I really had to look back at my dogs behavior when she sees me come home everyday. She gets really excited, and it can last for five minute before calming down. I give her lots of hugs and kisses to let her know that I love her and I appreciate the love that she is showing me. When I do all of that I realize that she may think that I am her mother. I know dogs have certain instincts but I kind of believe that she thinks that. it is the way that she acts towards me and the mother that gave birth to her. Her mother lives next door, and she will growl at her sometimes and don't want her mother to touch me. So, I think that she feels that I am more than her owner. And I make sure that I treat her as if she is my own child.
