Acupressure Massage in the News!

To the tune of “The Poodle Dog Song,” by Layne Brooks, dozens of dogs (and miniature horses wearing their canine disguises) strutted their stuff during the 2nd annual Wag ‘n' Walk & Bark-B-Que Saturday at the Nevada County Fairgrounds.

The day was a canine fancier's dream, with dogs of all shapes and sizes in attendance, from a teddy bear teacup poodle named Minnie Me to Bouchee, a Newfoundland.

The event, sponsored by AnimalSave and Sidecar Scooter Angel Paws, featured vendors and activities for dogs and humans alike.

Attendees could talk with an animal communicator, watch obedience and agility demonstrations, enter their dogs in the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Program, and even arrange for their favorite pet's likeness to be painted on canvas or rock.

Paige and Molly, basset hounds accompanied by owners Sharon and Don Luddy of Grass Valley, spent time at the accupressure booth. Molly was in dog heaven while receiving a massage from Dennise Stackhouse, owner of Lucky Dog Acupressure and Massage.

“We have been looking for a couple of years for this kind of thing,” said Sharon Luddy. They hope to continue the acupressure treatments for Paige and Molly.
