With the help of Dr. Becky, we make keeping our animals vaccinated
a priority.
Frontline application and heart worm prophylaxis are a monthly task.
Yesterday it was time for the piggies to get their vaccinations.
Ginger and MaryAnn have never been a problem to vaccinate.
They are so very motivated by food that if you have a treat to occupy them,
you can do just about anything to them.
While they don't enjoy their vaccinations, they tolerate them
thanks to a bowl of carrot coins.
These girls' skin is very tough and difficult to get a needle through...
in fact, their rump is almost impenetrable,
so Dr. Becky vaccinates them in the shoulder area.
A little squeal of protest is about all they give us,
as they munch, munch, munch on their yummy carrots.
When the carrots are finished a flake of hay takes their mind
off the harrowing (not) experience.
They never hold a grudge...
actually, I think they forget the "ouch" almost immediately.

Saturday Hubbs and I had a day away from the farm.
We joined a group of our friends and headed to State College
for the Penn State - Illinois football game.
We had a blast and returned home to find this gift from our dog sitter:
I hope you enjoyed this as much as we did....
we laughed hysterically!
PS...that ending frame was supposed to say:
"Thank you Kelley!"

Love your blog and all of your animal friends-----even your egg laying chicken in the kitchen.
SOOOOO funny!
Glad those two got their shots without a problem.
