It doesn’t matter that I told them he wouldn’t be home for two more hours, they spent that whole time waiting by the front door, getting up to look out the window, check every noise they heard, looking for him. They do this when I am gone after they’ve had their dinner too. They just know that after they’ve eaten, the next thing is to make sure everyone in the pack makes it home. There have been times when one of us is gone overnight that they both sleep in the living room. I might not have kids, but I have a family.
