The Greeting

Hi All,
I recently watched videos of family dogs greeting servicemen who returned home from combat.  It was touching to watch these loving dogs jumping, crying, even hugging their masters when they saw them for the first time.  I hate to brag, folks, but that is the greeting I receive from Baron when I return home after spending fifteen minutes at the grocery store.  He must liken grocery shopping to combat (not even close - unless there is a sale).  He is equally enthusiastic when I return home from the drug store or from retrieving the newspaper from the end of the driveway (note: Baron does not retrieve the paper, he prefers to wait indoors where it is warm and dry).
Do I have one special dog or what?
