Toph,
OK...from my experience as a social worker, especially in Hospital settings, it is only when it is almost 'too late' to tell someone you love them. For some reason, we feel weird about using the word. Maybe it is it's power...but our relationships are pretty powerful too.
So, my advice is, start with your dog, and imagine he is the person you say you want to love, and script it out, trying a few different approaches. Even if you just mumble it the first few times, you will get used of it and become more bold in saying it. Life is waaaayyy too short to not express this with words. (And I am sure you do it in other ways too.)
Good luck...let me know what you think...and hopefully after you tried it.
Best,
Jay
