Every morning I get up, my dog gets up with me. I typically wake with an urge to use the toilet first thing in the morning (very regular in that way), and my dog joins me in the bathroom for butt scritches while I poop. Sometimes my dog needs to do a big long stretch in the morning. When he does that, does he do that next to the bed? No. Does he do that while I'm sitting on the toilet scritching his butt? No. 100% of the time, he stops to do it right in front of me on my into the bathroom, bringing me to a halt, and blocking the entire bathroom door and my access to the toilet with my body in full "time to poop" mode. I and my bowels do not enjoy these stretches. We are excited by them only in a negative, "move your ass, I gotta poop" kind of way.

“Oooooo biiiig stretch!” I can’t not acknowledge it this way. And the word big lasts as long as the stretch, obvs.

Bonus if they also let a fart rip during their stretch.

Even better if the fart surprises them and they go investigate.

I make a fart noise when one of my dogs is stretching and without fail he smells his butt to make sure he didn’t fart

I mean. I’m more up for when they plow into your lap because you opened a bag and they’re thinking it’s for them.

Is the tail the literal point?

If you don't say "oooooooo big stretch!" do you even love your pet?

Does that kind of person even exist in society?

Does or should?

That is a markedly US tradition as far as I can tell.

People in countries outside the US don't get excited when their dogs stretch?

In general, no. Getting excited when your dog is excited seems much closer to universal.

I saw this ten seconds after going "Awwww, good stretch!" to my big dog as he climbed down out of a chair into an extended stretch before moving on.

Dogs feel the same when we enter the house
