Doggy quote of the month for October

“Animals live from their hearts more than from their heads. When they are rejected or abused and they don’t feel any love, that’s when they withdraw and close up. They may fear punishment, but it’s the absence of love that’s the worst thing in their life.”

Dr Bernie S Siegel, in his book Love, Animals and Miracles

Love me? Massage me!

In one week, I’ll be drawing the winners for my Love Me, Massage Me competition.  I’m on a mission to raise awareness of the benefits of dog massage for dogs of all ages and conditions.

Customers have been given a bandana for their dog and encouraged to submit photos of their dogs going about their stuff – regular activities and fun activities.

Here are a range of the photos that have been taken since the competition began in October.  As you can see, dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds – proving that all dogs can benefit from massage.

Listen to what your dog is telling you…”Love me?  Massage Me!”

Doggy quote of the month for August

“The charming relations I have had with a long succession of dogs results from their happy spontaneity.  Usually they are quick to discover that I can not see or hear.  Considerately they rise as I come near, so that I may not stumble.  It is not training but love which impels them to break the silence about me with the thud of a tail rippling against my chair, or gambols round the study, or news conveyed by expressive ear, nose, and paw.  Often I yearn to give them speech, their motions are so eloquent with things they can not say.  Truly, as companions, friends, equals in opportunities of self-expression, they unfold to me the dignity of creation, and in their joy smiles the blessing of St. Francis.”
