My Mom and Dad love
me and DixieLee very, very much. We know that by lots of the things
they do for us. Things like giving us good food and lots of toys and
treats. They talk to us, pet us, give us tushie rubs and even give
us kisses but the one thing they don’t do is give us hugs.
Humans like to hug
one another. Human hug when they like someone very much. I don’t
like to be hugged because when a human hugs you, they make moving
away hard to do. In dog language, putting arms (or paws) around
someone, it is a sign of dominance. The one doing the hugging is
dominate over the one getting the hugs.
I love my Mom and
Dad very much. After all, they are members of my pack and pack
members love each other. Pack members also keep each other safe. DixieLee and I make sure Mom and Dad are always safe. We follow them
from room to room. If they go into a room and close the door, we
guard the door for them.
We make sure they
are safe when they sleep. DixieLee sleeps on the bed until Mom and
Dad are asleep and then we trade places. I guard from the bed and
DixieLee guards from the sofa in the living room. Sleeping is the
bestest way that I let Mom know I love her. I sleep on her feet or
stretch out and cuddle my whole body on hers.
Touching is the
bestest way to let humans know you love them. When we are out
walking and stop to talk with other people, I like to lean against
Dad’s leg. When Mom sits on the couch and she puts her feet on the
table, she makes a nice bridge to walk under. If I stop when walking
under her legs, she will rub my tushie or behind my ears.
One of DixieLee’s
favorite places to play fight is under Mom’s legs when she is
sitting at her computer. She thinks I can’t get her but I can. Mom laughs because our playing makes her chair roll across the room.
Playing shows love
too. We love to get our humans to play with us. I just have to
drop a ball at their feet and they will pick it throw it for me.
DixieLee likes to play tug of war. I don’t know how she does it
but she always manages to end a game of tug of war with Dad with a
belly rub.
We miss Mom and Dad
when they leave the house and make sure we give them a big welcome
when they come home. We know the sounds of their cars and wait at
the door for them. We make sure they get lots of wiggles and whines
and kisses every time.
Love is a big thing
and we have lots of it at our house. What do you do to let your
humans know you love them lots?
Your loving friend,
Zeva
