Violet,
a pink pig, came to live at Wildlife Rescue this fall. She came to us
from a family who could no longer care for her. Violet has a neurological
disorder that affects her back legs. When she first arrived, she was
only able to drag herself around the yard and only for a few feet at
a time before needing to pause and rest. But after a few weeks of fresh
air and exercise, she is walking and even running at times. Violet told
us she did not need her hydrotherapy by running away so quickly, the
caretakers couldn't catch her!
Shorly
after Violet arrived, we also accepted a black pot-belly male pig, cast
off by his family. He was placed in the same area as Violet, and the
two immediately became friends. The male was named Augustus (Violet
and Augustus were two characters from Willy Wonka.) They live together
as a pair in the yard of the Administration Building and spend their
days eating, wallowing in the mud, and sleeping under a bush together.

Many
WRR members have the opportunity to support the work of Wildlife Rescue
through payroll contributions at work. WRR is represented by Earth Share
of Texas, an umbrella group for Texas' leading environmental and conservation
groups. Most workplace giving campaigns are conducted from September
through early November, so now is the time to look for pledge cards
in your workplace. Look for Earth Share of Texas and Wildlife Rescue
in campaign literature and on pledge cards at all state agencies; all
state colleges and universities; federal agencies in most parts of Texas;
Houston and Austin school districts; Austin, Dallas, El Paso and Houston
municipal offices; and many private employers including American Airlines,
Campaq Computer Corporation, Dell Computer Corporation, Green Mountain
Energy and Vignette.
If
your employer doesn't offer the chance to support Wildlife Rescue and
the other Earth Share of Texas environmental groups, visit Earth Share
of Texas on the web at www.earthshare-texas.org, call 800- GREENTX or
