National Cuddle Up Day

Did you know today, January 6th is National Cuddle Up Day? It’s also VERY cold in many areas so what better way to warm up, if even just warming up your heart by cuddling up with someone.

My dog Snowball loves to cuddle, he comes over and nudges me to move my chair out so he can jump up on my lap. He is the best cuddle dog and he even knows when I need a cuddle before I do!

But human cuddling is good too, it’s been said it releases oxytocin which can help reduce pain.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL CUDDLE UP DAY

The best way is to cuddle-up with someone you love whether it be your fur buddy or human buddy. Snowball and Lia love to cuddle.

When Lia’s mommy was about 6 years old we had a toy poodle. Alex would dress the dog up, cuddle with him and read him stories. Now Lia is doing the same thing with Snowball!

Did you know that even animals cuddle with other animals? My daughter’s cat sometimes thinks she’s a dog. Bella can be found many times snuggling up in the dog bed with Balto.

Whether you cuddle with a human or a pet, we all need cuddles and today is National Cuddle Up day so get cuddling!
