I came across this inspired story from People magazine how Elenor Pigby, 7 month old little lovely animal currently brings so much joy to students who have learning challenges at Summit School. She along with her buddies Sawyer and Scout the goats inspire everyone to hike and participate in school activities. They enjoy belly rubs, tomatoes, pizzas and snacks from everyone. ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ•๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ‘

Iโ€™m joyful to see these lovely animals are considered as peopleโ€™ friends, not food source; and hopefully with this exposure to their intelligence and loving nature, in time everyone on this planet will understand and have more compassion to these animals. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’š

When I was at school one girl had a pet pig called Cyril!

Baby is well and still getting spoilt!

How are you and Sonya and Lucy getting on?

I Am ok in myself and still going to interviews and had one last Tuesday when they asked me if I was married which had put me off the place so I was happy when I wasn't offered that job as that's not on!

I really really enjoyed my weekend away last weekend at the seaside as it was my first one out since February 2020.

Awe how lovely Catgirl, I wonder how did she come up with the name Cypril. ๐Ÿ˜

Thank you, everyone is shedding winter coat and snuggle galore in blanket these days. Iโ€™m glad to hear Baby is doing great and you had such a great time at your getaway weekend last week. Enjoy your weekend with Baby!๐Ÿ˜ป

Today has been a kitchen afternoon and watching films and catching up on the washing here which has been nice and relaxing as sometimes it's nice to be in on a Saturday.

I have made a fish pie for lunch tomorrow and also a root veg pie for later on in the week to reheat when I'm ready.

Last week when I was away my friends and I got commended by one of my friends parents for our understanding and gracious attitude when a place said they had run out of Sunday dinners so we had other things which we really enjoyed instead.

What a lovely group of friends๐Ÿค—. That goat is really eyeing that pizza๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ˜‚... Children have such a deep harmony with nature and animals like Eleanor. This is a great example and glad you shared it with us. Its a great reminder they are our friends, not food๐Ÿ˜Š. Have a restful night๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒŒ

Yessss thatโ€™s where my eyes zooming in the adorable goat, he loves pizza ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸคฃAbsolutely the bond between children and animals is very pure and loving. I think when we include animals in our childhood, we start learning how to give and receive love along with responsibilities to keep our fur babies safe and sound also. Cats and dogs are traditional pets which we most acknowledge of and this I find very endearing to include pigs and goats in children mind the concept of all animals deserve love and care as they are capable of responding to a whole another sentimental level that we human need to acknowledge that. ๐Ÿ’š

What a great uplifting story ๐Ÿท Thank you for sharing this with us. Eleanor Pigby ๐Ÿ– has a very cool name, too. Anyone who has animals in their life knows they are friends or family and not food. It's really good that Eleanor Pigby and goat ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ friends are participating in the children's life as friends and companions.

Awe Iโ€™m so glad you enjoyed this story as much as I do. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’šYess such a beautiful name for this 7 month old girl and she hikes, she gets all these children to get going and uplifting their spirit in class. Iโ€™m so glad they introduce these animals besides our traditional dogs and cats into their lives in this schoolโ€™s therapeutic program. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

Even some of us donโ€™t have a chance to expose to these animals but thanks to social media, I hope this kind of story can invoke the deep loving feeling of all human towards all animals that they are capable of showing love, interacting and well deserved our love and care.

We shall rescue than killing/consuming animals for food/fashion/household sources. Thatโ€™s the harmony with the Universe. Whatever old beliefs of traditional food as beef, chicken, pork need to let go. People can hold on to those but itโ€™s time to let go as the whole world is raising the awareness and changing their way for more compassion and climate crisis reverse.

Iโ€™d love to see stories and photos of your wonderful fur sheep babies ๐Ÿ‘ as everyone will be able to see them beyond food and fur for consumption. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’š

I feel that by accident I have been done a favour when they put the price of beef up to a silly price recently as I looked on it as an opportunity to try something else and that I have done.

What a lovely post Koko, thats so great - animals and humans together like that. I can see the goat eyeing up the pizza ๐Ÿ˜ how adorable

in reply to Kitten-whiskers

Awe thank you Debs, this kind of story just makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’š While waiting in physicianโ€™s office, I was just going through these magazines and Iโ€™m glad to see this type of magazine still has a small corner for these lovely animals. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

My eyes did go towards the sooo adorable face of the goat like heโ€™s smiling and eyeing the pizza, telling them he wanted some. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yes Debs the love and compassion is not only limited to traditional cats and dogs pets but All animals deserve our love and care as they are absolutely capable of give and receiving love from human. ๐Ÿค—

This is when social media does animals justice by speaking up for them and we shall cherish and embrace these amazing living things on this Earth ๐ŸŒ ๐Ÿ’š

I could not agree more Koko - this is great news and I do hope the goat got some pizza ๐Ÿ˜

in reply to Kitten-whiskers

That's an awesome feel good story. Eleanor is certainly a roll model. I'm glad the kids are able to interact with her and all her friends and be active and happy. This brings to mind a pig by the name of Chris P. Bacon hahaha, but a superstar in his own right

in reply to Kainan

No bacon Kainan, we shall omit that term here. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

Iโ€™m glad you enjoyed this story. Iโ€™m surprised People magazine does include this story into their columns. ๐Ÿ˜ Mental health is important for these children who have learning challenges and Iโ€™m so glad animal service is used for their therapeutic program. Animals are friends, not food or consumption. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’š

Howโ€™s Stella doing? Hope she has plenty of treats and keeping warm in this weather.

Have a great weekend Kainan. ๐Ÿค—
