We got a request: I have to old boy dogs that I worry about. My baby Bobo (Beauregard is his full name because he has a pretty face) is 17 1/2 years old and is a part chihuahua and part terrier. He does pretty good, but sometimes he stumbles and has a hard time moving around, and he sleeps a lot. I try to help him, but he’s always been pretty independant. I know he is old and I won’t have him too much longer. All I really want to make sure of is that he is not hurting and that if there is anything else I can do for him, what it is so I can do it.
During the Reiki session we directed the Reiki to all of muscles and his entire body. Bobo said, does Bobo look like a baby? Bobo is not. Bobo is not even as small as Teddy. Bobo is big big guy around here. Mom worries that Bobo is sleeping too much. Tell Mom or remind Mom about my age and she will understand why Bobo is so tired. We are all pretty content here. Bobo feels peaceful and well rested. Bobo has food, love, shelter and lots of napping places! Bobo is so relaxed Bobo sometimes forgets to wake up. Bobo does remember and Bobo stretches slowly and opens Bobo’s eyes slowly too. Then Bobo is awake and ready to face the new day, afternoon or night.
Then we heard back from Mom: She has two incredible fur babies. It is always an honor.
Oh that made me cry! Bobo always thinks he is a big boy. He’s always been very independent, always insisting that he “can do it” himself. He doesn’t like to be picked up, carried, or held too long because he is a big boy and can take care of himself. He’s let me hold him and carry him a bit more lately, but he still kicks and says “put me down, I can do it!!” So I try to let him do what he thinks he can. I know he is old. I love him so much. I am glad he is content and happy and fells relaxed. He does get confused sometimes and I have to remind him where he is, and he will try to do something and fall, but I will watch over him and rescue him when I need to. He was restless last nite, but woke up this morning bright eyed and alert. He was very talkative, especially since I was late with breakfast this morning! “Hurry up mom! I’M HUNGRY!” He’s sleeping on his ottoman in front of his window right now. And he’s moving around pretty well.
Platypus ( I love platypuses!!) is right. I know that all I have to do is believe in spirit and go where I feel I should and do what I know I should and all will be well.
Jaguar is also giving a good message for me right now. I am right at the edge of a transition to being and doing what I’ve wanted to for some time. I’ve been working hard to let go of old hurts and pains and focus on what works best for me. It’s working! I just need to keep to the course!
Thanks so much for all this. I am very happy and am glad my boys are happy and know they are loved.
