Wait wait

One of our favorite radio shows is on NPR. “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” airs on Saturdays and repeats on Sundays. It is a very funny show: witty, smart, sarcastic, ironic, and sometimes misguided. Last weekend we listened to two of the comics reference dog massage, suggesting that it was fluff and buff, and an extravagance of wealthy dog owners. While it was wonderful to have our industry recognized and significant enough to be the topic of discussion, the tone and perspective of the comments, from people who are not dog-people, reminds us that we still have a job to do. We need to educate the public about the benefits and the critical need for canine massage. For those of you who contacted us about the show, we can only say that the comics were doing the best they could given their karma and their life experiences. They were also straining to say something that might be humorous.
