I don't think anything stops a Mom from worrying. My sis lives across the street; they can see into each other's houses from their front windows. She still worries about sis.

The dogs do recognize Muskwa. Earle is always absolutely delighted to see him. Heyoka and Founder get a little testy for a few days--they both think they could take over as alpha male(neither of them is really an alpha dog though). Muskwa cares less and less about his pack position as he ages, but he still keeps his pack in line when he's home.
