If you want a fun, interesting read, try The Walrus On My Table by Anthony Guglielmo & Cari Lynn. I bought this book this evening & read it in one sitting.
Guglielmo is a massage therapist who has worked on animals at the New York Aquarium, the Dolphin research Center in Florida, and the Jenkinson's Aquarium in New Jersey. He began as a massage therapist for humans only, but his practice branched out when a client's mother asked him to work on her horse. Since then, in addition to people, he has worked with horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, penguins, walruses, dolphins, beluga whales, and a sand-tiger shark.
It certainly made for interesting reading! I had known that massage is used on race horses and dogs & cats, but it was fascinating to hear that it could be used on marine animals, too!

Mona loves a good backrub after a hard day turning our lawn into a replica of Sarajevo. All that work is hard on the neck muscles

I read the topic title as "MESSAGE for walruses, dolphins, and sharks" and thought you were giving those critters a warning for when you dive, assuming those critters also have computers and read the RT.

My dog, Kiki, is absolutely in heaven when I give her a massage. Her little legs stretch out, her eyes close and she relaxes with what I could swear is a smile on her face. I would LOVE to be a doggie masseuse. My clientele and I would be totally stress-free!
