Amber, I know what you mean!
When I put Charlie in his harness and leash and carry him outside, all of my neighbors are like, "Hi Charlie!!!". Only after they pet, kiss and shower him with affection do they remember to say hi to me!
Sometimes when Charlie is sunning on his window sill, I can hear my neighbor across the way talking to him and telling him how cute he is. Mr. Popularity.
