What's new?
Calving has started on the ranch. So, the guys are busy, and when I'm not I get to go drive around checking cows with hubby.
I had to let my adopted sheltie, Karma go last Friday. Oddly, it was 1 year exactly from when we lost her sister Xena. Maybe I'm more emotionally fragile these days, but it's hitting me hard.
Otherwise, I'm just struggling with 'keeping up'. Is it because I have too much on my plate? Because winter drags on so long in my part of Canada? Because Covid fatigue is settling in? Because every week is the same as the last? I don't know, but it is hard to feel inspired these days. I'm up for suggestions if you've got them!
I'll leave it at that for now!
So, that's it for the updates... On with the show!!

Today I was pontificating about whether there were any studies that looked at simple touch as a healing tool in companion animals. Placebo can account for up to 30% of any positive benefits seen in an interventional study. We believe this to be due to the influence of the mind and the belief that a treatment is
occurring. It is much harder to measure the transference of energy… from touch, from intention, from prayers, from sunlight, from fresh air, from music, from colour, from social connections, and so on.
So I went searching, and I found a study that I didn’t know existed. It doesn’t 100% answer my query above, but it is actually a ground breaking study in my estimation, because it is the first study that I have seen to actually study Massage Therapy interventions in dogs!

For over a year, I worked with Physiotec (an online exercise platform) to create a exercise prescription platform for canine rehab practitioners. And this is it!
I've put hundreds of exercises together onto this handy platform. You can find the exercises, print off a handout, send them a link to the VIDEOS of the exercises. There's so much: Massage, owner-friendly joint therapies, exercises, advisement, etc, etc!
NOW... be aware that this platform is run by / owned by Physiotec (and they charge separately for it's use)... and the support for the website is via physiotec as well. The MAIN GLITCH I am finding now... is that when you e-mail or call tech-support you will NEED to LET THEM KNOW that
your question pertains to FOURLEGEXERCISE! (Otherwise, it's a bit of a schmozzle to get sorted, because they direct you to the Physiotec website vs FourLegExercise website!!!) Check it out and LET ME KNOW (what you think, your experiences, etc... so that I can report back if there are issues!)
I hope you find it useful! Go there... Check it out!!!

Have a great week everyone!
