I don't believe we can give too much love but is IS possible to "spoil" them just like Stephanie said.
My Cyrus is a very affectionate dog and when he comes to me for loving when I am otherwise occupied I will stop what I am doing and give him a scritch or two. When we are settled he gets loads of loving!
That being said, Cyrus comes to work with me and gets an unbelievable amount of attention and it got to the point last year that when someone left my office he carried on like a brat...a 95 lb. big, hairy brat!
So Cyrus only comes to work with me 2-3 X a week now. Sheesh! on graduation day he had 3 kids petting him at the same time at one point...can you see how that can lead to "King Cyrus Syndrome"?
He's a good boy though and I intend that he stay that way!
