I have had the privilege and pleasure of knowing Lorraine and her family since I was a young girl and finally got down to a long chat with her about how Japaloupppe evolved into what it is today: a place for the best memories for kids and people to know animals. My time there when it was just a stud farm and we were mad kids was special, but nothing as special like her memories of building Japp and giving so much joy to so many kids, including my own daughter!! My biggest complaint? Why wasn't there a Japp for me when I was growing up??

Enjoy this lovely episode on Japaoluppe's 25th Anniversary year :)
