For anyone who ever asked,” how do you do acupuncture on a cat?”
Here is a good book on Chinese Medicine and acupuncture/acupressure for cats and dogs

Anytime you great stuck in the impossible, think of these guys who have ended up as friends. Perhaps the true meaning of peace comes from not seeing our differences but seeing that in the end we are all the same.
Here are some of the best beautiful photos of children with their animal friends I have ever seen. This is but one of the series. There is the link Bellflower.elfle. Enjoy!
Last night it looked like we would all be snowed in again, after getting another four inches, but luckily the rain came this morning. Here are the local Chill dogs enjoying the snow. Nicole from Chill is not only a human massage therapist but also does dog and cat massage.

So often our animals remind us how it is to be free to play and enjoy the world. Today while on vacation in Pacific Beach I saw a couple dogs running across the sand, their feet flying off the ground with every step. So happy, so in the moment. Barking wildly at their people to throw sticks, running against the wind, and having the time of their lives.
Today I also received some beautiful photos of Lucca and Sadie playing in the snow, in their element, jumping in the air, biting at the snow. How does it feel to be so happy and excited about life? Through our dogs we get to experience some of this, what greater gift. Laughing as we play and toss sticks or throw snow in the air. Laughing as we run after them in their joy which we are allowed to share in.
Here’s some more animals having fun out there and a woodpecker too!

We got another six inches of snow here in West Seattle last night. I’m not sure what the total on the ground is now. There are almost no cars out and the few people moving around are on foot. I thought it might be fun to post photos of dogs playing in the snow (or other creatures too) If you send me a photo of your animal in the snow I will add it to this post. Please send it to lena (at) pathwithpaws (dot) com . Jpeg format is the best. Enjoy!

A perfect place to view the snow. The colder it is outside the warmer the radiators are in here.
