Jess grew up in Oklahoma before moving to New York to become a writer. She has a cat named Agnes.

It’s always nice to see a friendly face when you get home from a long trip. Whether that’s your family or your fluffy animal buddies, it reminds you of what you missed while you were away.


It’s especially nice for those spending years apart from their loved ones while stationed overseas in the military, but sometimes even being gone from them for a day is all it takes to make a person feel homesick. Now imagine all those anxious feelings you have while waiting around, and multiply them by dog years. It totally makes sense that your pooch is always so happy to see you when you walk in the door!

My pup has scratched up all the front doors of every house I’ve ever lived in with her frantic excitement each time she hears familiar footsteps heading her way.


It’s adorable, but it can also take a real toll on rental security deposits! Not that I could ever be mad at her sweet face, of course.

This woman is extra-blessed with the ultra-joyous response she’s greeted with after being away for a few weeks. Instead of just one or two dogs wagging their little tails in glee, Sshe has a whole puppy pile! The super-cute Pomeranians fly around her, covering her in affectionate fuzzy kisses. Who wouldn’t love coming home to this precious warm welcome?
