Harley parks himself by the front door and will remain there until I return OR it gets dark. If I’m out overnight – Lee will shut the door in the evening and Harley then knows I’m not returning until the morning. Smart Doodle!

Always love coming home early and catching Sam napping solidly, otherwise he’s at the door at the normal time EVERY single time. Not sure how he does it but his internal clock is spot on without fail. Who’d have thought that knuckle headed hound could get it so right?! 🙂

Those pictures of Honey are just adorable and it’s nice she has a dock buddy. I guess she might not see him for awhile if you’re still heading to Florida, but she’ll be happy when you head back north.

It’s pretty hard to sneak up on Haley, since we always come home through the garage and she hears the opener.

It varies with Rita. Sometimes she’s laying there by the door when I open it, leg lifted so I can rub her tummy. It always looks like she’s just been there like that the whole time I was gone! Other times, I come in the door and have to call for her and she comes slinking out of our bedroom – I’ve obviously woken her up! She does LOVE a good snooze!

I read a book a few years back – I think it was called Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home. It was fantastic! So interesting!

I don’t know about telepathy, but about 10 minutes before Ted gets home from a business trip Toby goes to his watching post on the front steps and waits. I’ve tried to figure out how he knows and the best I can come up with is that when he sees me tidying the house and putting on makeup he makes the association…but that still doesn’t explain how he knows when he’s on his way…

In reply to Pamela. I don't think so. I think my mum wasn't doing anything special and she noticed that Smokey was acting weird.

No psychic powers here-no one knows dad is home until they see the lights in the driveway and the garage door goes up!

That photo of Honey holding the stuffed toy is just precious 🙂

Very impressive that she can tell when you step on the boat.

Phoenix always knows when my husband is on his way home. Usually 15-20 minutes before he gets here she will wait by the door. I always thought that maybe it was because of his routine. His routine is very similar.

One day she started sitting by the door around lunch time and I was like, no way! Phoenix, Daddy won’t be home until later.. Literally 15 minutes later he was home. He came home on his lunch because he forgot something!! It was pretty amazing!
