About

I started Black Dog Massage in an effort to give something

back to the dogs, cats, and other animals who give so much to us.

My husband and I are blessed to live with five rescued/adopted

cats and one large, black, wonderful adopted dog. My practice

is dedicated to Cirrus, who came to us from a shelter in

Sacramento in October, 2001. Each day with him is a precious gift.

Cirrus has one brown eye and one blue and is named for the

cirrus clouds that are like the latter. I heard once that very

special souls possess two different colored eyes, and he

certainly is the most special.

Cirrus was left anonymously under night's darkness in a steel box,

the shelter's night-drop. He was in the 5^th or 6^th building full of dogs.

He was sick and far past his euthanasiadate but staff was too busy.

It was love at first site.

Many, many others are still awaiting homes.

When I took PetMassage™ training I thought – if nothing else –

if it helps Cirrus and the cats with increased mobility and

aging gracefully, then it will be worth it. It does help them

(Cirrus has become a massage mooch in fact), as well as the other

dogs and cats I have been fortunate enough to work with.

I trained under Jonathan Rutinger at the PetMassage™ Institute in Toledo, Ohio. I hold Reiki II certification as well as Divine Coding certification; both are gentle forms of moving energy to balance the body and emotions. I have also taken an animal communication workshop with Asia Voight in Madison, WI.

Massage is not a substitute for veterinary care.
