does animal fall in love?

Hmmmm....do animals sepecifically dogs know what is romantic love? D they experience love the sameway we do? Do they also know what is like to love?......Dhoby, the male chihuahua, always whince all the time whenever he is separated from his darling, Song'er.At the moment, he is sitting in his playpen, looking at me with those big pleading eyes making the most pitisome whince, begging me to let him out.(knowing that its for his own good to remained separated, i walked away leaving him whincing even louder) He is doing lots of whincing these days since Song'er has to be separated from him to spend some alone time to deliver. Yup, she's pregnant and is expecting o labour anytime now. Guess he's the type who wants to be present with his wife all the time no matter what. Song'er is getting quite moody and aggressive lately. She has been snapping quite alot at him over little things too. lolzzz....Uniz u r rite about saying pregnant woman does get aggressive back then in secondary school. Hmmm... through all these i realised how loving and sweet Dhoby is as a husband alwasys so forgiving, willing to put up with her nonsense and ever ready to give her a kiss (i.e licking her all over from head to toe).

So....from my personal observations, i think animals , dogs in this context, do know how to care and love. Somehow the instinct to care and be protective over the female seemed to have been there ever since. Okok ......just in case u might be thinking i'm a little too obessed with dogs....let me make myself clear.

Since i'm not a dog , i would neva know whether if dogs does experience love as intense as that of us. I would neva know if what i had interpretated through my observations is considered as love in the doggy world. But i would like to think that they are indeed in love and does have a certain extent of care for each other. Well, Dhoby does get quite possessive over Song'er too. So i take that as an expression of providing security for her.

I'm on my lonnnngggg vacation now so that leaves me with plenty of time to do plenty of things. Not wanting myself to occupy meysef ith emptiness, guess thats how my imagination picks up and start making up lots of crazy theories about life and animals. I would be game enough with anyone that is willing to challenge and share their own theories about different stuff too. (different stuff meaning stuff that is beyond my reach no politics, governement, domestic or intellectual stuff- i'm an idiot when it comes to those =P)
