    That's just lovely Shiney :luv: Thank you.

    I have an honours degree in Psychology. One of the questions in my final honours paper said "Animals don't experience emotion. Discuss."
    I wish I had had that little video - but it was a long time ago. But I think you know what side of the argument I had to come down on.

    I've seen this before but it is sooooo sweet that I could look at it again and again.

    Thanks for posting, Shiney.

    Now not to put a damper on it, maybe they hold hands just to reduce the amount of spinning they would do on their own and to avoid "banging heads."

    You could have written the other half of my paper Doghouse.
    But it's only one example and there does have to be a final conclusion.

    I'm not sure that is a plausible argument.

    Any spin induced could be better negated by using the paw engaged in apparent romantic dalliance specifically for that purpose.

    I'm, in favour of animal romanticism. :luv:
