If my loved ones locked me up and left for a time frame I was unsure of I do believe I would be quite needy when they came back as well!
Gracie hates to see us leave. She always gives us the sad eyes when we head for the door. I always talk to her and tell her to mind the house while we are gone. She does the puppy dance when we get home and, yes, she does expect to be properly greeted when we arrive. I don't think that is needy. She is just glad we are home and wants some attention. I sit down for a couple of minuets and let her lick my face and I give her belly rubs, then we go about the day.....with her "helping" me with everything I do. That is why I have a dog. They don't just disappear when we don't want them around and appear when we do happen to think of them. She thinks she is part of the family and I wouldn't want it any other way. |
