<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>Frazier stretches when getting out of bed, up off the floor, just </DIV>
<DIV>before snuggling or before, during & after a massage . . . </DIV>
<DIV>basically whenever he feels the need. It's so funny (& somewhat </DIV>
<DIV>satisfying, like I can feel it too) to watch him do it, he will just </DIV>
<DIV>stop in the middle of walking across the room and stretch it out. </DIV>
<DIV>And yes it is usually accompanied by moaning & groaning and </DIV>
<DIV>finished up with a wagging tail. Like he is saying . . . Ooo, that </DIV>
<DIV>felt good. Usually, I look down at him & say . . . Ooo, stretch it </DIV>
<DIV>big boy. I think that's why it finishing off with the tail wag, just </DIV>
<DIV>for me. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Of course he does it automatically when I give him a massage. </DIV>
<DIV>He really goes to town when I massage his spine, I call it the </DIV>
<DIV>"Spinal Tap". All I have to say is "Ready for a spinal tap?" and </DIV>
<DIV>he gets all excited. Wherever he is, he starts getting into the </DIV>
<DIV>position while looking at me with a smile from the corner of his </DIV>
<DIV>eye. I can just hear him saying . . . Just a minute, OK I'm </DIV>
<DIV>ready now. </DIV>
