That describes Peanut too!! I swear, whether I've been gone for 9 hours or if I just go to the bathroom for a minute, he jumps and hugs and kisses for at least 10 minutes! I love it though
But if you try to ignore him, the excited 'yips' become 'Hey you!! pay attention to meeeeee" barks.
Sylphide runs over to the couch and barks at me to sit down so she can jump on my lap and give me hugs and kisses! She does the same with my husband and son...and gets really upset if she doesn't get proper greeting time
However, once she is done greeting, she only wants to hug and kiss on her terms, if and when she feels like cuddling
Oh yes. Add this to the long list of similarities between Sylphide and Chloe. She goes beserk whenever I come home, all the while giving me that look which says "You left me Mama - How dare you!"
Chloe has a very hard time staying alone, because I work from home and basically she has never *had* to be left. I came to the realization that I didn't train her properly to be left alone in her crate, and that's okay. When I do have to go out I have someone that stays with her and she's fine. I digress - yes greets me over and over until she feels that I have been bestowed with enough attention.
I am as excited to see them as much as they are when I've been away to school or something. But I just hate it when Cloud gets so excited, that he squirts a lil bit and then licks himself before he kisses me. What is a mother to do? Noriko doesnt like to be picked up but when she greets you, she's so happy, she doesn't care.
This decribes Baxter perfectly. I am so happy that I do not have the only excessive greeter. He is so sweet, it usually take 10 minutes to calm him down when I get home then we go through it all over once my son and husband come home-EVERYDAY. Aren't they sooo precious!!
Same with Lacey. It is so nice to have someone so happy to see me. Hubby and kids are like "so what, you are home already. You have only been gone 8 hours!"
Yes, mine both give me a great big greeting. They fight over who can get the closest to me and here I am patting one with one hand and the other with my other. Kallie does her squeal, which is what she does when she is excited. They both jump around and do the "happy dance".
The term excessive greeting disorder came from a colleague of mine who breeds whippets...Whippet people jokingly use it to describe whippet greeting behavior
I am so lucky to own my own business which allows me to take Rudy to work with me everyday.But when I do have to leave him no matter how long.He's waiting at the door ready to explode with excitment! It's so wonderful.No matter how bad a day has been or how rotten my mood may be, when I open the door and Rudy's there barking,snorking,wagging and jumping just to get in my arms and then kisses me all over my face. All negitive enegry leaves and
full the heart! Isn't a maltese a nice thing to come to?
