she's still always happy when we get home. I had to move her bed to the hallway about 3 feet from the door because she would just sleep in the shoes otherwise. She was barking today when my daughter & I got home, we could hear her through the window. I don't know if she heard us or something else was going on . It was just waaay beyond odd the way he was in the hall this morn.
as for recording i don't think i have anything. my daughter has a laptop so maybe i could hook the webcam to that.
it does suck that i even have to consider such measures.
