Ziggy The Pig Is A One Of A Kind, Unique Pet

"Living with a pig is crazy," says Jay Yontz. Jay and his girlfriend Kristin Hartness are pet-parents to a friendly pig named Ziggy—and there are plenty of crazy things about this little family's story!

Kristin adopted Ziggy when she was living in the Virgin Islands and dating Jay. In the ad that Kristin answered, Ziggy was described as a teacup pig who would grow to about 20 pounds. Well, fast-forward to Ziggy as an adult pig. He weighs 250 pounds!

Kristin and Jay don't mind having a full-sized pig; they say having Ziggy is kind of like having a dog! But their pet pig made finding an apartment when they left the Virgin Islands a major struggle: there aren't a lot of apartment buildings that allow for this type of furry friend. According to Kirstin, "giving up Ziggy was never an option." So she and Jay decided to hit the road with Ziggy in tow.

Back in the states, the couple bought a motorhome. It accommodates Ziggy, and it allows Kristin and Jay to "live everywhere," as Jay describes it. Sure sounds like a perfect situation for this adventurous couple, who met on a destination island and adopted a pig!

Farm Becomes Sanctuary for Animals After Tragedy

The impetus for the creation of the Ima Survivor Animal Sanctuary was the awful week in August 2017 when Hurricane Harvey meandered about southeast Texas unleashing biblical amounts of rain and wreaking havoc on the people and animals who lived there. The survival of a donkey named Ima Jean from 6 foot flood waters, her struggle to live and the fight to survive by her and the other animals from Lester Morrow's ranch is the inspiration for this unique habitat.

Using Music and Art to Build Friendships on the Border

In a small, brightly decorated building only a stone's throw from the border wall between Mexico and the USA, 50 to 100 children a week come to do hands-on art projects, learn a musical instrument, or just socialize with others. In this special place, Director Gretchen Baer's mission is to show kids that anything is possible if you think creatively, no matter who you are or where you came from.

Nonprofit Studio Mariposa is a free transformative art center for kids in Naco, Mexico, along the Arizona border. For the past three years, kids come to the small studio once a week where Gretchen and her volunteers set up art projects and music lessons. The art projects include painting, making bracelets, mosaics and weaving on a loom.

Comedians Prove Laughter is the Best Medicine

This could be one of our favorite "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" stories…. literally.

Back in 1999, Saranne Rothberg, a New York City actor, received a cancer diagnosis and began a difficult regimen of therapy. Rather than being dragged down by sadness, Saranne tapped into the healing powers of humor. Once she began feeling better, she realized it could work for others, too, and the idea for Comedy Cures was born.
