    If I tried this, my dog would give me her "Eff off" face. Displayed here. It's out of focus but you can feel the anger clear as day. #massagetherapy

    A massage might be nice, but what your dog really wants is a belly rub! #massagetherapy

    I started playing this, and quickly paused to tell my partner something, only to hear "Jean Ballner" as "raging boner." I'm so excited to re-watch this movie correctly, now. #massagetherapy

    Most importantly, why was the Golden Retriever never introduced by name? What, she's just a pretty face???

    And: Woofty. She is something special. My first response was "Hey lady, I think these dogs might be responding to straight attention rather than your awesome petting, um I mean, massage techniques. Henry Wrinkler looks like he'd be down for anything." BUT, then the cynic in me dissolved when I realized that without this video, I would have had no idea how much my dog wants me to serenade him with a personalized song to the tune of Amazing Grace. Thank you, crazy dog massager! #massagetherapy

    @OneBigPear: My cat is working on his human massage licence. He seems to be concentrating on the facial muscles this week by sitting on my head. I'm not sure about the new aromatherapy scent he is using. Oil of anal seems so last year. #massagetherapy

    @Pookah: Hahaha--love the oil of anal comment. Eu de Tooth Decay and Dead Rat is my feline friend's signature scent- it's a classic, so he doesn't have to worry about trends.

    As for his mad skilz as a massage therapist, well, he definitely has the "kneading your chest while gazing seductively into your eyes until you're so creeped out you toss him off your lap." technique down pat. He also seems to think backing into you with his tail up is therapeutic for his humans. He's very dedicated to his craft, actually, but given his limited repertoire, I don't see him practicing professionally.

    Also, if I were photogenic, I could totally end up on YouTube like this woman. I'm just as nutty about dogs. It pains me to admit this, but it's true.

    @Kivrin: But you would also need a magic black shirt that never shows the dog hair!

    Why does it pain you to admit that you are a dog nut? I am an animal nut and people may think I am a bit batty when it comes to animals but that's okay, I find sports nuts a bit odd too. #massagetherapy

    @Pookah: Mostly the singing. I totally make up songs and sing them to my dog. I was fine with it 'til now, but seeing someone else doing it…now I'm ashamed.

    Maybe the key is to keep it private and never, ever make a video about it. ;) #massagetherapy

    Confession: I recently started massaging my 14 year-old dog's arthritic legs and hips. She leans into it and arches her back, stretches her back legs while I rub 'em, then walks away when she's had enough. #massagetherapy

    @Kivrin: There IS legitimate canine massage therapy, as well as canine acupuncture that I've seen do wonders for pets with arthritis, joint problems and chronic pain and anything you're doing to help eleviate your buddy's discomfort is awesome. BUT.. this lady is showing us how to pet a dog at various speeds. This is not exactly the same as therapeutic massage. #massagetherapy

    everythingisterrible.com is the best. This lady is...creative? Well, she's good-humored, at least! The original ''Your Cat Wants a Massage'' video was on Everything Is Terrible, and the host found out, emailed them telling how funny she thought it was, and actually sent the copy of her Dog Massage video for their editing use. So great! #massagetherapy

    I have to defend Conan's honor. He doesn't seem like a scaredy cat at all. Sure, he's scared, but does he hide under a couch? No, he does not. He returns again and again to confront the teddy bear. I take my hat off to Conan!
