How Does Your Animal Show Affection?

Right now, too much affection.
My girl (my avatar) just got spayed, and has to be kept quiet and isolated. (A challenge I can tell you!).
And my girlfriend shattered her knee, and can't help me, OR get help from the local hospital, OR from her health insurance company.
So, I have three shepherds following me everywhere I go, underfoot and in the way constantly! (If they aren't wrestling with each other.)
Not complaining. Bragging, I think, but trying non the less.
