Pedigree Joint Care+ Week Five Tess Reporting



Hello and welcome back to this weeks report about
 Pedigree Joint Care+











"I can't do it,  I just can't"
"Tess what's wrong with you?"












Hang on, while I find out









"I had a lovely time on my play date with Ellie, but she's so fast
 I couldn't keep up with her!
 It looks bad George, because I am feeling a lot better really"










"Tess, nobody expects you to run around at a 100miles an hour, you have a bad hip, and the good thing is you weren't tired the next day, so this Joint Care+ must be working, do you want me to stand in for you?"
"Yes Please"












OK Tess is a little embarrassed because
 Ellie can run faster than her!!






Here's the photos and a video of her play date 


"Come on Ellie, I'm waiting"







"Are you up to a run around Tess?"







"Of course I am"







"On your marks get set"







 GO!












"You're fast Ellie, but I think I can go some more"







"Are you OK Tess"
"I'm fine, I don't think I could of managed that much running around six weeks ago. 
But Joint Care+ has made a big difference, and I've only been on it small amount of time. Next time I come on a play date I might just catch you"



As you can see Tess had a very active hours play at Ellie's

 Next we have a video of her swimming, 
she was going every week but its down to once a fortnight 







 "Thank You George"






That's it for this weeks Joint Care+ report
Next Sunday will be Week Six and the last report.








I don't like seeing my sister embarrassed, please tell her it doesn't matter if she can't run fast.
 I'm happy that she feels a lot better having been on 
Joint Care+ for just five weeks.
