You are receiving this e-blast because you signed up for these e-blasts on FourLeg.com.  If for some reason, this makes you unhappy... then unsubscribe at the bottom.  But for everyone else... HEY!  Let's get on with the show!
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
And as we roll into Fall...
So the past couple of weeks have been awesome because I've seen tons of puppies!!!!  Man I love seeing the puppies.  I saw a litter of Weimaraners, a singleton cocker spaniel, and two Australian Shepherds!  I love my job!

I'm all set to roll out my September marketing special at the clinic.  This month we are giving away a FREE online course - It's my Preventing Canine Hip Dysplasia lectures.  I really think it's information that all dog owners should be aware of, so I'm super excited to make if available.

This upcoming week, my youngest son starts back to high school (on Sept 1).  He's in Grade 12!  Wow, time flies.  The oldest one will move back into the dorms at the University of Calgary next Sunday.  He'll be in his second year of Engineering - specializing in Civil Engineering.  Last year when he went off to university, I cried every day for 2 weeks.  This year, I think I'm ready for him to head out!  (Shhh... I'll deny I ever said that!)

And an interesting thing I learned about my dog-breeder/friend who's living in my basement.  She was taught how to do 'tequila shots' by Janis Joplin while at a bar in Calgary!  How many people can say that??!!!  Oh, and she bought a house and takes possession later in September.  I'm so happy that I could give her a place to crash while she (and her dogs) were between homes!

Okay, enough about me.  Now on to YOUR learning for this week!  But first...
Have you taken your dog out to 'read' lately?
 
Blog:  Canine Rehab - AGE Busters!!!
When searching for inspiration for today’s blog, I found an interesting physiotherapy blog. Physiotherapy helps you to age gracefully!  Now there’s a good spin! 

Aging gracefully is more than your looks.  It’s about overall health and the way we feel.  However, healthy people do tend to look younger even in old age!  So how can physiotherapy help?

ARE YOU LOOKING to include SHOCKWAVE in your practice?
I have just the thing!  I highly recommend the unit that I have and use at my clinic.  And now, I can bring it to you!  

Check out this page:  http://fourleg.com/Shockwave   for more information.

And if you're interested, give me a shout and I'll happily send along all of the details.  
RADIAL SHOCKWAVE rules!  I am loving it as an adjunct to my other therapies, and am seeing amazing results with it when used on osteoarthritis, tendinosis lesions, and lumbosacral disc disease.  (There are more things it can treat, but these three things keep it hopping at my clinic!)

The price is right (in Canadian Dollars), and I can ship anywhere in North America.  (For those of you overseas, I can put you in touch with local distributors nearer to you!)

Okay... so check it out if you've ever been interested!
Read More about this kick-butt Radial Shockwave Unit!
 
So have a great week everyone! 


Until next time... Cheers!

P.S. Helpful Hints for NEW members...
If you are new to FourLeg and happen to be having any issues with watching the videos, you will want to cut and paste the following url into your browser bar:
http://www.fourleg.com
Sometimes after people sign up on the secure page on FourLeg, their computer remembers the secure address for the website (https:), and takes them to the site via that prefix... but the rest of the pages aren't secured, only the sign up page... and if you go to watch the videos on the https:... site, then it won't allow you to watch them. So going to the http:// version will make everything turn out okay!!!

As members, If you are wanting to search a topic... then locate the white search bar in upper right hand side of the screen when you log in & are on the members' side of the site.  This is an easy way to find content in all formats!
