Farewell to my best canine friend.
Last night I was very restless and had trouble sleeping. I tossed and turned and eventually fell asleep but only to be awaken by Princess Tamiko jumping off the bed as she followed Uma towards the bathroom as she normally does but before she got close to Uma, she collapsed and began to yelp and scream in pain and discomfort. I lept out of bed immediately and came to her assistance. I put my hands on her body to bring healing energy to ease her pain and bring greater balance as we often do. Within a short time, she regained her composure and was free of the pain but somewhat short of breath. She was panting heavily and so I picked her up and brought her to the bed.
