That’s actually a tough question. Frankie loves hugs, cuddles and kisses, Beryl does too in her own Princess way. I rarely sing to them. Bathing them doesn’t give any of us pleasure as it makes my back ache. Most of the photos I take of them are candid so they don’t have to pose. Blogging about them does give me pleasure but somehow I don’t think they read my blog. Taking Beryl to have her toenails trimmed gives me pleasure as I get to catch up with friends at the same time. While she doesn’t enjoy the actual act of toenail trimming she gets to be fussed over so she doesn’t actually hate that experience. I can’t really think of anything major that I enjoy and they don’t …. oh foster dogs, Beryl would definitely prefer I didn’t enjoy having foster dogs, lol! Her tolerance level is rising with each one though 🙂

Giving the occasional bath is probably at the top of the list! lol They see no point in that whatsoever!

I have to say, despite what people say about the subject, Meadow LOVES being kissed, held, cuddled, snuggled, and loved on. She just leans into you, and if you stop, she paws you for more affection. That is, as long as it is me or Nick doing it. If a stranger tried to kiss her or something, she’d just shrink and possibly die.

Toby doesn’t seem to mind them either, but Leah’s eyes roll into her head until the whites show and she just barely tolerates them. I try not to kiss her because of it, but as a dog owner, you know, you just have to some times.

Oh my list is long and though he may not get it, I sure do —- my affection for shopping for him for extra toys, leashes, and clothes 😉

I tell them I love them, to have a good day, and good night.

I make them dance with me, holding their front paws.

Many other things that most people would consider me a lunatic for. : )

Kisses! I kiss all 3 on their snouts morning, noon, and night. I don’t think they love it, but they all sweetly tolerate it. 🙂

Sorry Pamela, I’m going to have to disagree with you. I think anything you do or don’t is part of the relationship with your dog. I always laugh at my husband when he sings lullabies at night, but I’ve seen their faces and they love it. He’s been singing to them since we got them or were born. Blaze always comes to me for kisses on her forehead, it is her reassurance. Who says dogs don’t like hugs?? They will take a deep affectionate hug, just ask Chance, who can’t get enough of them. I think it’s too mutual of a thing when you’re both in tune with each other.

Mom jabbers at us a lot. We have no clue why, but we are used to the “noise”, so we actually enjoy it…kind of like a radio, only Mom’s voice 😉 She does show up with my brush a bit too often which I don’t like.

Hurley’s not a big fan of the hug. He gets one every morning though!

Funny! I love making up doggy songs, smelling doggy feet, kissing, and talking too. Pierson’s song is “Mr FluffyButt” to the tune of “SpongeBob SquarePants”, or the “Soft Kitty” song changed to “Happy Boy” with lyrics “purr, purr, purr” changed to “fur, fur, fur”. I don’t do the bandana thing with Maya & Pierson. That was Sephi’s style and Maya & PIerson can’t pull it off the way she did.
