Well, my family always told me that when it was time for me to come home for lunch everyday that Muffin would go to the front door and lay there and wait for me. They said she did the same thing every evening and if I didn't come home at the usual time every evening that she would go into the room they were in and look up at them as if to say, "Where's mom?" She also had her meal times down pat and if I didn't feed her right on time then she came and barked at me!
