Harriet is Beautiful
Harriet says she likes the way the shadows hit her face and how we captured her good side. I told her she’s beautiful from every angle and she said she knows. 🤷🏻♀️

Harriet Goes for a Visit
From Chubby Goat Acres:
Yesterday was an extremely busy day for us here, and in the stress and rush of saving Reggie, we had no time to share it with you.
We took Bonnie, mama to the Saginaw Scientists, down to Purdue Large Animal Hospital to be spayed. When we were there, we picked up two lovely Cornish chickens, Tom and Crinkle (pics to come), who were rescued by a vet student there.
Then, we headed up to Ahimsa Safe Haven to pick up Molly, mama to the Saginaw Civil Rights Leaders, and Harriet (formerly Amelia). It was so fulfilling to see them, Teddy (formerly Clyde), and Capone. They are incredibly happy in their new digs, with lots of grass to graze in and am enormous wallow. Luckily the girls loaded up easily- Capone tried to go along for a ride- and we were off.
That’s when we got the call about Reggie and plans changed.
Thankfully, we were able to leave our trailer there, and Chris raced down to Ohio to work on saving Reggie. Cari, the founder of Ahimsa, sprang into action looking for transporters. Cari’s dad and Dave ended up hauling Molly and Harriet down to Erin's Farm NFP, since Purdue was closed by then. Erin is incredible, and stepped up to make sure those two ladies completed their trip for their spays today.
Yesterday was exhausting, intense, and very long. We were able to accomplish so much because of the close friendships with other sanctuaries and animal advocates. When we work together, the animals win.

Harriet Gets a Checkup
The farm vet came out and thinks Harriet may have a bit of an upper respiratory infection as well as a stomach bug. She has the tiniest fever. This was honestly really scary for me. I’m comfortable with and feel relatively knowledgeable about medical care for cats and chickens. Pigs, especially big pigs that I can’t just throw into my car and take to an ER vet, are a whole different world. All four of them ALWAYS eat. When Harriet didn’t come for dinner I knew something was wrong. When she wouldn’t even stand up I panicked. The vet came out and gave her antibiotic and anti-inflammatory injections. Thankfully, she seems to be feeling better already. I’m hopeful that even if she’s not 100%, it’s not something life-threatening. When I went down to check on her about an hour after the vet left she came out and got a big drink and seemed much happier! Hopefully she will be her sweet, happy self again in the morning. We love you, Harriet!
