Doggy Resort

Posted by Joy Butler Apr 12, 2006

The Chihuahuas went home Sunday. I'm missing them quite a lot, especially Buddy. Tilla and the puppy romped and played almost constantly but it was Buddy who followed me around and enjoyed sitting on my lap. One of those days when he was perched in my lap it occurred to me that, if his people were away enjoying the luxuries of a resort, then Buddy should too. Since I sometimes give my own dogs a light massage, I decided it would be a good idea for Buddy. Starting behind his ears, I worked slowly over the neck, shoulders, back, and legs until I felt his little muscles melting. The next thing I knew he was yawning, a sure sign of contentment. I finished the massage with a few long slow strokes from head to tail and then did the same for Tilla. She seemed to be touchy in the hindquarters so that was my clue to respect her wishes. The puppy couldn't stop romping long enough to enjoy the luxury of a doggy massage. I did enjoy the Chis this last week and the good thing is that they may be back for another visit come summer! If you're the type person who'd rather take your dog with you when you travel, I can recommend Travelling with Pets.
