Missing April Jones: Mother's Emotional AppealWith five-year-old April Jones missing for more than 36 hours, her mother makes a tearful plea for information.2:53pm UK, Wednesday 03 October 2012 Video: April's Mother Makes Tearful Appeal EmailThe mother of missing April Jones has made an emotional appeal for help in finding her daughter. Coral Jones, who was accompanied by her stepfather, April's step-grandfather, Dai Smith, sobbed as she said: "It's been 36 hours since April was taken from us. "There must be someone out there who knows where she is and can help the police find her. We are desperate for any news. "April is only five years old. Please, please, help find her." April Jones, Mark Bridger and his Land Rover Discovery After her plea, she broke down in tears, holding her head in her hands, and was comforted by Mr Smith as Detective Superintendent Reg Bevan made a further appeal for information. Police are now searching a vacant farmhouse two miles from Dyfi River. Detectives had earlier asked for information from anyone who saw 46-year-old Mark Bridger between Monday evening and when he was arrested in connection with the abduction on Tuesday afternoon. The search continues to centre on the Machynlleth area They also took the unusual step of issuing images of the suspect and his metallic blue Land Rover Discovery during the earlier, unscheduled news conference. Det Supt Bevan, of Dyfed Powys Police, said: "We are pursuing a number of lines of inquiry and Mark Bridger is one of them. "Do not assume somebody else has already contacted us with information. Even if you feel yours is trivial, it may be the vital piece that we are missing." He said more than 50 volunteers were helping mountain rescue teams in the search for April and that police had details of many more who were able to help. Efforts to find April continued throughout the night "We are extremely grateful for their help in this search and their support has been vital," Det Supt Bevan added. April was last seen playing on her bicycle with friends near her home in the Bryn Y Gog estate in Machynlleth, mid Wales, at around 7pm on Monday. Det Supt Bevan also used the previous appeal for witnesses who may have seen Bridger over the last two days - or his 4x4 vehicle, registration number L503 MEP. "We are in the process of piecing together his movements and that of the vehicle from around 5pm on Monday evening through to 3.30pm Tuesday afternoon when Mark Bridger was arrested," he said. Anyone with information relating to the case is asked to call Child Rescue Alert Line on 0300 2000 333.

Back to reality.

It's been one week today since i got back off my holidays.

I can't get used to being back off holiday even though i still get daily walks most of it is on lead instead of off lead running through forests or swimming in lakes, It's like walking around a concrete jungle.

The withdrawal symptoms have got that bad now that I've resorted to digging holes in the garden hoping they will fill up with water to resemble lakes and using the excavated soil to form mounds that look like mountains.

I've ended up going from this.

To this.

Where's the mountains and Lakes gone to.

There's no comparison.

I think i will have to have a word with the vet and see if they can prescribe a week or two in the Lakes by prescription on health grounds if i say I'm feeling a little depressed or my hip dysplasia is playing me up and i need some water to have a good swim in like this.

Well they do say hydrotherapy is good for the muscles or i could just get a job up there as a mountain search and rescue dog working for ( SARDA ) which of course means i would have to take my staff up with me firstly my Dad as my handler and Mum to make sure we're both well fed and to do the worrying when we're out on a job ( for those of you that haven't read the post properly that's not a bank job. )

I have over heard the staff talking and seen them looking on that thing they call the tinternet, google or whatever it's called, they did ask me what i wanted and i said i don't mind as long as there's water, i just hope i don't live to regret that statement  and i spoke to soon sometimes i don't think before speaking i they might take it the wrong way and put me in the bath, turn the hose pipe on me or buy me a paddling pool.

Wordless Wednesday. Sheba overlooking Lake Windermere.
