At bedtime, the cuddle fest is the ultimate way to show how you care and love each other, because, you know, showing love is as important as carrying it.
- In Your Face
If your pet likes to sleep on your head or your face, it indicates that there are some real kinks that need you two to work them out. Your relationship might be imperfect. You may truly love each deeply, but, sometime, you are not on the same wave.
Instead of taking things awkwardly when prying your pet off your face, handle this issue gently to find a comfortable position for both of you. Take it as a chance to ease the tension that you might both have, moreover, it is a way to compromise with your buddy.
