Mulli Speaks

The news has broken this week the Michael Vick has a dog for a pet. His justification is that his children deserve a pet and can learn much from the experience of having a pet.

Mulli Speaks: Many families, not only in the United States, but all across the world grow up in a home withOUT a "Pet." In most cases these children grow up as healthy and well-adjusted as children who grow up in a home WITH a Pet.

A PET is not necessary for a child to grow up in a loving home.

No child is actually "missing" anything from their childhood experience if they do not happen to have a "Pet," as long as the parents are nurturing and attuned to the child.

In my Mulli-Opinion, it is a ridiculous justification and high risk for Michael Vick to have a "Pet," when he can provide many other experiences for his child(ren) that do not involve an animal.

Birthday Advice from Mulligan

As the Proprietor, Patent Holder, and Inventor of "Compression Therapy," i have decided that in honor of my birthday, it does deserve some review. In particular it has come to my attention that some may not understand that Compression Therapy is a Holistic Approach, encompassing both Physical AND Mental Health. In accordance to the Federal Mental Health Parity Law, I wish it to be known that Compression Therapy has ALWAYS been a Holistic approach, and provides as much Mental Health Benefit as it does Physical Benefit. i was always a dog ahead of my time.

The basic tenets of Compression Therapy.

1. The Dog lays upon his victim, er patient. If the dog is quite large, then the dog may choose to instead lay next to his patient. A quite small dog is perfectly adequate for providing Compression Therapy (the Therapy is non-discriminatory,) but in the case of small dogs, multiple small dogs may choose to apply themselves in a large pile.

2. The dog generates warmth from it's body. This warmth is naturally soothing, much like a large hot water bottle. The dog's own natural movements stimulate the movements amongst the blood, muscles and bones of the patient, promoting healing and comfort.

3. The dog emits large amounts of naturally humidified healing vapors, from the mouth and the bottom end. These serve to stimulate the breathing of the patient, clear out the nasal and sinus passages, and stimulate the lungs. Depending upon the physical complaint of the patient, the dog may choose whether to point the dog mouth or the dog hind end toward the patients head; depending on how much clearing of the patients lungs is needed.

4. As the patient suffers, I mean enjoys the pleasures of Compression Therapy, the patient will naturally begin to focus upon The Breath. The Breath is a basic tenet of meditation. The patient will either be focusing upon The Breath as they struggle to breath under the weigh of the dog, or the amount of naturally humidified vapors emitting forth from the dog. The patient may even choose to focus upon The Dog Breath. Dog's produce a large amount of Breath and are a perfect model of Meditation and Mental Well Being. The focus upon The Breath will center the patient in The Present Moment, clearing the patient's mind; allowing it to free itself for the moment from worries, pain, and useless thoughts.

I encourage practicing Compression Therapy whether the victim, I mean patient, is sick or healthy, for Compression Therapy is able to prevent illness as well as aid healing when illness is present.

Yum, Cake

I was pleased to have several cakes delivered to me, some made of traditional cake, and some MEATZ cake! Even though I can consume food exceedingly fast, I have fast taste-buds, as well. Yum, I tasted each and every cake, and every morsel as they slid down my giant ham tongue. "Burp," I love cake! And I didn't even get in trouble for stealing -- the cakes were all freely given, with no need to share or "look" like I felt guilty.
