better than a bear hug

One of our catching fireflies fans, Diane Wurdock, heard about our Humane Society Fundraiser and thought we’d appreciate this funny forwarded email.  I laughed out loud and couldn’t resist sharing it with all of you.

Doggy Manual on How to Hug a Baby

1. First, spy a baby.

2. Second, be sure that the object you spied was indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques. If you smell baby powder and the wonderful aroma of wet diapers this is indeed
a baby.

3. Next you will need to flatten the baby before actually beginning the hugging process.

4. The "paw slide" Simply slide paws around baby and prepare for possible close-up. **Note: The added slobber should help in future steps by making the "paw slide" easier.

5. Finally, if a camera is present, you will need to execute the difficult and patented "hug, smile, and lean" so as to achieve the best photo quality.

Dogs, if this is properly done, it will secure you a warm, dry,climate-controlled environment for the rest of your life.
