We had an overnight trip out of town this weekend and when we finally rolled back into our driveway it felt great to be out of the car. Opening the door to our home is when the real fun begins. The tribe of pets comes to greet us and at first they seem rather grateful to see us. This lasts about a couple minutes. Walking away to put our bags up and change clothes, suddenly these grateful creatures turn into master inquisitors.
The dog begins to sniff at every article we have brought home with us, wanting to know where we have been and what other creatures got to enjoy our company. The cat merely prowls up and down the hallway moaning his discontent that we didn’t ask his permission to be gone for longer than an hour.
Sitting down for a cold ice tea it’s time to wonder if “stuffed animals” would offer just as much comfort?
