When I was a graduate student and Shaddow was just a few months shy of completing her first year, I would dance around my kitchen in celebration of a good day, a good grade, the completion of whatever...at that time, there was no furniture in the kitchen, so I has lots of open space. Made a wonderful dance floor. Shaddow would get all hyper and her big puppy paws would just reach my hips. So I would bump her (ala "the bump" of the 70s) with one hip, and then she would run a circle around me, setting her paws on my other hip. I would bump her, and she would dance around me again. We would do this for awhile, til I got breathless or calmed down from my eurphoria. I love the way she shares emotions with me, without even needing to know why I am feeling down, or up, or nervous, or whatever. THAT'S loyalty.
