Suitsmefine | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:31 pm     I watched as Amy loved her Bucky, and my 11 year old daughter said "OH , Mom I would have hugged you first......" and I thought "Me too!!!!" Something seems terribly off...My daughter is by all rights an animal activist, but even she was disturbed by Amy's reaction to her Mom....Am I just being a wench or what??? |
Lisad | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:34 pm     Awww come on - the dog was practically injuring himself to get to Amy. Peeing all over the floor certainly garnered it some spotlight. We sure are hard on the houseguests here! LOL |
Wcv63 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:37 pm     Well, for all intents and purposes Bucky is her child. I know I"ve had my mom for years but when faced with Mom or child, I would choose child. Plus she's been able to talk to her Mom a couple of times since she's been incarcerated and hasn't had any contact at all with Bucky. I'm going to give her a pass on this one. I see Amy's faults but not having enough heart isn't one of them. |
Tobor7 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:37 pm     Mom should have been holding the lil dog. Problem solved. Double hugs. (Oh, yeah. It stuck right out. I was hoping they would stay on the shot long enough for the mother HUG shot.) |
Neokat | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:39 pm     I thought it was awe-ish, he's her baby. I would hug my baby before I hugged my Mom, whom I love dearly. |
Ddr1135 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:39 pm     Have to agree with you Lisad, the dog was peeing all over the floor, so excited to see her. Amy was trying to get to her Mom, but Bucky was jumping all over her. And I might add, Amy's mom got to the door and just stopped, which certainly didn't help matters. Shame on CBS for cutting back to Julie before we got to see the reunion between mother and daughter. |
Closetfan | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:40 pm     I thought the same thing!! I love my dog DEARLY, yet would still have hugged my mom big time over my dog. I think they don't get along and mom was looking for screentime tonight to make up for that. Even the phone call home made me think Mom and Amy don't get along. Not to mention Amy's comments in the house. I think Amy clearly gets along better with men than women and has major trust issues...mostly with other women. I am sad for her. |
Craziel | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:41 pm     It seemed perfect, somehow, for someone who was so blithely ignorant of what was going on around her to tell them to their faces there are no alliances in the house. Amy lost major major points with me tonight - i'm glad she left, because she doesn't deserve even a crack at the final two. Hugging the dog instead of the human was just icing on the cake. |
Romans8_1 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:44 pm     I like Amy and thought it was very in character for her to hug her dog first. I personally wouldn't have done that, but hey .... It's Amy |
Closetfan | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:44 pm     Of course...Ddr...you have a point...maybe it was partially a matter of editing...I hope so...it made me sad. |
Itsallgood | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:45 pm     Give it up....I think you answered your own question in the title of this thread....Mom for years and Bucky for months...CASE CLOSED IMHO!!!! Amy loves her dog...Mom was next and yes she loves her Mom too. CBS just doesn't allow too much time for reunions. Like in the above post...she's talked to Mom...had no contact with her precious dog. She deserved that moment so don't read all this negative stuff into it. Do I feel SAD????? NOT ONE BIT!! She is in the arms of her family now...I feel ESTATIC!!! |
Sybilbb3oracle | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:46 pm     That Dog COULD NOT be held in arms and was trying to break the leash to get to Amy. I say that Amy had no chnce to do anything but go for the dog to relieve her mother. Just goes to show what a good heart that AMy has that that li'l dog still insanely loves her after NOT seeing AMy for 10 weeks. Nothing wrong here, folks. I'm sure Amy's mom got plenty of hugs once Amy got Bucky picked up. Don't forget! Amy gave her mom $1000 gift, not Bucky. She also had just spoken with her mom and dad last Friday. |
Sassylady | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:47 pm     It was just AMY being AMY. She talked of her dog like I talk about my kids...I still would have grabbed my Mom, which I am sure she did..eventually :0) |
Curlyq | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:51 pm     Oh, for goodness sake. The dog was the first to enter the room and was going nuts. Of course she's going to react to him first. She then tried to go to her mother but the dog was freaking out so much I would've stopped and tried to calm him down, too (and I don't even like dogs very much). Isn't it a bit over-the-top to be saddened by this, or to judge her relationship with her mother based on it or whatever story she told in the house (possibly just to garner sympathy at a key moment)? If their relationship was that bad we would've seen her father or brother there to meet her. |
