When you are studying then the next slides on the presentation show this...........

This photo was taken a few years ago now but boy did Mak teach me things from being my study buddy for massage through to pain management, oncology & nutrition, it truly was an honour & a blessing having him in my life & to be his Mom....

He may not be here in the physical anymore but this was the sign I needed to keep pushing forward!!! I've got this!! ❤🐶

At Macoby I do like to support local dog shows especially when raising funds for charity ❤🐶
I am sponsoring the scurry competition for this one & finally got around to sending out some prizes 🙂

Now back to writing some vet reports & finishing a few bits of admin after my visits this morning!

Amazing day, tired but happy 🐶❤

Today I was Ellerdine Village Hall for their health & wellness event then off to meet the beautiful Fig, a newbie to Macoby this afternoon......

Fig is a cross JRT with angular limb deformity affecting her forelimbs & also a deformity affecting her left hindlimb....not that you would know by the way this girl moves!! As expected she has areas of tightness especially her back as well as areas of over compensation.

Fig took to massage so well & really enjoyed me working on her superficial & deep pectorals, such a gorgeous girl ❤

18/03/2026

I will be at this event promoting & discussing all things canine massage/rehab ❤🐶

Ellerdine Village Hall Saturday 28th March 10am-1pm see you there!!

Belated Happy Mothers Day to you all ❤

However you spent your day I hope you had good one & maybe a little gift or two?!

Lola ❤
Meet Newbie to Macoby Lola, this lovely girl has recently been diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia

Her owners are keen to find ways to support her so this week Lola had her first massage to start to address any tight/sore areas, address areas of over compensation as well as enabling her to relax a little as this girl is very active!
In conjunction with this Lola will have an exercise plan to work through which will hopefully improve her core strength, encourage even weight bearing & help to lengthen some tight muscles 🙂

March is Pet Anxiety Awareness month

Love this infographic from Pet Remedy about the stress bucket analogy so had to share.......... 🐶
Where's your dog on the scale? Relaxed, stimulated & coping, overstimulated or bucket full?

March is Pet Anxiety Awareness Month.
Is your pet's STRESS BUCKET FULL?
Pet Remedy is like a TAP for draining pet anxiety!
(Click on the bucket, to see a larger image)
It is clinically proven and gets to work instantly.

Awareness of human anxiety is improving - Let’s do better for all our pets – our cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents, horses, parrots...etc,etc!
