A home is just a House, without a Dog in it. When I return home, and see my 4-legged companion, at the window, impatiently howling out my arrival , to the whole neighborhood, it's embarrassing, but, it warms my heart. And the second I step through that door, I'm showered with  big sloppy, wet kisses, from head to toe. I could be gone for only 10 minutes, I always get the same Welcome Back reception, kisses & all. Cause in a doggy's time table, 10 minutes away from their human, is forever!
