The Shelter Challenge is a contest where the shelter with the most votes
during a several month time frame wins money. The shelter with the most
in each state wins. Right now we're number one, but the guys who are
number 2 are catching up really fast, and they won the last two contests
and they got all the money. I think it's time to share !!!!
The top ten in the USA win money for that category too. We're #11. YOU
can move us into top place!! YOU can make us WIN. You've already saved
our lives, now make us winners.
All you have to do is vote for us every day. It's free. Not one penny.
And they don't send you junk email or anything. You can go to our web
page, www.RikkisRefuge.org and click on the $100,000 challenge. Or you
can use this quick little link http://bit.ly/bDLKJY
You'll enter our identifying information as Rikkis Refuge, Orange, VA,
USA - note no apostrophe in Rikki's - it will look us up on the list and
then ask you to click VOTE to cast your vote for us. You then must
perform a simply identification of an animal to verify you are hooman.
For example when they show a picture of a White Tiger - you must think
simple and type just TIGER, Siamese Cat is just CAT and so forth.

EXCERPTS FROM VINCENT'S DIARY
Monday 10 am
Working at Rikki's is always filled with fun and excitement and
unexpected events !!!! We never, just never, get bored here !!!!
And the closer mom is to a deadline and trying to work to keep it ......
The more likely it is to be an exciting day!!!!
I could play 20 questions with you all day and you'd never guess what
Valerie discovered on rounds this morning!! Never !!!! Should I tell
you - or make you play ?????
About the size of two, maybe three cans of Fancy Feast and it goes
squeak squeak oink oink squeak squeak ........
WHAT??? Bella has babies????? From WHERE!!!!! The guys are all
fixed and she doesn't even live with any of them. She and Lola hate the
other pigs and they have their own home. Roaming wild boar????
Hmmm how long has she been here ...... When was that last snow storm?
She arrived during that, a pet who kept escaping and getting arrested by
animal control. They took her home that day and her folks said aww just
keep her. So here's poor ACO Trish with a pig on her livestock trailer
and it's COLD and there's tons of snow on the ground AND they already
had another pig waiting to come to Rikki's. He'd been neutered and was
waiting till that "adjustment" time was up for him to come.
Beau a big pink guy with a black head had been a stray. Very friendly.
Neutered and roll. Literally. So she headed back to the shelter,
rounded up a crew of deputies and loaded Beau onto the trailer too.
Mom was busy out side taking care of all the snowy issues and didn't get
the phone call ..... At 4:30 pm all the animals were taken care of and
safely bedded up for the night and mom said the staff could go on and
leave in the hopes they'd get home safely before the roads got too icy.
Just as they were getting in the car ............
........... a couple sheriff cars and animal control truck hauling a
trailer pulls in. Mom's like HUH???? Lucky for everybody we have a
great friendly crew and everybody pitched in to help.
We couldn't even get to our usual pig quarantine pens. So we cleared a
path to Emu Estates. Had to dig out a house - remember it was about 3
feet deep - dig an area around the house cuz 3 feet is way over Bella or
Beau's head. Get bedding and food and water and get them all set up for
the night.
That was about 114 days ago. After seeing the babies this morning, Mom
came screaming into the office, "what is pig gestation?" I'm very smart
you know, I read the dictionary in my spare time, so I said, "gestation
means how long you're pregnant, it's the length of time ..." And she
said, "shut up smarty pants, let me get my chart out of my desk. Hmmmm
112-116 days. Today is ..... Bella arrived ..... Ah ha".
Now the next panic is, of course, was it Beau or was it before? Is that
why Bella went wondering that fateful day? Or Beau ...... So mom
went chasing Beau around for a feelie and found nothing. See mom run
.... See Beau run .... See mom run .... See Beau squeal ..... I think
I should write books, what do you think?
Mom didn't find any "goods" and so she called the shelter and Trish and
they definitely verified seeing him neutered and the "goods" being
removed. Pweeeee God willing the other female pigs ...... Bella must
have been out street walking, picking up guys, when Trish arrested her.
Monday 11 am
Mom and crew are working on fencing and all kinds of things needed now
for itty bitty baby pigs. they are about the size of 12 week old kittens.
Monday 11:14 am
Welcome to the world little one !!!!

Hi MOM !!!!!

