Hugs

[Doctor Amadeus]

When was the last time you had a hug?

I do not mean sexually.

I mean just a hug a real hug not a half hearted hug a real hug. The kind of hug that made you feel better?

When was the last time you hugged someone you love. I mean that one person that makes life worth living and means a lot to you?

2 or so Weeks ago. One of my Friends enjoys hugging me and she was around for the Weekend. Feelsgoodman.

I met someone I've been fighting with on the internet. I expected a fight but got a hug instead.

Can't recall. Probably over a decade ago.

Maybe last Friday. Felt a bit more like a half hug. Didn't make be feel better. Previous to that, I know who it was with but not sure when it was, I know it was within the past two weeks. Was decent but short. A bunch of half hugs from a few. My hugs seem to be spurty, but I definitely feel my empathy levels drop severely with lack of hugs.

Last night was Mid Autumn Festival, traditionally one of the romantic holidays, and we had a good night of it. That meant my day started with extra hugs.

Mother's Day probably.

I would never pin myself down and rely on someone else to make my life worth living. So.. /shrug

From a human? A while, like a year or so probably?

From my dog? Constantly. She's the best.

I thought they said dogs don't like hugs.

Hugging is a thing in my family atleast, for both men and women. Might be different in some other families.

Hugging is a human action to express emotion. We understand why we hug. Dogs do not. To them, it's just a constrictive action and is disliked by majority of dogs.

The hug you give your dog at home - to them - is the same "hug" I would give them at the Vet's office to restrain them.

Think you guys are reading in to this too much. I have no misgivings that my dog actually gets anything out of our hugs or that she loves me in a way humans could understand, but as a learned behaviour she gives hugs and receives them with no problems. If i'm laying on my bed, she will come and lay on me, front legs either side, that's a hug. No force, no tricks. When I get home from work, she's there at the door, I kneel down and her arms go on my shoulders and her head laying on a shoulder. That's a hug. Tail going crazy the whole time.

She doesn't need to understand it any more than she understands why she needs to bring back the ball so I can throw it again, it's just another learned behaviour.
