Dear Diary,
​
Today, I saw Huckleberry standing there. 
Soft, round, unsuspecting.

​I told myself, “Edna, you are new here. You must resist.”

When Edna first arrived at Life With Pigs, she spent her first two weeks of quarantine looking at every human with absolute terror. She kept her distance as much as she could and made it clear that affection was not desired.  

And then, once she was let out of quarantine, everything changed.  ​

(Please note, this was written before Edna had a name.  We've asked Jenna for comment, but she has been silent since the name announcement.  Maisie is following suit.)

​Jenna has long reigned as the only fully horned superstar around the sanctuary. But then there was a goat. Yep, a goat with horns.  Jenna doesn’t understand why that was necessary. She felt that two horns were plenty for one sanctuary.  She keeps pointing out that the new kid doesn’t even have a name.  We’ve explained many times that she will have a name soon, but Jenna doesn’t understand and just keeps coming back to she’s just not sure how to feel about a nameless goat.  

But we are reassuring her that no matter how many horns, she will always be the star of the show and that her horns will always be the biggest.  This provides a little comfort.

Maisie isn’t helping by constantly trying to sneak a peak of the newcomer. Fortunately, Jenna hasn’t noticed this betrayal. And Maisie is quick to agree with the absurdness of having no name whenever Jenna mentions it.  

Meet Edna: The Goat in the Woods
​Life at Life With Pigs Farm Animal Sanctuary is never short on surprises - and our newest rescue story is one for the books.

It all began when the sanctuary received a call from someone out on a hiking trail. For the past couple of months, they had noticed a goat wandering the woods. On this particular day, the goat began bleating at them, as if asking for help.

The goat was spotted near a bridge several miles down the trail, wearing a collar with cords attached - frayed and chewed, as though once tied but now broken free.
​
That Friday evening, Ryan headed out to the park about 45 minutes away, joined by one of the sanctuary’s brand-new volunteers. The volunteer had planned to spend the evening training at the sanctuary, but without hesitation, she shifted gears to join the search.
