Okay I gotta ask about the tail wag. Is that really a sign of love or a conditioned response? Mom equals treats and petting equals good equals tail wag. My dogs wag their tails at everybody they meet. Do they really love everybody as much as me or do they associate every human with treats? They wag their tails, when they get a drink of water. Are they in love with their water bowl? Guess I'm gonna have to compare the tail wags and see if I rate as high as the water bowl. Murph was wagging his tail about as happy and fast as I've ever seen it, when he was growling and lunging at Idgie the Jack Russell, trying to rip her head off. Is he in love with Idgie? Are there wedding bells in their future? Are masochist relationships love too? Hummm... just things to ponder.
