[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 236546, member: 2459"] Oh yeah.....my dog LOVED getting his hips and upper rear legs rubbed. I started doing it for him when he was younger and would sleep all hinky. When he woke up he would have one leg that was asleep and would take a few steps then shake that one leg until I rubbed it. It go to the point that when he woke up like that, he would just head straight for me to get his rub. As he got older though, he liked it for his arthritis. On him, I would rub the widest part of he rear legs with an up and down motion using the whole hand and somewhat up over his back/hips. If he was lying down and I did one leg at a time he would stretch that leg waaaaay out (like a good morning stretch) and just close his eyes and enjoy it. Unless it hurt him for some reason, he would stand there and let you do it as long as you were willing to rub. I hope everything works out for him and you. There towards the end, mine couldn't walk and sometimes I think the humiliation got to him more than the pain. The spirit was still willing...his body couldn't keep up. [/QUOTE]
