✨️July 6th, 2024✨️

🐾Levon and I competed at Total Recall in Hugo in Novice A Obedience and Rally Intermediate. 🐾

💜After our Novice run, the COOLEST thing happened... the judge (Phil) asked if he could speak to me. I was nervous that I did something wrong, but he said that we had "one of the BEST NOVICE A RUNS HE HAS EVER SEEN" .. !!!!! 😳💜🎉 He's said he liked how I took my time and didn't rush Levon. He also liked my footwork and said he could tell that we had been practicing.

✨️That conversation meant the world to me! 🥹 Levon is my first competion dog of ANY KIND, and obedience is hard!!

💜I'm so happy that Sarah was able to capture this special moment for me 💜

(And of course Levon LOVED the attention from Phil 😉💜)

2nd leg of Novice A, 194/200, 1st place
1st leg Rally Intermediate, 100/100, 1st place

Levon ran in the sweltering heat 🥵 and on and off rain 🌧! (Not his favorite day, by any means 🫠)

He did get 2 more qualifying runs toward his BCAT title, with the fastest time that day at 22.78 miles per hour!

Thank you Cambridge MN Kennel Club!! Cambridge Minnesota Kennel Club

🐾Who is showing at Land 'O'Lakes Dog show in St. Paul, MN next weekend?!?!?🐾

Please comment below the day(s) you're going!

I'm not sure when I'm going, but I hope to cheer as many of you on in the ring as I can!! 🎉🎉

***For those who have never been to a dog show, this is a good one to go watch! ***

***Dog show etiquette *** Please do not ask people about their dog/dog breed until they are out and done in the ring. It takes mental preparation before you go in and a lot of people get nervous. 😊

Merry Christmas!🎄Love,Victoria and Levon

So, what’s the big deal about food? Why does it have such a huge influence on a body’s health? Well, simply put, food is body-fuel. It nourishes each and every cell in the body and creates the energy necessary for life to happen. It’s an overly simplified analogy, but food is to living beings ...

Animal Massage and Bodywork

Hi everyone!

My name is Victoria and I am an Animal Massage Therapist and Bodyworker. I run my own small business called The Balanced Orchid. I have been a human massage therapist for 15 years and animal massage therapist for 7. I specialize in chronic pain and injuries, with a focus in structural misalignments. I graduated with an AAS Degree (focusing on Massage Therapy, Kinesiology, and Biomechanics) from Minnesota School of Business in 2009. I also have been a member of the IAAMB (International Association of Animal Massage and Bodywork) since 2018. Recently, I retired from human massage so I can focus primarily on animal clients, and I love every minute of it!

Even though I’ve been a massage therapist for many years, I have been working with animals just as long. Whether working at the Animal Humane Society, a boarding facility, a vet clinic, or volunteering with various rescue groups in the Twin Cities, animals have always been a part of my life. Since 2010, I have helped as a Vet Assistant for Dr. Jessica Levy of Holistic Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Levy has been amazing mentor by helping study and understand various ailments in the animal world. In my free time, I’m training my 1.5 year old Aussie, Levon, with Tiffany of AQK9, or enjoying a nice glass of red wine.

I love what I do and I’m so happy to go to work everyday! I feel that all the knowledge I’ve gained over the years working with humans, and continuing to work with Dr. Levy, can only help benefit your pet from whatever is ailing them. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about me and I look forward to working with you and your loved one!