Monday 1:40 pm
Refuge Rule 14,786: When working at Rikki's Refuge, ALWAYS keep a clean
change of clothes in your car !!!!! Valerie was helping Bella move
into her new home. Hint: pigs LOVE to roll in mud. Pigs cannot be
picked up by the scruff of the neck. Pigs don't willingly go where you
tell them to!!

Monday 4:43 pm
Mom isn't taking well to this baby thing, the babies seem a bit thin
too, they needed some extra warmth and bottle feeding.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rikkis_refuge/4743079617/
Monday 4:46 pm
Snuggy babies!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rikkis_refuge/4743079823/
Monday 4:48 pm
This is the active little one !
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rikkis_refuge/4743079993/
Monday 7:04 pm
They've all taken to the bottle very well. The runt is getting fed twice
as often. The others are climbing on mom and sucking her shirt. Bella is
sleeping well in the nursery we set up for her, lots of soft bedding,
she seems not to feel too good this evening. Hoping she's just tired and
confused. Convincing her to get in the truck to go to the vet is no easy
task!!! Anybody up for the 12-4 am shift? My heroes Kristy, Beth and
Katarina all volunteered to help with night shift.
Monday 8:16 pm
The last litter of pigs we had was in 2000, the littlest one had
problems and was treated with homeopathy by Dr Pitcairn. Her name was
changed as she grew into an elegant lady, she's now Frieda and still
lives with us!
Do you remember 10 years ago on a snowy Christmas Eve when Charlotte,
the one too young to possibly be pregnant when she arrived, gave birth
to four breach babies!!! The runt of that litter, now known as
Frieda, she started life as Little Tar Baby cuz she was just a speck of
black! She became a world famous pig when Dr. Pitcairn cured her
incurable malformed legs using homeopathy!
http://www.drpitcairn.com/homeopathy/Cases/tarbaby.html
Monday 8:21 pm
Well I have to go now. I have to help mommey bottle the babies. I can be
a good kitten daddy. I'll try to be a good piggy daddy. When we had baby
piggies before I couldn't help cuz I'd just come here too and I was
still really sick. Nighty night - pray we don't get any other excitement
like this tomorrow !!!!!
Tuesday 7:52 am
In Search Of - a new home. Must be QUIET environment - no squealing
babies, especially no piglets. Must have other mature cats for friends.
Must feed large quantities of luxury food, specifically Fancy Feast.
Cozy beds a must. Will purr and nuzzle ears in exchange. Must be willing
to over look ... um .... hmmm ... um... ... well .... little accidents.
call 1-800-SAV-VINCT
Tuesday 9:38 am
First thing on the 'puter every morning I vote in the Shelter Challenge.
I sure hope you do too!! (http://bit.ly/bDLKJY Rikkis Refuge, Orange
VA USA) Ahhh I'm a frog today !!!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rikkis_refuge/4696214360/
That sounds peaceful. Think I'll slip out of here and go down to the
creek. Packing my lunch cuz I'm eating Fancy Feast NOT flies today !!!
The piglets want to nurse mommey, their mommey Bella. Bella looks at
them charging for her and head butting her nipples and she runs
screaming. I don't blame her!!! And dang, the little black guy's tusks
are sharp!!!
If Bella has "assistance" staying still they'll nurse, but she starts
breathing hard and it pulls the nipples out of their mouths. We'll try
again a little later - maybe the mother instinct will kick in. Bella
should have thought about the outcome of going street walking back in
February. Not only did it make her a stray and got her arrested and
disowned, now it's got her piggies!!!
Tuesday 11:05 am
We survived the first night nursing the babies!! Mom fed the little
runt - and siblings - every hour - all night long. The GOOD NEWS is
they may only need that 3-10 days!! DAYS not even weeks !!!! Yippee
!!!!! The itty bitty runt is taking a couple licks of milk by himself
now.
Turn the volume up ALL the way to imagine the sounds of the hungry ones.
These were just fed! But LOOK the itty bitty teeny tiny runt takes a
drink on his own !!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V036Ip6E5vM
Bella still isn't very impressed with her babies. She needs
"assistance" lying down to feed them. And it only lasts a minute or so
before she runs away. Valerie will keep trying all day and keep paws
crossed she'll decide she loves her babies so they can move in with her.
Right now it's not safe to leave them in with her.
Tuesday 3:11 pm
Yipp Yipp the baby runt is scarfing down milk with corn meal like crazy
!!!!! Thank you Terri and Mira - the other two can chase mom around and
drink while she stands up. She's ok with that now, but little runty
can't reach!
Tuesday 6:39 pm
Hours and hours of teaching Bella to be a Mom ........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1trmrkP4vgs
Has finally paid off --- the happiest sight we've seen all day !!!!!
Note how the baby kneeds with his hoofs, head butts, roots all over the
place - no wonder this didn't thrill Bella !!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un-_fY24Iyw
Tuesday 9:34 pm
I had to type in my security check word to make the last post on
facebook and it was: "squealer reports" --- how appropriate!!!!
The two bigger ones are sleeping with mom Bella. The little one will be
sleeping with me and my mom. The little one won't stay in the house with
her family and keeps coming out and walking around and then falling
asleep on the ground. Mom doesn't think that's safe overnight. She's
just a baby and will be too cold and lonely. She is gulping at her
bottle and eating cornmeal mush and she's much stronger today. I think
she's gonna be ok !!!!! But still keep your paws crossed.

