The holiday season makes me think of and fondly remember Kirby. \u00a0He was under care in my practice in West Liberty, Iowa. \u00a0Kirby was one of those individuals who brightened up the room and was such a pleasure to see that the whole day seemed to improve with the arrival of that enthusiastic, little fella. \u00a0Now you may be wondering why I referred to Kirby as a little fella. \u00a0Well, no special reason, it’s just that Kirby is a dog who sure loved getting his adjustments. \u00a0We checked Kirby once-a-month in my Iowa practice, adjusting him when he needed it.
\nActually it wasn\u2019t even legal because my Iowa chiropractic license did not provide for adjusting animals. \u00a0Never\ufefftheless, they need it and the moral imperative takes precedence over th\ufeffe regulatory stipulations. \u00a0No, I didn\u2019t build a practice for animals; I simply adjusted them after the office was closed on Wednesday evenings. Kirby paid for his adjustments by having Sue bring chocolate chip cookies \u2013 it\u2019s a special deal Kirby and I worked out together. \u00a0\u00a0There were a few occasions when Sue came to the office without Kirby.\u00a0 She would always tell me that on those days he would be very upset with her and behave indignantly for the rest of the evening.<\/p>\n

Somehow he just knew if she had been there without him. \u00a0Strange, isn\u2019t it? \u00a0He knew that he needed his adjustments and he loved his adjustments so much that I just loved him for it. \u00a0We left Iowa to move to South Carolina in 2002. \u00a0There are many fond memories that come from years of practice, and Kirby is high on the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
