- I agree with you. I think we forget easily that touch is needed,
- infants that aren't held don't develop normally. It is sad when the
- house pet gets more attention and touch than the people living there.
- I have notice that friends who comes to my house will almost always
- pet my dog but often will not hug me or kiss me. Of course, my dog
- is hard to ignore, she makes it clear that she wants and expects
- a pet. I learned from her to ask for hugs and kisses, know what,
- I am getting a lot more since I started asking.
