    The dogs played briefly, then separated. But when Bear-Bear approached again, Putzi said, the situation changed.

     

    "This dog was trying to get the dog down by the neck, the jaws of the husky were around the German shepherd's neck," the lawyer said. When the couple tried to intervene, the dog became aggressive toward them as well, Putzi said.

     

    When Rettaliata's brother did not take control of the husky, Putzi's client shot the dog, the attorney said.

     

    In responding to the officer's account, Rachel Rettaliata said, "If I were in his shoes, I probably would tell them the same thing."

     

    Her pet, also a rescue dog, has a history of being friendly, she said. Her brother told her that the dogs began to play roughly and that the off-duty officer asked him to call off the dog. But before he could move, the officer shot Bear-Bear, she said.

    I am entirely convinced of the efficacy of SFQ, but as you know, I am also a Chu Nei Kung practitioner and haven't yet taken the time to squeeze SFQ into my evening routine. My Nei Kung energy flow is awesome and my evening meditations are deeply satisfying, so I'm being pretty selfish, although it's my suspicion that our NK practice will accelerate the SFQ when the time comes.

    I think you're right. I did the practices back to back for a few days and the chi flow was excellent. However, that was a while ago and I can't remember which one I did first. I think it was Nei Kung followed by SFQ. Usually I do a set of dynamic breathing exercises before Nei Kung. They work well together.

    Chu nei kung is very specific; toes in, knees out, with most of the weight on the balls and outer ridges of the feet.

    Blasto,

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Master Chu suggests putting the weight on the heels and outer ridges of the feet.

    The importance of St 36

     

    "Mi Bing" is closely related to the idea of longevity and moxibustion on the acupuncture point St 36 (stomach 36: Zu San Li in Chinese, Ashi-no-san-ri in Japanese). A Japanese folk tale from the Edo era (1603-1867) about Farmer Manpei tells that when Manpei was asked whether he had any secret to maintaining long life, he answered that he had no secret other than burning moxa on St 36 every day, just as his ancestors had done. It is recorded that Manpei lived 243 years; his wife, Taku, lived 242 and their son, Mankichi, lived 196 years. In recent records, it is well known that Doctor Shimetaro Hara (deceased) used to burn moxa on his St 36 every day and he lived to be over 100 years of age.
