"You're back! Oh, I didn't think you would ever come back...I mean, I knew logically you were just at work, but...I was just spiraling in my mind, 'what if he gets lost, what if he never comes home'...ugh, that's embarrassing. Dog-brained. I think it's getting worse...next thing on my mind is going walkies, which is insane, what would the neighbors think? I'm housebroken anyway, not like I need to mark any territory...other than you. You're my territory, and don't you forget it. Maybe this time you could 'mark' me, if you're feeling up to it?"
