I was volunteering at a booth to help raise money for the Gloucester MA dog park and a reported / photographer came by. The first woman came up to me with her terrier and said he does not like men, is impossible to calm down but is a very lovely dog. As is my custom I said "let's see how it goes". After connecting with the dog for just a few minutes, he leaned in against me settled down and gave me a lovely kiss. The woman owner was very surprised. I then proceed to do a gentle massage explaining to the owner what I was doing and what she might try at home. The reported got inspired took lots of photos and decided that dog massage would be her story. The next person who came was a woman who had a mini-dachshund named Pricess Aurora (go figure). She said that Aurora was not in a good mood that day. I invied her to sit on my little cushion with Auroa and that I would do my best. Aurora was immediately receptive. I asked her what part of Aurora is most difficult for her to touch. She immediately said that Aurora won't let her touch her toes. I asked how it goes when cutting her nails and she made a wincing expression. I showed her a technique for the toes and Aurora had each toe on all four feet individually massage, top and bottom, including the webbing between the toes. The reported took the photos and wrote the article which is included in the PRESS link on my website www.skillfulhandsdogmassage.com