Wednesday 9:30 am
Piggy family doing great this morning. The two stayed with mom all night
and are now out laying in the sun with her. Do they ever stop
nursing???? What little PIGS !!!!
Little bit is tucked in between two hot water bottles sleeping. The
hoomans are feeding her. It's cool out this morning. When it warms up
they'll work on getting her on Bella. Mom says she's gonna charge Bella
day care fees if this keeps up!!
Wednesday 7:45 pm
My tails dragging, I'm whooped!!! Gonna try to catch up with my notes a
bit before my whiskers hit the keyboard. All was fine here today, just
fast and fine. Bella's very successfully nursing the two bigger piggies.
The itty bitty one can't get the hang of holding on to a nipple so she's
still on a bottle. Lena just left and took her home for the night.
Yippee Good News Happy Dance Happy Dance Happy Dance Happy Dance !!!!!
Lena just left for the night AND took the itty bitty pig with her !!!!
Two are nursing well with Bella, their mom. But the itty bitty one just
can't figure out how to hold on well. She's gonna play piggy mommey
tonight!!!!
Most employees who arrived at 4:30 in the morning and worked tirelessly
all day long, never sitting down, not taking a lunch break, shoving down
a sandwich with one hand while helping an animal with the other wouldn't
be ready to take work home with them when they were leaving at 7:30 pm.
That's 15 hours of non stop fast and furious live saving love Lena
dispensed all day.
But Lena can't go home with out taking something! 6 of the doggies go
home with her every night. And tonight she's taking baby runty piggie
home too. She's gonna piggysit all night for us. Bye bye baby piggie,
see you in the morning.
Thursday 5:15 am
Lena is late for work this morning. Her hours don't officially begin
till 8 am, but for her, if she isn't here by 5 am, she's late. As she
lets the dogs out of her truck, she shouts come see the baby!!!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rikkis_refuge/4751856774/
My gosh, she's gained weight over night and she's eating like ... well
like .... like a PIG !!!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rikkis_refuge/4751856812/
Thursday 6:15 am
Her nursery already looks like a pig pen !!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlQgod1kjbM
Bella and the other two are doing fine as one happy family unit.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rikkis_refuge/4751216295/
They've got the to suckle and to be suckled thing down just fine. Here
they are snoozing after Bella had a breakfast of 4 bananas, a loaf of
whole wheat raisin bread, an eggplant, 4 yellow squash, a huge zucchini,
6 apples, and two quarts of mixed grain!! Just a light morning snack!

I keep trying to find a job I can do, yet I get rejected over and over
at interviews. It always goes well on the phone, they're impressed with
my resume. Yet when I get there and sit down for the interview, they
take one look at me and start laughing. "You're just an old three
legged cat!"
"Yes sir. I have a very large family to support. I'll take on any
task. I'm purrsonable, charming, reliable ..." And before you know it
they've booted me out the door.
We'll I better be closing here. I have an interview in 4 hours at Food
Lion. In the cat food section. I sure hope it comes with good
benefits. Gotta get Nanny fed and the goat cart hooked up so we can get
to town in time. I hope to see you at the tour Sunday!!!
