The Waiting Game
Cupid is starting to get as bad as Henry in the department of wanting her people to be home. She likes us to be home. She's not one of those aloof type cats. It is not enough that only one of us is home, they like us both to be home. So, when only one of us is home, the waiting game for the other one of us begins. Both Cupid and Henry take their spots and watch out the window. Cupid still has all her faculties. She can see, hear, smell, talk. So, she is fully functioning. While Henry has poor hearing and no real vision to speak of, he can see lights and shadows. So, he totally knows when a car pulls into the driveway. It that happens during the day, Henry can tell because the way the car and the sun cause reflections. If it's at night, he can tell headlights shine through the darkness. Thus, Henry knows what to be on the look out for. There are times when this becomes problematic, though. If our next door neighbor comes home in the evening, his car lights can reflect to give the impression that it's an OBP peep. Or in the daytime sometimes, someone might pull into the driveway to drop a package or turn around or something but if they come in the driveway, Henry still knows and then expects a peep or a visitor.
Since Cupid can see, she knows the difference. She gets all, "stupid dog" on Henry when he gets worked up over a false alarm. You can see that Cupid gets the prime spot and Henry is relegated to the less desirable location while the cat is standing guard. These creatures just love their peeps being home, though.

it is funny how they want us to be home when I go out my pugs look for there treat then they are crated my boxer and fosters have free roam when ever I pull in the driveway Baxter the boxer is looking out the kitchen window barking at me and my fosters are at the door barking like crazy I always get such a warm happy welcome home
This is definitely a pose of anticipation; how heartwarming this is.
This is sooo cute!! Nothin’ says lovin’ like opening the door to welcoming fur babies
Completely adorable! I love that Cupid joins Henry in waiting. Did she always? And did Henry let her have the window position, or did she commandeer it?

Of course Cupid gets the window seat, and I love our loyal Henry patiently waiting as well. How sweet is this picture?!?
We had a bay style window at the front of our house that had a low seat. When I pulled into the driveway, there would be my Nora Pug sitting so regally, waiting for me to come home.
I would also see her brother Nicky, his cute little round head peeking over the edge of the seat (he was not allowed on the seat when Nora was on it). They would both disappear out of the window, drapes flapping in their wake, to greet me at the door. This was ALWAYS the best part of the day for both Pugs and human!
How cute is that…just shows how much you are loved:) Isn’t the best part of your day when you walk in the house and get sugar from Henry and Cupid?
Waiting for the humans….our gang starts greeting us when they hear the garage door start to open. Between the 3 of them it’s quite a concert.
Love the Cupid and Henry have worked out the seating arrangement!
