Your dog wants a deep tissue massage.
Think about it.
Your dog is pretty low to the ground. Easier balance, safer around helicopters. Good with skateboards. You are a relative giant. Ever watch how dogs hold their heads up when people are around, just to see better? And mostly just to see YOU better? That’s a lot of work being done by their neck and shoulders.
Next time you’re down for some scratching, put some mustard into those shoulders. They’ve been holding up all that weight just for you, right? Help them out!
The science is not exhaustive, but studies are underway on two in-house and two neighbor dogs. Preliminary results suggest dogs really f**king love it, but a broader study with statistically relevant sample sizes is necessary. You can make a difference here for both your dog and science at large, simply by putting your phone down already and getting to it. You know they’re just waiting for you, what on earth are *you* waiting for? Go, go now!
Seriously, the news these days sucks anyways. Take a break.
Also your cat could probably use a deep tissue massage. Would probably help with the attitude. But start with the dog.

Dave didn't get the memo until, like, just now. He is capable with arranging words, but only just getting started at getting those words to actually do anything. He is motivated by a disrespect for authority, and towards finally doing what's right. He's good with people, but that's a learned skill- his natural inclination is to be far, far away. He's a Leo.
