I was just talking to my boyfriend about this and he thinks they don't love! I was like, look at Harley how he comes up to you an lays on you and kisses you. That's love! Sylvia follows my dad everywhere. He can't even go into the bathroom without her scratching at the door. I call it the 6 inch rule. Sylvia has to be no more than 6 inches from my dad to feel comfortable. That's love. I can't believe my boyfriend thinks animals can't love!!!
