As I set off on my journey wednesday, so too did my grandparent's sweet mexican chihuahua ChiChi set off on her journey to join my grandma May and grandpa Joe in paradise. She was perhaps 18 years old, always well fed and always ready to be more well fed, the best guard dog imaginable, never complained, and passed peacefully in her hometown cornwall-on-hudson. She was a great joy in our household, she loved when i came to visit - perhaps towards the end it was all of the massage and shiatsu techniques I used to help her 'upper-cross syndrome' and 'depleting jing'. Over the past few months when she developed extreme edema in her abdomen and legs, I was able to help her and even had dreams about which accupressure points and methods to use for her. and, I had a feeling she might pass right after my graduation from school and as i left. it was similar with my grandmother's passing, the night before i was about to leave for a trip abroad. so, ChiChi joins me on my journey also, and she is in for a lot of good food here too!
as I looked up the spelling for chihuahua, I realize in chinese it could be translated as "life energy, flower, flower", how lovely!
