When I came home my son was holding Gizmo at eye level when I walked in and we locked eyes. He just stared at me and me at him, I didn't say a word. He just looked at me for a few seconds and then it's like it clicked and he recognized me. He started squirming and couldn't get to me fast enough. He was so excited and whimpering! What a great reception! I was so afraid he was going to ignore me. Since I have been home he has been a lap dog. When he is done playing he will jump on my lap no matter how I'm sitting, he will find a way to lay down. Before he would lay on his blanket, couch, his bed pretty much anywhere but on my lap. The last time he had to lay on me was when he was nuetered and that lasted one day. I LOVE the change.
