I think my snake loves me

[Ophiuchus]

Ophiucus, there are so many more kinds of love than unconditional among humans. While most dogs may love unconditionally, very few humans truly do. So does that make dogs more sophisticated b/c they are less petty?

Yeah, I can understand that. I mean, I don't "love" pizza in the same way I love my girlfriend. But perhaps thats my point; our society throws that word around so non-chalantly and loosely that few people really know how to define it. I mean, how many times you do actually say the word and really mean it? That, I think, is what I'm getting at.

We humans are so good at tossing the word around, so we so easily want to use it for describing how our pets see us. So yeah, I guess "love" means different things to different people in different situations. But in its purest definition, I doubt its the most accurate term to describe how a bearded dragon or ball python feels about its owner.
