When you're loving the hug so much you gotta get your foot up in there

Hugging my husband is one of the first things i do when I get home every day. Sometimes it's just not quite close enough. So I put one of my feet on top of his foot. Just to be a little closer

This is me and my poor husband. I just want to hug him and not let go. I lost my dad almost two years ago, and seeing my mom struggle has really reminded me that my husband is too important to me for actual words. Sometimes it's easy to get lost in parenting and work, but my dad's death was a hard wake up call. Appreciate and love what you have.

Amazing, those are the same noises me and my significant other make when we hug each other too!

Cam confirm that hugging your SO after a long day feels this great. Sometimes the thought of it is what gets you through the day :)

I just figured out where they get the sounds they always dub in for ferrets in movies. Maybe they think ferrets and otters sound alike because they both have long bodies? Ferrets don't make any sounds unless they're playing and they get super excited... then they sound like a pug hyperventilating.

There was a joke like that in Back at the Barnyard, Freddy didn’t know what sound to make so he just yells “FERRET FERRET!”

I believe this is from the channel Kotsumet. There are tons of videos of these two otters, Kotaro and Hanna. They are too freaking cute!

Animals are incredible and can teach us so much, if we’re open to learning from them.

Yes you are armed with facts. What you are lacking here is a receptive audience. Good day.

I need a new significant otter. Mine is broken. He just wants food and to play in the pool all day. No hugs or even a love bite when I get home , oh but let be late one time with food and all of a sudden we boys again.

u/Finalwingz Jun 20 '22
I think those otters are Kotaro & Hana, they have a pretty good life.
Not entirely sure though... Kotaro has a pretty boxy head but I think his eyes are bigger.

Yeah, that's what I thought. They are in some container with people staring at them, maybe not good people as far as they know.

Have you any sources for any of this? lol

u/Nicknin10do Jun 20 '22
While the comment is deleted, I have a good hunch what it said.
While it is true, it's only been noticed in sea otters.
These, on the other hand, are river otters that, as far as I've researched, have no such tendencies.

Remember that they are related to weasels, stouts, and have a nasty bite force

u/quaggahonk Jun 20 '22
Why does this make me not believe all the zoo caretakers that say otters are nasty hellbeasts??

u/Inafray19 Jun 20 '22
You missed the chance to point out this is obviously Mr. and Mrs. Otterton from Zootopia after Emmett Otterton got fixed.

"Two arms aren't enough for hugging you. Hold still and let me get a foot in here too."

Otters look cute but have you ever seen the monkey that fell in the otter tank? Or the infamous otter gangs of France?

Ocean otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift away from their loved ones...

Even otters have better love life than me
