As a pet lover, I would like to share a little tale with you, and anyone interested. I was bringing my kids back home with my dog, a 50kg Akita called BOB. The school is in the mountains of Bogota and we use a park that drops 200m along a pathway. Bob slipped on loose soil and was crying and holding his front right paw in the air. He hobbled back home and we gave him hot and cold foot baths to keep the swelling down. That night we took him for an xray which revealed no broken bones, we put the paw in a human wrist support and gave him a few days. He was still hobbling after 3 days so off we went to the vet who said his ligaments were shot, he would take him there and operate the next day, recovery could be 6 months with his leg in plaster, maybe longer as he is 10 and a big heavy dog. Even if all went well he might only get 60% activity back and it is a painful recovery. We took him home to think of our options, would it be right to put him through that pain at his age?
A friend told us of a lady who does acupuncture for animals so we thought give it a go, just to relieve his pain abit.
The lady doc started at the toes of his bad foot and worked until she found pain, it ends up he pulled a muscle at the top of his shoulder, his foot was swollen but not the cause of the limping. A full xray showed no spinal or bone damage.
After 6 treatments and 3 weeks later he is about 90 % fixed, he still gets a twinge when playing silly buggers. From now on if any thing goes wrong with him he is off to this lady first. I was a total skeptic , but i feel lucky that we gave this lady a chance, we were so close to ruining Bobs life.

Much lower score than I thought they would get , when Smith & Finch were motoring .
 
Australia were strolling along and not losing too many wickets....England in the same position would be expected to score a lot in the final 10 overs, but wickets fell at the right time to check the Aussies. A low score, but I'll save the crowing until we are safely home.
