO BLOOM, PLUS
ALL THE YARD AND GARDEN PRODUCTS THAT NOT ONLY YOU USE, BUT YOUR NEIGHBOR ALSO.

                                           LOOKING FOR PARTS FOR OUT BACKHOE:

WE ARE LOOKING FOR PARTS FOR OUR BACKHOE OLDER(1972) JOHN DEERE MODEL 500 C (LATE) THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT, AND WE HAVE THE REBUILD PARTS, BUT THE BLOCK HAS BEEN DAMAGED AND SO FAR WE HAVE NOT AFTER 5 MONTHS BEEN ABLE TO FIND ONE OR A BACKHOE CHEAP ENOUGH TO PURCHASE, FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT ROCKY @ 970-216-3895

                                        (Thumper says if anyone has one to donate call us) OLD IS GOOD

ALSO MORE PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER.

With the economy the way that it is in our location, we would like people to remember, “A small donation can make the difference, between our survival as a home for the Unique Potbelly pig and it’s survival. Without help and donations from the public, it is going to be questionable how long we can continue to upgrade and accept animals.



The pictures attached below are one of the many projects that we will be DIFFICULT dealing with as the summer goes on. This is underground water from irrigation fields adjoining our property, and without our backhoe it is going to be very difficult to maintain and keep dry area’ for the Potbelly pigs to have shade and play area out of the sun.

This is where the potbelly pigs lay in the summer for shade, also can see where trees have drowned....

This is or was summer feeding area, underground water has no where to drain without ditches

       “ REMEMBER THE PETFINDER. COM SHELTER CONTEST THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO DONATE”

ALSO REMEMBER::::

WATER, SHADE, WATER, SHADE, WATER, SHADE, WATER, SHADE & BELLYRUBS!!!!!!!!!

See you next month...
