Ben-dog is seven years old with back and hip pain. He often feels and acts like a grumpy old man. On Monday night, I forgot that Ming was going to give Ben a Reiki treatment. I went to the pub and played darts. When I came home, someone had put a nickel in my dog! He was running around, chasing his sister, going up and down the stairs, and acting like his younger, nuttier self.

Leaming emailed me. How did Benny like his Reiki?

Oh! Well that explains the crazy black blur that just ran by. When I asked him about the Reiki treatment, he said that it felt really good. It felt warm and his back felt better. He just felt better all over. He then mentioned that we really needed to go hiking together, soon.

What struck me was that he looked better too. His eyes were bright. He looked like a younger dog.
