hello!!! my hubby is disabled, so he is home most of the time (unless he has to go to the doc, then we are both gone, i do not work (my hubby is my job...lol), so when i leave, it is not for long, just to run errands & grocery shop.....both my babies act like that when i get back!!! now imagine it in a motorhome....we do not have slideouts, so the floor space is minimal....they both act that way whether i have been gone 2 hours or only 5 minutes.....they however do not do the constant licking....but when they do lick me it always seems to be right on the lips or my nose!!! yuck!! i do not mind kisses on the chin or cheek, but not on my mouth.....& since they both seems to be chest dogs instead of lap dogs, that is invariably where i get them....lol....oh well.....they are my little loves.....hubby got the first one for me so that when he passes i would not be alone.....we got the other from a friend who could not take care of her anymore, both are white with brown & about 3 lbs, & what they lack in size they make up for in heart....LORD bless!!!!
