A week off, well not quite as these strong hands were put to work on laying floors, painting, sanding and I built the girls a bunk bed as a space saver in our bedroom 😂. We did squeeze in one lovely fell walk though.

My friends dog is missing 24hrs now. We are all desperate to see her home safe. It’s like she has just vanished, no sightings or leads to go on. Please help circulate this and get folk looking. Ran scared from her home in Tretio yesterday after getting a zap on an electric fence. She is a very friendly people oriented dog. If anyone has seen her please get in touch.

It can also treat other conditions such as acute back pain due to muscle spasm. I have had some success using it to treat Whiplash and for strengthening atrophied muscles as well as for nerve damaged muscles.
