The Month of Love

Hi there, and welcome back,

February, the month of love, a month whose associations have become more important than ever to us these past two years. The periods of isolation we’ve endured made us realise just how vital relationships are to our wellbeing, both mental and physical. However outgoing or shy—even reclusive—you might be, your relationships contribute to your sense of meaning and purpose.

This month I’ll offer a bit of history, and explain why February—and St. Valentine in particular—has come to be associated with love and romance. I’ll also define love—not as straightforward as you might think—and suggest ways you can show your love both towards others as well as towards yourself. 

Caroline will focus, as ever, on you and your dogs, in particular some of the reasons why humans have for centuries cherished their relationships with these faithful loving creatures. She’ll also suggest some of the best ways to show our dogs we really love them—again, not as straightforward as you might think!

Here’s hoping your February will be filled with all sorts of love,

Warm wishes,

Linda and Caroline
