Well, my dog always waits at the gate in the evening, waiting for my husband to come back from work. Sometimes, if my husband comes home late, then she'll just lie down there and wait. It's so cute to see her waiting. When we come back from outside, she always come to the gate and welcome us too. It's so nice to go home and see the lovely dog. 
Today, my husband didn't go to work, and it seems like my dog knew about it, and she didn't wait at the gate in the evening. Dogs are really smart, aren't they?^_^
How about your dogs? Do they welcome you when you go home? Feeling good having someone waiting for you at home?

Every time I come home, my dog often runs to the front door to greet me, with her tail wagging. However, there times when she is very sleepy and she doesn't get up, but as soon as she sees me, her tail starts wagging and starts kissing me.

She's not only welcoming me she even sits on my lap and look me in the eye as if she was saying something. My dog really adores me... I love her so much...

I get home late at night. So when I get home all the dogs are out of their crate watching tv with my boyfriend. So I get bummed rush at the dog by five dogs and two cats when I get home. It takes me about ten minutes just to get out of the doorway. LOL
It is nice but annoying at the same time.

Hello kakka 135 Ji,
Dog is treated like smallest member in any family, when any member comes to door, Dog wants to greet everybody, so dog will greet you as well. Dog will come and lie down infront of you. Have a great time.

Yes, my dear little ones wait at the gate or inside at a window for my return. They won't eat or drink while I am gone. They worry for me until I return.
Likewise when my husband coomes home from his trips away, they bombard him with love and hugs as they give them. They stick to him for a few days being his shaddow. It is really nice to be missed and loved so completely.

Hi friends,
You know our big old dumb dog. We can go outside for two minutes and when we come in, he jumps around and acts like we've been gone for days. He loves us so much and I don't know what I would do without him. His name is Tazz. He is part pit bull part bull mastiff. However, he's got the characteristics of a big silly lab.
The house would be so lonely without him and our cat Clark Griswald.
Cheers,
Cheryl

Yeah, exactly! I always miss my dog when she's not around. She used to stay with the vet for a few days when she did the spay surgery, we missed her so much. Sometimes, even we brought her for washing, and have to leave her there for an afternoon, I feel lonely without her in our house too. ^_^

Hi, my younger sister has a cute dog, male dog. He can reganize me, and whenever I go to my yonger sisters house, which is very near to mine, the dog would run to me, and jump, and try to embrace my leg. he is very small, and sometimes he even stretch his front leg to reach me. and his tail would shaking all the time. It is really cute.

I have two dogs and one of them almost never welcomes me home. Not because she doesn't like me but because she is about seventeen years old and completely deaf. She usually spends about 20 to 22 hours a day sleeping.
My other dog is only 2 and he loves to welcome me home. He always runs to the front door and wags his tail. Although sometimes if the blinds are down in the front of the house and he doesn't know that it is me, then he'll bark. He's a pretty good guard dog.

Dogs are smart and sweet too. One thing I love about my dog is he is always happy when I got home and always come to me when I enter the house. He knows when I'm near in the house and would bark as if welcoming me. He's really sweet and caring that I've love him more than just a pet but part of the family as well.It's feels good that someone would wait for your return.

We have dogs at home but I don't have a pet at my apartment. They say that pets can relieve stress especially when we just came from work. Maybe the feeling of being liked by the pet helps.
