It was clear she had struggled. She had lost four pounds and had several wounds, suggesting she had fought with another animal, possibly a raccoon. There were punctures on her hindquarters and neck.

Our vet made an exception and saw her immediately. She was given antibiotics, electrolytes, and pain medication. Radiology showed no broken bones or internal organ damage. Other findings were consistent with bite wounds and expected to heal over time.

She accepted care right away, including from our dog Max, who was curious but seemed to understand she had been traumatized. Familiar items accompanied her as she began her rest and recovery.

She loves the sun, cuddling, and tummy rubs, and she has spent much of her time basking on our deck, which has been reinforced for her safety. All bodily functions are normal, a good sign of recovery.

The "Little known" pose targeted my old shoulder injury so well.  Peace of mind is what I needed this morning and this Elixir quenched that need.  The sutra end read by you is always the icing on the cake.  Following you allows me the pause I need to go deeper.  I thank you daily for that...

She slept through the night and woke up hungry which helped giving her pills, but she will be sedated this morning so no more food.  She went outside and did her thing which is a good sign.  She has some injuries from an animal attack so that is the concern now, but she seems alert and getting acquainted with her new digs.  An aid at the vet said "She's not just Princess anymore, she is the Warrior Princess!!!"

17 days looking for a newly adopted dog that ran off on one day. Princess was found today. She has been to the vet with more tests tomorrow. For now probably the best sleep she has had for sometime

I like these little ditties when something quick is needed.  I think you mentioned something about "putting you legs together" to then start puppy and I found this a slight benefit from my normal stance.  Found some super tightness in on thigh I suppose from yard work.  Funny how quick we can tighten up.  Tagged a Favorite short so I can find it quickly next time.

Loved the pace of this one and the options throughout.  Afterwards I open the sutras and found Sutra 80 and felt the urge to share.

That space is bad.

This space is good.

The ride is rough,

Or the going is smooth.

We are thrown into suffering,

We are thrown into joy.

Beloved Soul Mate

Find the space in the center,

The pulsing spaciousness

Encompassing all opposites.

Here the essences of creation are at play:

Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space,

And the senses that perceive them.

The center is the dancing ground.

Did this one after an early morning checking the humane traps I've set for a missing pup.  Day 11 now although there was a sighting on day 9. Real see-saw of emotions.  Through all of this yin has helped ground me.  This practice helped my mind detach.

Everything was perfect.  A troubling time of late, but I continued my daily yin and it helped so much, physically and emotionally.  Windshield with arms raised, really great for the core.  Each move was one I wanted to remember, but drifted into just "being" with them.
