dogs are not only people to me… i like everything about them.
i usually like them better than i do people.
and yes, i’m working on that!
it was charlie brown that said… “i love mankind. it’s people i can’t stand.”
i am not as bad as charlie brown. unless it comes to people who are neglectful or abusive to animals. then i understand what charlie brown is saying.
i so admire the work you do.
i worked with second chance (a non-kill shelter here) in finding abused animals and documenting it and saving them.
found i just couldn’t do it anymore. it hurt too much. i couldn’t make it leave my mind. then i felt guilty.
thank god there are people who can do it and not stop.

I’ll have to look up triangle & down dog.

I got a free massage on a week ski tour in Colorado. She said I had tension in my neck. Got one in China because it was cheap. I thought massages were suppose to feel good. They didn’t until afterward.

bikehikebabe,

That’s great that you don’t need surgery!
What stretches do you do? Triangle pose and down dog are great for shoulders! And back bends too.
Do you ever get massages?

Yoga stretches & muscle strengthening help my shoulders. And good for anybody’s shoulders too. The MRI & CS show that surgery won’t help.

Bikehikeable,

Yes… though I could use more info. on the specifics. You see some injuries need other remedies.

Diane,
I’ve done yoga in the past for flexibility and centering. Do you think it would help bikehikebabe with her shoulder pain?

Bikehikebabe,

One area of study for the past 3 years has been yoga. I did a teacher training in 05 and it was inspired by a injury I have called tennis elbow. I had been to the doctor for the pain and was going to a massage therapist and acupuncturist. The pain pill was taken off the market a couple years later. I quit taking it something didn’t feel right about it to me. The pain was better didn’t need it but it was still a great bother to me. I started yoga and I got progressively stronger. I watched people heal their injuries that were told they had to live within a modified existence. Not to say some still have to somewhat still… but their quality of life greatly improved.

I miss having a dog our two passed way about 5 years ago. And I have been missing that part of my life. Though as time is a issue and I am often not home. I have a cat and she is a lover to all of us and so much easier on the time care factor.I spend time thinking of what dog we’ll enjoy next when the timing gets right. They just bring so much joy into a families life.

Thanks for caring for them.

Most of my time is spent on connecting with others right now with the focus on healing.

Robyn,
What a sweet story, and good for you for having her spayed! That’s one of the most important things organizations like ours do, have animals spayed and neutered…it’s the most effective way of reducing suffering. Thanks so much for coming by.
