Social media reunites 86-year-old woman with her beloved donkeys
A woman who last track of her adoptive donkeys following a devastating house fire is finally set to reunite with her beloved pets. Margaret Adams, 86, moved to Ireland two decades ago and has been based in Killeagh, East Cork. Earlier this year, the British native lost all of her belongings when a fire quickly engulfed her thatched house. Pic: Trace My Donkeys/ Facebook Fortunately, Margaret escaped the blaze while a quick-acting neighbour rescued her dogs, Misty and Lurcher. Following the demise of her home, Margaret returned to the United Kingdom to spend time with her brother, but was adamant to return to her home away from home in Cork. As well as her canine friends, Margaret was also owner to a pair of pet donkeys, Dolly and Daisy, who were rehomed following the fire. Fortunately, Margaret escaped the blaze while a quick-acting neighbour rescued her dogs, Misty and Lurcher. Pic: Go Fund Me Margaret regrettably gave up her donkeys two days after the fire, with her friend appealing on Facebook to reconnect the woman with her pets. An appeal issued on Facebook group Trace My Donkeys, detailed how Margaret thought she would have contact with her donkeys. A friend of Margaret's detailed that Margaret was back in her home of East Cork but couldn't locate Dolly and Daisy, who had been relocated. Earlier this week, Bernie, who appealed for the missing donkeys, shared a beautiful update confirming that Dolly and Daisy had been found 'safe and well in the UK.' Pic: Trace My Donkeys/ Facebook Earlier this week, Bernie, who appealed for the missing donkeys, shared a beautiful update confirming that Dolly and Daisy had been found 'safe and well in the UK.' In a testament to the power of social media, the family who were caring for Dolly and Daisy saw the appeal and made contact thinking they had the donkeys. Bernie confirmed: 'Dolly and Daisy have travelled many, many miles over many, many hours from their home in East Cork to the UK and they will be doing it all again but this time returning to where they belong. 'Margaret will be absolutely over the moon to meet her beautiful donkeys again as will very many other people who knew and loved them dearly.'

What to do if you lose too much weight too quickly whilst on Mounjaro IF you're losing too much weight too quickly while on Mounjaro, it's important to take action to avoid potential health risks like muscle loss, malnutrition, dehydration, and fatigue. Here's what you can do: Evaluate Your Caloric Intake Mounjaro reduces appetite, which can make it easy to eat too little. If you're losing weight too fast (more than two to three lbs per week after the initial adjustment period), try: Tracking your food intake to ensure you're eating enough calories (apps like MyFitnessPal can help). Increasing protein intake to preserve muscle mass (aim for 0.6–1g per pound of body weight). Adding healthy fats and complex carbs (e.g., avocados, nuts, whole grains) for balanced energy. Adjust Your Dosage (With Doctor's Approval) If your weight loss is too rapid or causing side effects, your doctor may: Pause dose increases or lower your dosage. Adjust your treatment plan to stabilise your weight loss. Strength Training & Exercise To prevent muscle loss: Incorporate resistance training at least two to three times per week. Stay active with low-impact exercises like walking or yoga. Hydrate & Manage Electrolytes Drink enough water (Mounjaro can reduce thirst). Electrolytes matter - Consider adding magnesium, sodium, and potassium if you feel weak or fatigued. Monitor for Malnutrition & Deficiencies Rapid weight loss can cause vitamin/mineral deficiencies (especially B12, iron, and electrolytes). If you experience: Fatigue, hair loss, or dizziness, ask your doctor about supplements. Consider Further Medical Guidance If your weight loss is excessive or causing health concerns, speak with your healthcare provider. They might adjust your dosage, diet, or exercise plan to help stabilise your weight loss. Meanwhile a fourth said: "You look stunning!"
