Update on Noahs ark surgeries this year - noahs ark pbp sanctuary

Surgeries this year...........Mary Jane was spayed and wound up doing awful........thought I was going to lose her but she rallied and is doing fine now. Leila was spayed also and had multiple problems..........had to have Vit. K injections.......was tough going but she is doing fine also.
Hannibal had to have surgery under his chin for a MASSIVE abcess that I could not cut open myself.........it was a nasty mess. Dr. Kennedy brought me out a big bowl of goop that looked like raw hamburger..........yuk. He is still not out of the woods and then Jake.........with his surgery . He is doing the best and the quickest recovery of them all. I cannot imagine the pain he was in. Kennedy took the x-rays. This is when he found the bone growing to where he was biting on it............it is a wonder he ate at all........ He seems to be enjoying life so much more now. I have been to the vets every week now for over a month in a row. Next Tues. Daisy Charlene has to go in for some wicked nasty sores on her that crust over and then start bleeding.......... No telling what that will be....... if you would like to help them please visit: http://www.noahsarkpbprescue.org/

Oil City Rescue Update

When we got the email from Tracy McDaniel and Pepper, we knew it would take a miracle to save these pigs in Oil City, Louisanna. Tracy and Pepper jumped right in and soon other volunteers jumped in to help. I put the word out to our groups that not only volunteers was needed but we needed funds. With the economy the way it is, we were turned down on all but one grant that we wrote for. It was enough to cover all the neutering and transport. Tracy and Steve bought food and pools and others picked up plywood and other needed materials.Then Tracy and Steve decided to go and help to round them up. Then the second surprise came when they decided to go back and help with the hauling. What troopers they were. Pepper and Kelly took care of the everyday feeding and watering until the pigs could be vetted and blood testing done. Then came the big transport days. We found homes for 6 in Cave Springs, GA and 4 more found a home with a gal named Heather in GA. Kim Pohle said she would take and help place any we didn't find homes for. Elaine and Dale West of Rooterville agreed to take and place 10. Even the veterinarian's assistant took one of the sows that delivered five babies the day they began their journey. This could never have happened without all of them jumping in to help. One little guy had a penis problem and Dr. Joan Poster of CT. decided to take him and do some surgery on him and give him a forever home with her and her family.We owe a big thank you to all of the following people who helped one way or the other. for more info about this please visit: http://www.farec.org/

Blockhead Radio Charity Box & Blog

The concept behind Blockhead Radio has always been "Artisan for Artisan". In fact, our humble beginnings were launched with a show of that name. Here at Blockhead Radio we constantly strive to build a community that will benefit all the independent artisans out there.Blockhead Radio seeks to help the independent artisans in many aspects. Whether it be marketing strategies that an artisan can employ, a venue to get some feedback, or a support system when life seems to go a bit awry. http://bhrcharitybox.blogspot.com/ We often have situations brought to our attention where an artisan and/or their family have been affected by some obstacle. Our hearts and warm wishes are the first things that are extended, but often we find ourselves wanting to provide more to help alleviate their heavy hearts.Thus, the concept of the Blockhead Radio Charity Sampler Box was born: from many touching stories of artisans where our warm wishes and prayers somehow did not seem like enough.All net proceeds from the sales of the BHR Charity Sampler Box will be used in two ways.1) To give support to the many teams and groups who are putting time and effort into garnering awareness for charities. Every month, half of the net proceeds made from the sale of the BHR Charity Sampler Box will be donated to a chosen team or group's charity. A committee of 5 people will make this decision.2) To raise proceeds to establish a charity whose sole purpose will be geared towards providing support and/or relief to artisans in need. Half of the net proceeds made from the sale of the BHR Charity Sampler Box will be used to help establish this charity. A committee of 5 people will make this decision as well. No part of BHR management will be involved in this decision.With the advent of the BHR Charity Sampler Box we are accomplishing two driving ideals behind Blockhead Radio: giving back through charity and exposing independent artisans to the world. Let's show the world that the independent artisan community has just as much heart and clout as those big corporations. We know we have more heart and generally it is handmade which means it is all the more invaluable! Visit BHR for more! or http://blockheadradiolive.com/purchase
