LOL...I completely understand on BOTH points!
However I think my dog has no sense of time....she does the same thing when I simply come back from taking out the trash!
Sometimes all I get out of the son is a grunt! Ha!:)
I have to admit tonight my son did give me a "hug,kiss,I love you". That is what we call it. lol About 2 seconds long, but I love it!
The dog is funny. I have never had a puppy before. Talk about unconditional love! Now, I cannot imagine life without him. :) Life can be rough, but the warm snug from Gizmo is better than Calgon!
