OUR STORY
Hi, My Name is Linda Hoffman and I am a Pet Massage
Practitioner. I got involved being a Pet Massage
Practitioner because of my own Fur Baby.
​
Our Story:
​
Tinker was abused and abandoned by his 1st family.
Oddly enough though two weeks before they abandoned
him (at the time I lived with my sister in a Mobile Home
Park), my sister and I was sitting on the patio talking.
Next thing I found was a shivering Fur Baby at my knees
begging me to hold him. I picked him up and unzipped
my jacket, stuck him inside and zipped my jacket up till
he was snuggled and warm and could still see his
surroundings. He stayed there inside my jacket and arms
until I finally had to get up to go into the house to get
ready to leave. I unzipped my jacket and asked my sister
if I could keep him because he was under nourished. She
said no he isn't ours to keep.
​
So . . . I put him down on the patio and he jumped up on
my knees whimpering and wanting me to pick him up and
hold him. I begged my sister to let me keep him and told
her it was obvious he wanted me. I was told no again. I
reluctantly told him bye and to visit again and walked on
into the house and got ready to leave. Moving forward . . .
​
Two weeks later I go out to leave and I see the little fur
baby walking around looking lost. I could not go see him,
I had an appointment to get to. I told myself if he was still
walking around looking lost when I got back I was going
to rescue this Fur Baby whether my sister liked it or not!!!
When I got back, sure enough he was still walking around
looking lost. I went and knocked on the neighbors door
and asked if she knew where this Fur Baby lived, she
replied she knew and that the people who moved out
abandoned him the night before when they took their
last load and moved out. So . . . I rescued Tinker! It will
be 2 years this April 2017 that Tinker and I have been
together as a family. My sister by the way, when she found
out that he was abandoned had no problem letting me
keep Tinker.
​
Tinker had many issues predominantly Separation Anxiety
Disorder. I called my friend in NY who is a dog trainer and
asked her how I could help Tinky. She knew of nothing for
the Anxiety, and her training was for obedience issues. I
searched the web looking for a way to help my fur baby
and this is when I found Pet Massage Therapy. I took the
certification class and then began working with Tinker.
Tinker responded very well to the Massage Treatments. My
sister would report back to me how he was when I would
leave the house. It took a few months of Massage Therapy,
but he finally quit crying and howling.
​
The Manager spoke to me about Tinker and how he was
abused. That's another long story, but, to keep it short and
to the point Massage Therapy has also helped Tinker in
this area as well.
​
Since I have experienced first hand how Pet Massage
Therapy helped my Fur Baby, I decided to start a Pet
Massage Therapy business so I can help other Fur Babies
and their owners overcome behavior and health issues.
Pet Massage Therapy is a lot like Human Massage Therapy.
There are many different massages and techniques to help
our Fur Babies.
