The Aetherial Living Blog has been quiet this week because I've begun work on my next big project: The 2nd annual New Canaan Dog Days of Summer. While I truly love my job, I confess that this event last year was the most fun I've ever had in my life. I love animals, and animals always love the massage therapist in the room. So to feed my need for furry friendship, I'm co-chairing the event this year with Village Critter Outfitter, and I am absolutely over-the-moon excited! Mark your calendars for August 29th, 10-4. The party will be on East Cherry Street, from Main Street to Burtis. Follow Dog Days on Twitter, and join the fun on Facebook.
It'll be a blast for everyone, and the final hooray to celebrate the end of summer. We're planning all kinds of fun activities for parents, kids, and especially our four-legged best friends: contests, raffle prizes, food, agility exercises, pet care supplies, and plenty of things to entertain the whole family. This event is free to the public. Net proceeds will benefit numerous animal charities in and around New Canaan.
Aetheria Spa will be on site of course to pamper your pet with canine massages. Though we don't offer treatments for your pooch every day at our facilities, we firmly believe that your pet should be pampered just as you should pamper yourself.
If you are a frequent spa-goer, you're well aware of the benefits of a day at the spa. The soothing and healing therapies, however, can be equally beneficial for your pet. Not that the touch of your hand isn't enough, but your four-legged friend would be equally grateful for some professional TLC. When it comes to unwinding and relaxing, you may think your pet doesn't know the difference between the living room rug and the massage mat at your local pet spa, but you'd be wrong. Just like the relaxed daze that you fall into during your spa treatments, it doesn't take long for your pet to warm up to the idea of a spa. Often pet spas begin their sessions with a consult or thirty-minute massage to decide which route of treatment is best. This allows the therapist to become aware of tense or injured areas your pet may be suffering from and what they can do to help.
Treatments vary from bath and grooming to ear cleaning and nail trimming, and of course, massage. While it may seem extravagant to take your pet to the spa, there are a myriad of benefits to be had from a visit. Muscle strength and endurance can be improved, while massage has been shown to help alleviate the aches and pains of hip dysplasia, arthritis and old age.
We look forward to seeing you on August 29th!

That is undoubtedly the most beautiful dog I've ever seen in my life. Ever. He's like the supermodel of dogs.
Looking forward to this year's event!
