For the whole trip I wondered if Lance would recognize me when I got home. He received excellent care from Elana and her family while we were away, and she sent pictures to show how well-adjusted he was. Clearly he was not pining away with loneliness missing me.
I returned to the empty house in the dark after an absence of 11 months. Mind you, dogs are not elephants, and they largely live in the present. Lance went bonkers with enthusiasm! He bounced around, made his cheerful noises, and even sung to me. Nevertheless, he was a bit puzzled -- twice he looked behind me to see who else was coming. Was he expecting Elana's family, or Will and Nick?
