She makes sure al the puppies are touched regularly after they are born and even has her grandchildren sit down and play with them and hold them to get them used to children. I think touch can go such a long way with both people and animals. (BTW – I don’t mind hugs, but a body massage creeps me out too!)

Scientists are always talking about the power of touch. They even make artificial hugging machines for those who are isolated, the benefits we get from a hug are that important. I am not a big fan of touching strangers myself. And I prefer to sleep on my own side of the bed. While I love cuddling with my dog, there is a time and a place for it. Maybe I need to work on this as well.
