I love your blogs! I really enjoy how you put pictures with cute captions. Honey sounds like such a sweetheart with an amazing personality! You would probably enjoy my blog, check it out!

This is such a lovely story, and I think it’s something that will resonate with a lot of dog owners. I know I’ve experienced a similar phenomenon when my dog seems to revel in the attention of others and be ready to go off with kindly strangers at the drop of a hat..!

But it’s the moments you mention above, those unexpected yet utterly heartwarming times when you realise that actually your dog couldn’t imagine what they’d do without you, and depends totally upon you that make the whole journey so worthwhile.

I’d love to test this theory with Sampson, but I’m too nervous to tie him outside. 🙁 I have however had to leave him in the car at the vet’s while I settled the bill. I moved the car right in front of a window so I could keep my eye on him. I think he watched for a minute or so, then he lay down. He’s the laziest dog.

I don’t worry about anyone taking Delilah, because I know they’ll bring HER right back. LOL

I will have to try this to see! I kind of think Ace’s response would be similar to Honey’s. Like you, I’ve only left him tied up like four times and only when I could see him. But I do have plenty of easy places around me where I could test this. Or if my husband goes along too one could watch secretly while the other gets food.

Haley does the same thing that Honey does, except she wants all of her family members together. If anyone strays off, she thinks it’s her job to make sure everyone is present and accounted for. I’m glad you got to see what Honey’s really thinking about when you’re not close by.

I often think Toby loves strangers more than me too. Nice that you got to witness that this is not always the case with Honey. Guess strangers are more interesting when you can share in the greeting with her. “Look mom, we have a new friend. Isn’t it GRAND?”

I think it’s lovely that Honey draws confidence from being with you.
I love to mix with people, seemingly not caring where my own bipeds are – but they’ve noticed that if someone makes me feel unsure I immediately look around to see where my bipeds are.

Abby sounds just like Honey in that she hardly even wags when she sees me come home at night, though she always meets me at the door & goes to get a toy to bring me. But should anyone else come over, she is all over them, bouncing around them, licking them, & making herself a little pest (though lovable). But she always comes back to me, & when we are out, and I’ve left her in the car (also with an unobstructed view of her when I am in the store), I can see her in the back seat with her front paws up on the counsel between the two front seats peering out the front window to see where I’ve gone.At home she follows me from one room to the other.

I love this story! I think Sheba might be just like Honey. She’s our only dog who is comfortable with strangers. She doesn’t get nearly as excited as Luke and Cricket do when we get home. She takes her time greeting and grabs a toy to bring outside. It sounds like our golden retrievers are very secure in our love and don’t feel like they need to show us over exuberantly how much they return it.

Interesting observation.
