Chichi is a 15, soon to be 16, year old American bred large breed dog. He was rescued as a puppy by his human, Jill. Chichi has always lived in the same neighborhood and is loved by all. He has taken daily walks and runs through the neighborhood with and without his human. Chichi has a very wise, loving energy. Chichi's humans, Jill and Tim, are massage therapists. Recently Chichi has had difficulty walking. He is out of balance in his lower back, hips and legs. After just one foot reflexology session some neighborhood people noticed an improvement in Chichi's energy level. He continued with gradual improvement in his walking and balance for about two months.
    Grapevine, Texas had a three day period ( Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) of rain during which Chichi was not taking his walks. On Monday May the 3rd 2004 I went to do Chichi's reflexology session. At that point Chichi was unable to walk and had been down for about a day and a half. In doing his foot reflexology session there seemed to be no energy flow in his back legs. They were flaccid and not moving. My stated intent at that point was to assist him in opening his energy lines and give him whatever he needed, using a loving energy. His human, Jill, reported that after about three hours she helped Chichi up and he walked up the street to my house (two houses away) and was able to take care of his elimination himself while standing.
    Today Sunday, May 23rd 2004 Chichi seems to have increased energy and improved balance, and continues to take his daily walks through the neighborhood. Jill is in the process of taking over his reflexology sessions.

In September of 2005 at the age of 17 Chichi died. He had a long wonderful life with a human who loved him and cared for him. Chichi is remember and missed by many in the neighbor where he lived.
