Bear with me – yesterday we were shooting for the Silver Harness Project, which is something I am working on with 2 Hounds Design. We photo the shelter pups as models for these amazing harnesses and two-clip leashes and 2 Hounds then donates the products to the participating shelters. I LOVE when businesses are so rescue-friendly!

Anyway, yesterday, when it came time to record the harness size and dog’s name, I learned this gorgeous little girl doesn’t yet have a name! Well then it became obvious what we needed to do: HOLD A CONTEST!

With the mounting medical bills Berkeley Animal Center has right now for several tough cases of abuse and neglect, we have a $1,000 naming goal for this sweet girl. Donate $5 (or more) between now and August 15 and include your best name suggestion with your remittance. Link is in the comments. 100% of the net will be donated to Berkeley Animal Center.

If we meet (or better still, exceed!) the fundraising goal, I'll have something special for whomever's name suggestion is selected!

ETA: If you are having a hard time accessing the link, know that it is likely because my main site is not a secure site BUT the page takes you to a secure site via Paypal. If you can push through to the link, you should be able to access. I was able to do it using Chrome. FB likes to add a bunch of unnecessaries to the URL, which probably sets off an alarm with some of the browsers. :/ Working on a rapid certificate on my site so do try again maybe tomorrow!

🐾🐾I am always amazed at how receptive dogs are to massage🐾🐾 This was Barnaby’s first massage a few weeks ago and he was totally relaxed within 5 minutes(maybe less). He is a younger dog and we were working on overall wellness and preventative care to reduce the risk of any back injuries(he’s part dachshund).

🐾✨🐾Had an amazing session with Miss Cruella Deville 🐾✨🐾We started with therapeutic massage and transitioned to Reiki and energy work. Although it was her first appointment with me, with the help of her paw-rent, she relaxed into the massage and readily accepted the healing energy of our session. Cruella had recent dental work that required anesthesia and a course of antibiotics, massage can help her body get rid of any excess medication and circulate fresh blood and lymph. Reiki will help her overall well-being and health by opening and remove energetic blockages and promoting her natural ability to heal.

🐾🐾It was BIG morning yesterday 🐾🐾 Started my day with Hank and Dexter, two awesome doggies who just soaked up all the benefits of their massages. I love working with all dogs big or small but these two boys were a lot of fun to work on and their big muscles should feel much better. Hopefully addressing and alleviating some of their age related musculoskeletal issues and bringing a reduction in the inflammation in their bodies.

🐾🐾Izaya gets it✨when I finish his massage he is always in complete Zen mode🐾🐾 Animals are highly intuitive and adept at helping themselves heal. Although I’ve only worked on him a few times Izaya completely relaxes into the massages, guides me to the areas needing the most work and allows me to really spend time working those muscle fibers. He absolutely knows how beneficial his sessions are to his body. When I followed up his owner said..’last night after his massage he was so playful. He’s been having trouble jumping up on the bed.When my husband told him to get on the bed, he jumped without hesitation. You’re work definitely helps him.’ 🐾🐾

🐾🐾Hydration is important💧, especially after a therapeutic massage🐾🐾Water stimulates and flushes the kidneys getting rid of accumulated toxins and free radicals that massage can help to release, it hydrates cells and facilitates blood oxygenation and can give the immune system a boost when it needs it. Keeping your dog well hydrated [pre] and [post] massage will also help reduce muscle soreness.