Sheila494 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:52 pm     i did notice that amy didnt hug her mom but i didnt think it was any big deal..mom is a grown woman..she knows amy loves her..if i had been away from my dog (joey) for that long i would have probably done the same thing..doesnt mean i dont care for my mother. |
Puzzled | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:53 pm     Well, her Mom's probably a dog-lover, too. If I were holding on to my daughter's dog, peeing all over the floor and frantic to see her/his "Mommy," I would expect my daughter to calm the dog down first. After all, I would have known where she was and that she was coming back--for all the dog knew he had lost Amy forever. Give her a break! |
Suitsmefine | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:56 pm     Well, my husband and I have had Julio, (our tomcat) since we married 14 years ago, I love him he was our first baby....then came our children, and I can honestly say that as much as I love that feline, I love my family MORE!!!!! My Mom would have had puppy mushed up on her chest and thats all I'm trying to say... plus I have always said that there had to be some problems within the family for Amy to be sooooo self destructive.... |
Katrina | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:00 pm     That dog was practically having spasms, being so excited and anxious to get to her. The dog had a visibly immediate need for contact and affection and maybe reassurance. Amy's mom seemed like she could be a little more patient than the pup. And Amy's mom has spent all of this time knowing Amy would be coming home; little Bucky didn't know that for all of that time. I think it was primarily a question of meeting an immediate, urgent need first. Like triage. You tend to the one who needs you most first, with no disrespect to the others. |
Sheila494 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:00 pm     not really suitsmefine..i think some people can just be screwed up without the help of parents. |
Puck1021 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:00 pm     To me it looked like Mom had her hands full trying to hold on the lil "Rat Dogs" leash. I use the term rat dog as a term of endearment, I love dogs always have and always will. I just call all those lil ankle biters "Rat Dogs" and that one was so hyper had Mom tried to hug Amy or Amy tried to hug Mom, the dog covered in pee would have been all over them, between them, wrapping the leash around their legs as only hyper lil dogs can. They cut away too quickly I will wager dollars to doughnuts that when the dog settled down Mom got a big ol Amy hug. IMHO

Peaceful | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:01 pm     Suitsmefine, You have got to be kidding me! Wow As puzzled said,Give her a break. |
Aerojunki | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:02 pm     My mom would be shocked if I didn't hug my dog first! :o) |
Willsfan | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:02 pm     Amy was trying to calm Bucky down enough to get over to her mom. Apparently her mom knew how much Amy cared for that dog or she wouldn't have flown it all the way to CA. |
Bastable | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:07 pm     I agree. Give her a break! This board is so incredibly judgmental! We saw her for 10 seconds and her dog was freaking out during those 10 seconds! She was calming it down before she talked to mom. Ten seconds, you give her! Chill! If Amy's mom were the one jumping up and down, pee-pee puddling on the floor, it would have turned out differently. |
Guiltyviewer | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:18 pm     For people who aren't parents yet, their pets ARE their children. When Amy went into the house, her 'baby' was just about 5 months old, give or take. He is now over 7 months and that's a long time in a puppy's life to not see their owner and vice versa. Amy has spoken of Bucky just like a proud mom would, and she was really caught off-guard by Bucky being there, thinking no way would he be flown out. Little Bucky went absolutely bonkers when he laid eyes on his 'mama' and promptly did what lots of puppies do then...he peed allllll over the floor , which Amy commented on. Amy's mom stood sort of by the doorway with the leash extended fully while Bucky did his happy dance and Amy tried to calm him, and I don't blame her for not wanting to step into the pee puddling all over! I don't think less of Amy, her mom, nor CBS for not holding the shot long enough to show us the humans hugging---they had an HOH comp to get underway and had no more time apparently. I'm sure Amy and her mom didn't think about it at all, just happy to be together finally. IMHO |
