All you need is love ... and a dog!

These times are [still] tough when you are a hugger! Valentine's Day especially can be a difficult day for some people. Should you need a hug today, here's a big snowy virtual one, courtesy of my pup, Mr. Lennon.

Hello Andrea - most furry friends seem pretty happy to reciprocate a hug.  Not just on Valentine's Day either.  Oh, and it seems those of the canine variety are a bit more likely than their feline counterparts to participate.

Hi Andrea,  I'll take it!  I miss hugs too.  Though I do get some from our dogs - which is great! - yet somehow it's not the same.  Thanks, and have a great Valentine's Day.

Me, too, Kathy Streib - especially my mom's. I cannot wait to be able to hop on a plane and hug my mom again. We haven't seen our family in over a year now, it's getting tougher every day.

I am SO glad that Lennon chose us Michael Jacobs - he is by far the best thing that has happend to us during this pandemic. His wagging tail when I get home, the puppy eyes, the snuggles... it's really something special, today and every day.

True Bob Crane, it's not the same, but so helpful/healing/awesome to have. It's been so very difficult to not be able to see and hug my family, Mr. Lennon makes it just a bit easier to endure. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

this is an amazing photo!  I took my pup for a playdate and he got so muddy that I had to give him a shower - I would have preferred that he was covered in snow!

What a lucky fella Mr. Lennon is to have chosen your family!!  Virtual hugs to you and the girls until we can get the real ones!

I love receiving hugs, but I don't think I would be all that happy with a hug from him, he looks to be really cold, haha.

Thanks, Andrea. Mr. Lennon is adorable. My Bingo is a hugger and cuddler, too.

Thank you Lise Howe! I actually tried to get him to sit still and look all cute surrounded by untouched snow. That lasted about 3 seconds. He jumped up as soon as came down to eye level to lick my face 😄

Looking forward to the real ones Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 - it's been too long! I kept my fingers crossed for both of your appraisals. Knowing you, I'm sure it worked out great for your sellers.

I'm glad you are getting all the hugs in Barbara Todaro! I cannot wait to hug my family, just as soon as we can travel to Europe again. In the meantime, Mr. Lennon is getting most of the snuggles - besides my girls of course.

He LOVES the snow Brian England, and he's got the fur to keep him warm while playing in it forever. I've definitely gotten more than my fair share of cold nosed smooches tough. But you know, those puppy eyes just melt your heart.

You are welcome Nina Hollander! And thank you, Mr. Lennon is just 5 months old and I already can't imagine my life/family without him.

This kind of a hug is good, especially in these times when you can’t give actual hugs

I miss it so Laura Cerrano, and I am so glad that that Mr. Lennon came into our lives. His snuggles are making it all a bit easier.
