Today is National Hug Your Dog Day. Hugging is big at our house. Sometimes Mom hugs us, sometimes we hug her. We know not all dogs like hugs but we all do. The above photo is from the professional photo shoot Mom did with Emma and Katie. This is the best hugging photo we have. Thank you to Karin Newstrom! Since they have both passed away, I opted for black/white. We tried to do selfies with hugs for our post today, but they are not really the best.
I’ve been a hugger since I was little and Mom named my hugs huggles. Sometimes I won’t even let go and I want to just hug and hug. I even hug with strangers. Mom loves hugging with me.
Madison doesn’t hug, but she enjoys being hugged. She is a big cuddler for a small girl but never really puts her arms around anyone’s neck.
Olivia loves to hug like I do. She demands lots of hugging time from Mom, probably more than any of us. Of course, Mom is happy about it. She loves our hugs too. I know it is hug your dog day, but I don’t think it matters who is doing the hugging. Just hug!
Our little man Nelson is also very fond of hugs. He even hugs us girls sometimes. Most of his hugging with Mom is done with him on his back paws reaching up to Mom’s shoulders. The guy is really long! He wouldn’t do it for a selfie, so we got one sitting down instead.
Don’t forget to hug your dog today if you have one. National Hug Your Dog Day is a great excuse to do so!

Love all of the hugs and we consider you lucky. The only time that Molly hugs me is when she’s getting groomed and then we do hug and it’s so special and so nice.
We all hug many times every day and Mom loves it. Madison is the only one who doesn’t hug, but Mom hugs her.
oh this wonderful memories… your fur angels… so great that you made so much memories who are full of love….
Lots of love going around at this house which we love 🙂
Hugging is good for everyone’s health!
It is and we do it often.
What a great day. I think I will hug every dog. I see on the street today. Hugs and kisses.
Now that is an idea!
Hugs are the BEST!!! I remember the Katie and Emma photo shoot – does that make me old?
No, it makes our mom old. She thinks it was a few years ago and it was almost eleven years ago!
You all are such good huggers! Rosy is the hugger in our pack…I just like to snuggle on Mama’s lap…I guess that’s kind of a hug, right?!
xoxo,
Rosy & Sunny
You are more like Madison who snuggles a lot but never does a hug on her own. The rest of us love to hug.
That day was new to me
We heard about it and decided to post about it.
Oh my- what sweet photos! Happy Days to you!
Thank you…sending hugs…
I hug Levi every day! Sadly, since NO ONE takes photos of ME hugging him. I only have a photo from when he was a puppy and one from the Vet approx two years ago. So, I didn’t post!
Selfie hugs are not an easy thing to do, but we didn’t have any other options! We all hug a lot around here.
Hugging is good every day of the year. I know mom loves and hugs on all of you often.
I’m sorry I’m so late. Workers showed up this morning to tear out our kitchen for the last part of the remodel and we had no idea they were coming. We worked our behinds off cleaning out all the drawers and cabinets.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around and a hug to mom. ♥
Oh my, what a way to start your day! At least it is for something you are looking forward to. Hugs to you!
I love hugs and I give a big hug to everyone! Happy Hug Your Dog Day!! What a great idea! Juno
GBGV hugs to all who would like some. We have an unlimited supply at our house.
What precious photos from top to bottom. Many years ago right after I started blogging a blogger reminded us all to have someone take a photo of each of us our fur babies. I treasure those of have of Angel Madi
Hugs…to all pups and Mom

We have a lot of photos with Mom from our sports which we love. Once we are gone, there are no more photos, so it is important to have plenty.
Your house sounds like ours! Hugs for everyone any time! But Zen’s hugs are extra special at times because I know his daddy angel- whispered in his ear to “make your mama feel better” when I’m sad. (Zoey is kinda like Madison – she doesn’t hug but likes when I hug her.)
I’m the only one who doesn’t give hugs but I enjoy snuggling a lot and Mom can hug me too.
Those are super hugs sweet pups and you all sure do look wonderfully happy!
We are all big on cuddling, snuggling, and hugging around here.
Hooray for Hugs!!! My sister Lilly is probably the best hugger in our family. When she was younger she could get up on her hind legs and she would put her paws around mom’s waist and hug tight! I don’t do it as much, but I love snuggling!! Have a great night! your friends Chester and Lilly
Everyone but Madison stands on their back paws and puts their paws around Mom’s neck to hug. Mom gets down low and hugs Madison. Happy hugging!
Every hound that likes hugs, deserves hugs!
And we get them too!
