Our New Life in Devon

 Well the dogs recovered well so I didn't need to go back to the vet tg. I did splash out on a steam mop to do all the floors. I've convinced myself that 100 degree steam will kill guiardia as it lives in cool or cold water so did most of the house and rug in the living room.
