Have you ever HUGGED your pet?

[Syrinx]

I just did.

He did what I asked him to do -- more accurately, he didn't do what I asked him not to do -- and I gave him a hug. Or the closest thing to a hug that you can give a doggie.

Hell, he's my buddy and I'll hug him and I don't care what they say. ;)

1. Just a couple minutes ago, in fact

I often scoop up Lucy and give her kitty kisses. :loveya:

[Syrinx]

2. that's sweet!

We better not let Santorum know about it. ;)

[Skittles]

3. I grab my cat Clancy's head and kiss the top of it

routinely :) I think he tolerates it more than he likes it :o

[REP]

4. Frequently

Two of my cats are in the 20+ pound range, which make them easy to hug. The smaller ones get hugged, too ... but when it's a little cooler!

5. I used to do it

When my doggy was still alive. She was a small, cute, lovable pekingese and not the brightest bulb but she was the best doggy ever. I used to hug and kiss her a lot. Still miss the poor thing...

6. I hug Dommie and Sunday Girl.

Yogi acts uncomfortable with a hug, so I let him love on me instead like he likes it.

[NewWaveChick1981]

All the time.

I've hugged every dog and cat I've ever had. :)

[AirmensMom]

7. Well, now ...

why would I have a pet if I DIDN'T hug it? I hug all four of them all the time ... but not a the SAME time. Satchmo kitty will even put his front paws around my neck. :loveya:

Psssst ... I think more people are doing it than maybe will admit. ;)

8. Our cat, Tate, is the snugglebug of the the three

He likes to be picked up and held close to you on his back, while you scratch his head and body. We call it "The Love Scoop."

9. Have given multiple mega hugs to Seneca over the last couple of hours

It's been a rough night for the poor baby. Read my post about car leaking gas in the garage.

[Cannikin]

10. He's a Golden Retriever. How can you NOT hug him.

Of course, if you're wearing dark colors with no lint brush, I might think twice.

[xchrom]

11. yes! my poor old husky had to put up with the indignities

of being hugged, mugged and kissed.

nothing like a big dog for huggin on.

[meegbear]

12. Of course and one of my cats hugs me ...

purrs like mad while holding me tight.

He's a sweetheart ... when he's not acting like a shithead.

[Tyler Durden]

13. All seven of them (soon to be eight).

Not only do I hug them, but the 3 dogs hug BACK.

They wrap their front legs and paws around whatever part of you they can, and lick you to death.

Don't ALL people with companion dogs hug them? If not, why not?

[RebelOne]

14. I hug my Rottie all the time and she's not too happy about it.

She just groans as if to say, "Oh no, she's at it again."

[seemunkee]

15. Yes and she hugs back

She puts her little paws on our shoulders and gives us kisses.

[LynneSin]

16. I've hugged Abbott several times this morning

I wish I could give hugs to Evita but she doesn't like to be held or picked-up, but I did scratch her ears for about 5 minutes

[LostinVA]

22. Has she got any birds through the AC lately?

I think that's the FUNNIEST thing!

"Don't cry for me, little birdies!"

[femmocrat]

17. Not only do I hug them to pieces, I give them big smoochy kisses!

And they hug back! They don't kiss back, though.... unless I'm eating something they want! LOL

[MissMillie]

18. Yes, most recently yesterday, when I brought her home from hospital

she had been there since very early Friday morning.

[NoSheep]

19. Sure! Hugs and belly kisses and squeezes (not too hard!)

[calico1]

20. I not only hug my dog, but I kiss her too.

So does my fiance. We are so bad we sometimes kiss the dog before we kiss each other! :D I hug and kiss my cats too but sometimes they get really pissed off at me. They are more into head scratches on demand.

[LostinVA]

21. Yes, I hug my kitties -- and kiss and massage them, too

They also give me kisses when I ask.

[Phentex]

23. Of course I do!

Keeps 'em healthy!

[Dangerously Amused]

24. Well YEAH!!!

Every single day. Two of the kitties and the dog are affection junkies, they would love nothing better than to hug and kiss and cuddle and nuzzle and scratch and pet and knead all. day. long.

The other two kitties come around every so often to get an affection fix. Then they're off to parts unknown until they need a fix again. Which is usually a day or two.


:hi:

[Mutley]

25. Of course.

I hug my dog all the time.

[Arugula Latte]

26. I kiss and hug my kitties them constantly. Plus we do "nose rubbies"

and head butts and "squinties" and other kitty-love conveying communication techniques. And every day I have MBC, which stands for Morning Bunny Cuddle where I make sure I show the bun some affection.

Yes, I am insane. :D

27. That's like asking if Bush is an idiot. (nt)
