Our yorkies are great at welcoming anybody home. Each family member gets the same treatment. Open the door and two wiggling little bodies jumping up and down at 100 mph and when you pick them up you are covered with kisses. Doesn't even matter how long you have been gone. My daughter lives away at college and comes home every few weeks and gets the same greeting as I do if I left for 10 minutes to go the post office. They definitely light up my life
