Outward Hound Star Spinner Dog Puzzle

Outward Hound Star Spinner Dog Puzzle

I have three dogs. They have all been rescued from Romania where the conditions in which they lived were harsh.

Why do dogs stretch and shake when they wake up?

I imagine that like myself, most people tend to start their day with a morning stretch. You roll out of bed, or in my case crawl, and lift your arms above your head, arch your back and push your tummy out, letting out either a yawn or some sort of indistinct murmur.
