Huggy Bear

Today is international hugging day. Flemish people are not huggers by nature. Compared to Americans, we prefer to kiss and shake hands, but more often, even the Flemish try to hug. I'm a hugger!
I really like to hug and cuddle! It's a good stress reliever.

Some friends of mine are good huggers. Their hugs are sincere and warm and very welcome. Other people hug like spiders: cold, distant and creepy. I don't know if one can learn how to hug. It has to come from within. You can express a lot in a hug. Some hugs are loving, other can be comforting and consoling.

Even our whippets like to hug. Lana hugs them all the time. She grabs their legs, puts them on her shoulders and hugs them to pieces. They like to hug too!

So: are you a hugger or not?
