thinking of bagel’s health, i found a great 49 minute video of a vet showing massaging techniques on dogs. she said if you do it once or twice a year it wouldn’t make a difference, but if you do it every night, you will see an improvement in the quality of life of your dog. i followed her instructions and i don’t think tonight’s session was effective, but i hope i’ll get better as time progresses lol. one interesting she mentioned was how dogs use their jaws so much on a daily basis that their jaw muscles often times get sore and need to be tended to as well. i never thought of that. makes sense though.
it kinda makes me feel bad knowing i had been ignoring taking care of bagel’s muscles all these years, but it feels good to know we’re beginning a new journey together.
