Oct 30th 

Out early to catch the warmth of the morning sun with a full belly (my diet of lots of veggies of course ), morning walks to get me feeling in tip top shape again, and then naps after all my hard work!

Update on Charlie-

It’s been two months since he began his diet and exercise plan to get the weight off and help with his pain. He only takes a couple of tries to get to his feet at this point and even has a pep in his step…picking up his pace when he sees food coming, something he could not do before without stepping on his belly!

While his back is still bowed and his legs still positioned outward (a posture he’s had to learn to walk with to adjust to his weight) we are hoping overtime will get better. He is picking up his feet less (something he does to adjust when he’s uncomfortable standing for long periods of time). He has gone from daily pain meds to every other day (as they can be hard on his stomach). We hope to eventually be able to taper down his pain meds even more.

For now he’s in a smaller area where he’s able to get to his water bowl and shelter by memory. However our hopes are that in the future he will finally be able to open his eyes and see (without all the extra skin preventing this) and be able to explore in a community area with other piggies again!

Such a drastic difference in two months reminds us as to why this is all worth it!
