When I returned to work on Monday, Gregg texted me around lunchtime to tell me that the dogs were miserable, especially Poppy. They kept going to the back door and windows to look longingly at the driveway, checking to see if I was back yet. Lots of big sighs and sad eyes. Poppy finally draped herself over the back of a small sofa that has a driveway view, and laid there all afternoon, waiting. I asked if Marco had missed me, too. Gregg said, "I'm not sure, but he's been a little asshole all day, so I imagine he's sick of me if nothing else." Ha. When I finally got home, there was absolute doggy joy. (Jennifer joy, too!)
Yesterday when I got home from work, the dogs got so excited and wound up that they started pulling toys out of the toy basket and play-fighting with each other in front of me. Marco watched from his perch, obviously wanting to join in the fun. Lately he's been getting braver about approaching them, and George and Poppy have been showing remarkable tolerance with it. It's a good thing, too, because when there was a pause in the doggy roughhousing, Marco decided it was time to move right up into both their faces. He's awfully bold, and the dogs are awfully good!
Love the face-to-face between Marco and Poppy!!
ReplyDeleteThey missed their mommy!!!
ReplyDeleteMarco!! Pretty clear that he is the biggest dog in the house. Poor poochies miss their mom- that is so sad.
ReplyDeleteAwww, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe pups love their mommy and want her home. They are so good with Marco.
ReplyDeleteLove,

I love it when different animals interact. If we have to leave Billy at home alone, he get's so excited when we return. I think he misses us too!
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute and so funny! In the one picture it's as if Marco is saying to Poppy. Now just take it easy there doggy, not to close.
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely photos! And it is so sweet that your "kids" miss you when you're not around. Of course they will soon settle back into the familiar routine with you regularly being out of the house on weekdays.
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to Librarian School for four weeks at a time, my cat insisted on my Mum opening the door to my room for her, so that she could see for herself that I really wasn't there.
It is wonderful to see the three kids interacting. I love those close-up and personals! And Gregg’s description of Marco...
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Dogs are so special. They ask so little and give so very much.
ReplyDeleteThat is cute!
ReplyDeleteI guess the three kids have all accepted each other as being in the same pack. It is very sweet to see them together, united in their love of you and Gregg.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou gotta wonder what the dogs are thinking: "What is this creature? Is it food?" (Apparently they've already reached the conclusion that it's not.)
ReplyDeleteAnd who knows what Marco is thinking, though I get the sense that he believes he rules the roost.
I love these photos! LOVE them! Murray whines whenever I leave, and Michael tells me he puts his paws up on the kitchen window looking for me to return.
