Every year, Wimbledon uses over 50,000 tennis balls over the course of the competition. Some of them are reusable on tennis courts, although maybe not in tournament play, but the vast majority need recycling. This is where the unlikely help of the harvest mouse comes in.

The tiny, brown mice have numerous predators in the wild. Tall grass provides them some protection, but not as much as custom-built homes that shelter them from predators and elements alike.

The fascinating and touching story of Lampo the train dog is well known. Lampo, a mixed-breed puppy with the appearance of a German Shepherd, became famous in Italy in the 1950s for his extraordinary ability to travel alone by train and always return home.

Lampo lived at the Campiglia Marittima train station, where he was adopted by a station attendant. One day the puppy simply jumped on a train and, to everyone's surprise, not only did he travel alone, but he also knew exactly when and where to get off to return!

He made many trips to nearby towns and always found his way back to the station, becoming very popular with passengers and railway workers.

What was most amazing was that Lampo seemed to understand the train schedules perfectly and never took the wrong train. It is even said that he helped the passengers find their way around.

Today, Lampo is honored with a statue at Campiglia Marittima train station that honors his incredible desire to travel and his intelligence. His story has touched the hearts of many generations and remains a symbol of the special bond between humans and animals.

Please consider donating items for the ASU so they can continue their amazing educational work :)

Why not purchase and donate on behalf of someone this year? Cannot think of a better gift than the gift of giving ❤️❤️❤️

Next time someone asks ‘what size are you?’ Say ‘I’m a size hand towels for guinea pigs babes x’

We are currently short of some items around the farm so are looking for the following:
▪️Pet carriers- any size
▪️Small towels (hand towels)
▪️Children’s boots - wellingtons or short boots
▪️Grooming brushes
▪️A microwave
▪️Yoga/gym mats
▪️Small animal hides

If anyone has any of these items they would be willing to donate or sell for a small fee we would be so grateful!
As most of you know we are a self funded farm so there is minimal budget available for us to buy at the moment.
