Feeling a bit lonely this valentine’s day!
No need to worry… Isn’t that what pets are for?
Have you ever wondered if your dog really loves you?!
Does he or she:
- Bring you their favourite squeaky toys, often covered in dirt and slobber? – This is a sign of affection.
- Lick your face frantically? – this is an easy one…. You are being kissed.
- Make eye contact with you? – Prolonged eye contact is a sign your dog feels safe and secure with you.
- Yawn when you do? Some people believe if a dog yawns after you do it is a sign of empathy.
Or how about your cat??
Does he or she:
- Bring you presents? – Whether it is a dead mouse or bird, this is their prized catch and they are giving it to you.
- Flashes their stomach at you? – Rolling onto their back is a vulnerable position; it can signify they feel safe and happy around you.
- Knead you or rub their head on you? – They leave their pheromones on you by massaging you with their paws and deposit their facial pheromones on you with each head rub. A very big sign of affection.
