Cerise makes little quick growls and short barks when I'm either cooking (she's talking to me telling me it smells good) when I'm fixing her plate (she's then telling me to hurry up and fix mine too so we can eat) or when I'm getting dressed (depending on the time of day and what I'm putting on she's saying either "are you going to work" or "are you taking me with you")
But when I get home from work I know it's "Mommy I'm happy you're home to be with ME"
