"Mama's Boy"

Dave has decided that Buck is a Mama's boy. When Dave comes home from work now, he says Buck almost looks disappointed if I'm not there too. When I'm there, I sometimes sit on the stairs, and Buck always (without fail!) takes that as an invitation and takes his "perch" on my lap. (He thinks he's still a tiny little puppy...he's a lap dog) Dave has told me that when I'm not there, Buck will go and sit on the steps and whine, and even if he goes over and sits with him, Buck turns away from him and continues to whine. After I leave, he'll usually sit at the door waiting for me to come back, and there have been times when I've gone over and he's been laying in front of the door waiting. Not only this, but if he hears my voice when Dave's on the phone with me, he goes nuts, and when Dave tells him I'm not coming over, he goes and lays down in the corner. Dave has now started calling him my dog, and we're starting to wonder if this "custody" thing should be more "joint" than it already is. ;)
