I had a Harley son stay with me for a week and a half while his owner was in Florida over the holidays. His name is Norman. Now Norman has not lived here in seven years. He is eight years old......Nichole's litter brother. When they got here and Norman saw me he was so excited and happy he was jumping all over me and whining like they do when they are really happy. He came into my house and acted like he had never left.....like he had just been out for a walk. Okay.....his visit went fine. His owner comes to pick him up and Norman just wags his tail a little. He really was not all that happy to see his owner. When I saw that I wanted to keep him but of course I could not do that because he is not mine. Now I know that the dog is well taken care of and NOT abused. What do some of you think about a dog not being happy to see his own master when we all know that a German Shepherd will attach themselves to the one person that feeds and takes care of them. It upset me and I would like an opinion from some of you if you would not mind. In fact it bothered me so much that I called his owner today and told him how I felt and if Norman was ever not wanted or not loved or in the way please send him home. What do you guys think??? Thanks in advance.
