Should I feel bad?

Last night my friend asked me if Danie and Yuki greeted me upon arriving home. He was expecting them to miss me so terribly that they'd be extremely excited to see me back home.
I said, no, and he said, they're bad!
Of course not! They're not bad dogs at all. Of course they miss me but when the air conditioner is on and Craig is sleeping when I m not home, they curl up next to him and are sound asleep!
Of course they miss me because the moment they wake up and realize I'm home, they would bark to wake Craig up for him to let them out and greet me.
So I don't feel bad that they're not right at the front door the moment I arrive.

SAme. And I don't feel bad at all because I know that I am their world. Especially, Danie.

@toniganzon - You know how much your dogs love you. They are happy when you are home even if they do not get up from their comfortable sleeping.
We know they’re crazy about you.@toniganzon (77320)

Very true. I know how much they adore me and I didn't want them to wake up when they're sleeping comfortably next to Craig.

I am sure they do miss me and I don't expect them to jump at me every single time. Especially now that Danie is in her senior years and Yuki is approaching that too.

Same. And I didn't want to disturb them at all that's why I let them be. When they're awake, the moment they hear me coming right at the gate, I could already hear them crying for me.

Of course they miss you when you're not home, and you are right; they do not have to come running just be joyful to see you,

Very true. They miss me but they feel comfortable next to Craig.

The cats used to greet my mother when she would come home from work, but sometimes they don't. But that doesn't mean the cats don't love her.

I agree. When my girls are awake, they always greet me. But when they're sleeping comfortably, they don't.
