I drive my wife nuts. I come home from work after not seeing her all day, and the first ones I greet are the dogs. We go through a big ritual of me apologizing for not being with them all day, and they all get hugs and kisses. Then my wife gets a peck on the cheek. I know, I'm bad.

I think the strangest thing I do, though, is when we leave the house. I assign all the dogs duties: "Eddie, you're in charge. Rusty, you're the enforcer, but you can't do any enforcing until Eddie says it's OK. Jillie, you're Eddie's counselor. If he needs help making a decision, it's you're job to give him wise counsel."

Meanwhile, Kelly's winking at our budgee and telling him he's in charge.
