Every dog I've ever owned though has always been first to greet me at the door.
"Jerry" (a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever ix) would push the kids out of the way and wriggle his way to being first to greet me at the door when our kids were small. It was kinda funny. He'd watch for me out the front window then run to the door that opens to the garage as soon as he saw my truck pull into the driveway.
Jerry passed some 8 years ago now, and now we have Teddy, a black Labradoodle. With no prompting or training whatsoever, Teddy does the exact same thing. Most of the time he's not even at the front window, he hears my truck coming down the street and runs for the door to the garage to greet me when I walk in.
So I admit to that one. The rest, nuh uh.
My little Maltese mix is 10.For a long time now he starts waiting at the slider that has a view to the driveway entrance about a half hour before hubby gets home. When I first noticed it, I remember thinking - is this dog psychic or what? It took me awhile to realize that hubby calls me when he leaves work to see if I need him to pick up anything. The dog must know who I am talking with and that’s when he starts his vigil. He’s a smart little dog.
