Had I known about Tiki the giraffe when I was in the Bay Area last month, I would have gone for a visit.  Apparently Tiki has arthritis, which the zookeepers are treating successfully with massage and acupuncture.  (Of course the pedicures help as well!)  The acupuncturist uses the same needles I do - the ones for humans!  Even though Tiki weighs 1,500 pounds, she feels the Qi and gets the benefit.  After five baby giraffes and a life of service to the Oakland Zoo, she deserves to be pampered.
