Hello friends!
Whoever believes that pigs are not smart have clearly never
spent any time with pigs! They really are like a two year old! You all know Miss
Daisy, one of the newest additions to the barn. Well, she has been keeping us
on our toes. We received Daisy as a little piglet so she isn’t quite as calm as
sweet (sometimes grumpy) older Miss Violet. Daisy is as darling as can be and thrives on
attention but boy is she clever. Her latest mission has been to find new ways
out of the fencing so we continue to try and stay one step ahead of her plots.
Ever try to outsmart a little piggy? Well, it isn’t easy! We have given her dog
treat dispensers and even tried giving her Bodhi’s big treat dispenser to keep
her occupied, but both have been short lived. We would love some ideas from you
all on some new, creative, and safe means to keep this girl entertained and out
of mischief. She might just be upset because she doesn’t have a sponsor yet, so
if any of you animal lovers out there would like to sponsor Daisy,
we would be grateful. She loves being the center of attention and you would
just absolutely make her day. Sponsoring her would most definitely be an oink
of a good time!
Has anyone noticed anything new about the look of Project:
Thrive? If you guessed a new, updated website then you are absolutely correct!
Take a few minutes and check out the official website for Project:Thrive. We think we looked pretty good before, but now
we are just simply dazzling! We can’t stop looking at ourselves. The creative
genius behind our revamped site is no other than our amazing volunteer Lisa
Crowe. Lisa is the owner/operator/designer of Lightshine Design, a web
design/graphic artistry company. We are so lucky to have such talent helping us
here at Project: Thrive. If you are looking for web design work or graphic
design, check out Lisa’s official website at Lightshine Design. A big, heartfelt
thank you to Lisa for keeping us looking beautiful and functioning properly in
the web-o-sphere.
We have another great big shout out to give and that goes to
every single one of you that helped in covering the costs for the barn kittens.
We are in the process of getting them vetted and will have pictures of the
little cuties coming soon. You all never cease to amaze us. We asked for help
and you came rushing to our side. What a big difference you have made in the
lives of these kitties. From all of us here at the barn, thank you!
It’s about that time again. Springtime! You know what that
means. Lots and lots of kiddos coming out to enjoy the animals and learn about
treating all living beings with kindness and compassion. That also means that
we need volunteers. Groups, schools, and various organizations have already
inquired about scheduling time to come out this spring. We will let you know
specific dates and further information as it gets closer, but if you have any
interest in volunteering with us during these events, please reach out and let
us know via our Volunteer
Page.
Don’t forget that even though we have a lot of volunteer
opportunities here on site with the animals, we also have many opportunities to
volunteer remotely. We know there are a lot of creative juices out there and we
would love for you to share your ideas and talents with us. If you are
interested, let us know how you think you can best help. We would love to hear
your thoughts. Drop us a line on our Volunteer Page. With
so many mouths to feed and care to give, we are always in need of donations and
sponsors. If you have a little extra and you want to contribute to Project: Thrive
and support our mission, we would be very appreciative. To learn more about
making a donation please visit our website to DONATE. Don’t forget
about AmazonSmiles! Remember that with AmazonSmiles, whenever you place an order,
a portion of the proceeds will be directed to the charity of your choice at no
additional cost to you. What a great way to support an organization like
Project: Thrive!
As always, thank you all for your continued support and
generosity. We appreciate you more than you could know.

In Kindness,
