CROMWELL UPDATE: Cromwell is doing AWESOME and got a visit from Mom (along with some strawberries and a half-hour belly rub) at UCD Vet Hospital today! The doctor said he was really pleasantly surprised by how well he is progressing, and though healing will be very slow, it is moving in the right direction (swipe to see his precious cast 🥺)! He saw him get up and use on his bad foot twice today which means that the pain meds they have him on and the block on his good toe (to take weight/pressure off the injured one) is working! Unfortunately his IV catheters in his ears stopped working and @_mother_of_chickens got the chance to learned a lot about the challenges of getting catheters to stay functional in these big guys. They are giving him a Fentanyl patch this evening to manage pain. This should last until his next bandage change at which point they can try to reinsert the ear catheters while he’s sedated. He did NOT like the sound of the electric razor to buzz off some hair for the patch, but Dr. Turner was very patient with him. We are so grateful for the doctors, residents, and staff at UCD and for all of you who are cheering him on! As requested by our friends at @imthefunkychicken #teamcromwell shirts coming soon to support the cost of his care! #crommycrom #bestbud #pigstagram #loveoneanother #pigsofinstagram #friendsnotfood #sanctuary #loveoneanother #bekind #veganforhim #rescued #piglovers #pigsaspets #cromwellthemagnificent (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZA1lvRpgE6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sometimes Cromwell likes to serenade his pumpkins. It makes for a more pleasant snacking experience for all involved. 🐷 🎶 🎃 Have pumpkins to donate to the animals? You can bring them to our Giving Tuesday celebration at @theburgerpatch in Midtown from 4-6 on November 30th! Stay tuned for more details! #givingtuesday #burgerpatch #bekind #loveoneanother #pigsarefriendsnotfood #pumpkins #pigsofinstagram #piggo #giveback #operasinger #crommycrom (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWqzZeHvBjT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Want to help collect pumpkins for Cromwell and his friends?! Simply designate an area on your porch or front lawn and place a sign for your neighborhood (check out the perfect sign one of our supporters made)! When your pumpkins are overflowing, drop them off outside the sanctuary gates or e-mail us at info@blackberrycreek.org and we’ll have a volunteer come pick them up in early December if you’re in the Sacramento Area! *No mold, paint, glitter or other contaminants please! #pumpkinparty #pumpkinsforthepigs #crommycrom #helpersrock #pumpkindonation #pumpkinseason #pigstagram #pigsarefriendsnotfood (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWMIwcrBM-l/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cromwell‘s mother jumped from a livestock truck on Highway 50 to escape slaughter while pregnant (which is sadly very common), and in doing so saved the lives of her nine unborn babies. If you already knew that pigs have a higher level of intelligence, reasoning, and emotional capacity than dogs, you can now add bravery to the list. Cromwell is kind, sensitive, and loving, and we couldn’t imagine a world without him. Thank you @_animalplace for taking in his mother, Rita and giving her and her other six children a permanent forever home. #loveoneanother #pigsofinstagram #blackberrycreek #rescuedpig #rescuedandloved #bravery #courage #sacrifice #amotherslove #pigsofinstagram #cutepigs #sanctuarylife #bestmama #cromwell #jamescromwell #piglovers #bellyrubfan #crommycrom (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-uufbOg26e/?igshid=1shi1fkqaf0f2

Did you know pigs are as intelligent as three-year-old humans? Cromwell tilts his head up and grunts once to say hello to people he likes. ♥️🐷♥️ #crommycrom #pigstagram #piglovers #bekind #thispigissmarterthanyourtoddler #pigsofinstagram #blackberrycreek #pigoftheday #animalcommunication https://www.instagram.com/p/B6O3n8ZHzR9/?igshid=11giybmtxgzwm
