Yup, every morning when I leave for work, I tell them, "Bye guys, be good. Mommy won't be long. Stay out of trouble and i'll see you soon. Love ya all."
Then when I get home, I go and see each one, say hi, give them a kiss and scritchies.
There are many times my hubby will say, "What did you say?" and I say, "I'm not talking to you, i'm talking to Buddy," or which ever one is with me at the time.
