I have been working with animals for over 25 years, primarily as a massage practitioner. I teach animal massage for petowners, horseowners and for people considering a careeer in animal massage.
Tell us about your pets
Gorilla is an 11yr. old male JRT who is my divine bodhisattva.
Shanny is a 9yr. old JRT/Rat Terrier mix who was a rescue dog and is an inspiration to live joyfully in the moment.
Darci is my stepdog...she is a Karelian Bear Dog who my partner rescued, we think she is 6 and if she weren't black and white, she would be a blonde!
How did you find us?
Rubi Sullivan of Heal NW told us about it and since we all think she is the best thing since sliced bread...we had to check it out. Thanks Rubi!
I agree to abide by pdxdog guidelines, terms and policies.
The store is called Paws Cafe. It is in Redmond and just celebrated it's grand opening last weekend. I am not sure if they have a website but the owner's name is Sharon.
You have probably taken one of Rubi's massage classes for owners. If not you should! Naaki and Kota will thank you!
Hi Lola,
Thanks for adding us as your friends!
I am excited to hear about about another biz like mine in Seattle! My hope is 'human' foods become the standard for dogs! Do you know the name of the company? I'd love to check out their site (assuming they have one).
Your dogs are so beautiful! I love the pic of Gorilla getting his massage... we should all be so lucky!
Cherish, Naaki, and Kota
