RJ needs to do community service as part of the Lyceum program at her school. We’ve been thinking about where she might want to put in some hours and I thought – “Hey, the pig sanctuary.” Sure enough, Rooterville welcomes children volunteers and the very nice Elaine responded to my email and graciously invited us out for a visit.
We went out yesterday and wandered around the sanctuary, meeting the pigs and talking about what type of help we might be able to offer. Then, we went out again today and spent a couple of hours cleaning food and water bowls and pools, brushing pigs, and adding hay to the pens to help keep the pigs warm tonight when the temperatures are expected to drop.
If you live in the Gainesville area and are interested in helping the folks at Rooterville take care of displaced pigs, please drop Elaine a note, she can use some help.

Cool!!!
