I can imagine most of us have heard the phrase โSweating like a pigโ ๐ท๐ฆ over the last few days. While this is a common phrase, it is not accurate! โ
Pigs are mammals, just like us humans, and like all mammals when their body temperature gets too high they need to cool down ๐ฆ๐ฅต, so we sweat. But pigs cannot do this, they have no sweat glands.
Pigs have to find other ways to cool themselves down on these sunny, hot days ๐ฅต๐ฆโ๏ธ. We help them by giving them wallows, nice wet, muddy wallows๐ท๐ฆ. When pigs lie down and roll around in the soft mud, they benefit from the cooling temperature as the area under the earthโs top surface is much colder ๐๐ผ.
The mud also protects their delicate skin from the sun rays, what a great suncream โ๏ธ.
We are grateful to everyone who has donated to our appeals โ without you we couldnโt keep going. If you know anyone who would like to get involved by making a regular donation or organising a fundraiser for us, then please let us know. We need every penny we can get our trotters on ๐๐ผ๐ค๐ผ๐

Blowing Bubbles
Today was the perfect day for blowing bubbles in your wallow ๐๐ผโ๏ธ๐ซง Perfectly demonstrated by Twiglet ๐ท You need the volume up to fully appreciate her efforts ๐๐
Chip
We like to play a game these days called โWhatโs Chip done now?โ ๐๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ.
Heโs the most agile goat we have ever had at the Sanctuary ๐๐ฅฐ. His parkour skills are pretty impressive ๐๐๐ผ
Coco and Poppy
We caught mother and daughter duo, Coco and Poppy, having a little disagreement over who should have the best spotโฆapparently we need a bigger trampoline ๐๐ฅฐ๐
Clive loves a good roll in the dust ๐ซโค๏ธ.
No sooner do you take his head collar off heโs down on the floor rolling ๐๐ซ.
Heโs a happy donkey ๐ฅฐ๐ซ

โ๏ธ๐๐ผโค๏ธ Turn out day โค๏ธ๐๐ผโ๏ธ
Today is the day we have been waiting for ๐๐ผ
After a long, wet winter there has finally been a break in the weather and our sheep could finally get outside, to get some sun on their backs and to enjoy the good lush green grass ๐ฑ๐.
๐ฅฐ๐ Now it finally feels like spring ๐๐ฅฐ
Rugs off โ๏ธ๐ด
Today was a good day โ๏ธ it was warm enough to get the horses rugs off โ๏ธ๐ด.
Fred and Joel head straight for each other as soon as they have them off, they know the drill ๐ฅฐ they love each other so much ๐ฅฐ๐ด.
The weather is starting to change, just need it to dry the ground up now, then we can welcome all you lovely lot to the sanctuary once again ๐๐ผ๐ค๐ผ๐ฅฐ
Treats
Our donkeys love it when the Amazon treats arrive ๐ซ๐ฅฐ. Ernie was very excited ๐.
We are always so grateful for all the wonderful support we get from our wishlist. It is a huge help towards our costs ๐ฅณ.
๐จUnfortunately, Amazon do seem to often have problems with the delivery address of wish list items, we have tried to resolve this a few times, it is a problem on their end but they never seem to be able to resolve it unfortunately.
Our address is - The Farm Animal Sanctuary, School Lane, Middle Littleton, Evesham, Worcestershire, WR118LN. ๐จ
โค๏ธ Thank you for your generosity, the animals really appreciate you ๐พโค๏ธ and so do we โค๏ธ
