I am so used to social distancing that I never hug anyone since the last few years. The other day someone dropped in bringing her 18 months old cute baby I just could not hug the baby Actually these days it is safe to do that but being so used to staying away I have yet to start doing that
Our cats followed that protocol as can be seen from the photo but they are more understanding. They now hug each other.

I refuse to live in fear. We only wore masks when it was required. The doctors don't even wear them here anymke.

I am not so particular but hugging is not what I would like to do yet with outsiders.

@thislittlepennyearns Shaking hands is worse as our hands always have some germs

@wolfgirl569 I doubt if anyone hugged each other during the pandemic though

@allknowing Yes we did. I hugged my kids and close friends. Hugging is good for emotional well-being

They look so relaxed. They own the place 
. I missed hugging so much during the pandemic.Now, I am back to hugging unless someone is sick. My special needs children ( the younger ones) take those hugs as reward for being good.

Cats are unpredictable.
Hugs are so reassuring and those kids must be loving you more.

The cats look so relaxed. I haven't hug someone for some time as well.
