We hadn't had Bailey for very long when I was working away from home all day. When I came in the front door at the end of the day, this little ball of fur came flying at me at breakneck speed. I picked her up and she tried to lick my face off. After a couple of minutes, I put her down, but she wasn't having any of that - she just kept jumping up and down until I picked her up again. I sat in "my" chair and put my feet up on the ottoman. She ran up and down my legs and chest - licking my face, running down to my feet, and turning around to run back and lick my face. This is pretty much the routine now when I've been gone for any long period - like 15 minutes or more. After 5 or 10 minutes she's interested in either playing with a toy or just laying in my lap.
Now THAT's why people love dogs - because they give their all in loving us! |
