midwest dachsie fest survey

[isobelsmom]

http://dachsie.org/ubb/smilies/wavey.gif To all those who are attending the Midwest Dachsie Fest: (You may pass this on to others who do not have access to this board)http://dachsie.org/ubb/smilies/wavey.gif

Susan, my friend the human/animal massage therapist, is going to try to make it to the fest and will give a talk/demo on different ways to massage and improve your dachsie. What she needs to know is what ailments or problems your dachsie has. I will compile a list and she will try to touch on as many as she can.

Example: Isobel has flea/grass allergies;
dry, flaky skin; potential back problems; and is overweight (just a bit!).

Please list any you would like her to cover and either email me privately or on the board. She may also do a Bach Flowers Demo and I'm not sure what else.

Also, I'm thinking ahead to next year and the things I would like to see . . . and really need your input for that too. I'm thinking of a couple Dachsie-related items booths, perhaps a couple pro's to talk about massage therapy, and accupressure/accupuncture and maybe calming signals. How about a Dachsie maze? Photo ops? What else would you like to see? Or would you rather keep it small like this year's will be?

Please let me know regarding both questions and I look forward to reading your input! http://dachsie.org/ubb/smilies/ksmile.gif

Hi Mary,

Well I'm back till Monday and have been trying to catch up on all the posts.

Duck Butter & Masse both have a little tummy, but other than that they are fine. Of course, they both have had their back difficulties and are 100% fine now. Top Spin has no problems.

I better get back to catching up on the posts I've missed.

later,

Mark

My puppers are young, and so are both at a healthy weight and have no back troubles. What I would like to learn more about it supplements to promote back strength, flexibility and overall health for dachsies. I really would like to know the proper dosages and how often and when to begin reccommended supplements too.

Hi,

Found out from Susan one of the things she can go over is tummy-tightening exercises to strengthen dachsie back muscles. I'll talk to her about supplements.
