After our initial greeting, I asked Tyde and Yuki if they would like to set an intention for their healing treatment. I heard them say they would like to feel peaceful and loved. As I was repeating the intention, I heard "And special." I couldn't stop smiling as I included that in our intention.
I started working on Tyde, the older of the two dogs. His brother, Yuki was laying on his bed, staring at us and whimpering. I explained to him that they were both going to get treatments, but Yuki continued to whine. I asked him if he would prefer that I switch back and forth every fifteen minutes and I got a "yes." At the agreed upon time, I scooted over to Yuki's bed and began giving him Reiki. He was very happy. Fifteen minutes later, I scooted back over to Tyde's bed to resume his Reiki treatment and Yuki began to whimper and whine again. I reminded him that I was going to keep alternating but that didn't seem to make him happy. Just then, Tyde struggled to his feet and moved over to the other side of his bed, which was closer to Yuki's bed. I realized he was moving over there so I could work on both of them at the same time. I thanked Tyde for coming up for a solution and he let me know he was happy to help.
As I sat there, with a hand on each one of them, they both fell asleep - they were so relaxed and at peace. Tyde started to snore and several times, Yuki let out a sigh of contentment. It was so precious, I felt compelled to take my hands off them for a moment to take a picture. As the treatment continued, they snuggled closer and closer to each other - ultimately ending up right up against each other.
It was so sweet to spend that time with them and I loved getting to witness how "siblings" often look out for each other and do whatever they can to make sure everyone is happy.
May you all feel as content as Tyde and Yuki as you celebrate the holidays. My wish is that you all feel as peaceful, loved and special as these sweet boys did yesterday.
