Jhezzie | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:03 am     Hey, whoever gets to me first gets my first greeting. Usually, it's my cat. |
Sherbear | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:04 am     Another point is those little dogs have sharp claws on their feet when your coming in the door. They hurt. I saw her trying to get him down so she could go to her Mom. But once again perception is everything. Some people are blinded by their preceived opinions of Amy and their blind faith in Dani. |
Fanny | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:06 am     Amy rocks! No one has ever swept out of the house with the style and class Amy did. Amy's reunion with Baby Bucky was totally fine, in my opinion. I'd bet my 401K that within seconds of the camera cutting back to Julie that Amy and her mom exchanged warm greetings. Interesting that due simply to the arbitrary timing of a camera shot all these emotions get unleashed (no pun intended) in here. Good grief!!!!! |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:18 am     <enters, throwing chocolate treats in room for everyone> |
Bernie | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:21 am     Gobble gobble, slurp, slurp, mmmmmmmmm .... WOOF! |
Sherbear | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:22 am     Just don't throw chocolate to the doggy's Lance it can kill them. But yummy! |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:24 am     Didin't notice any dogs in here |
Geogirl | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:24 am     Amen Fanny!!! *geogirl scurries over to Lance and grabs one of the chocolate treats |
Fabnsab | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:26 am     I knew if I came to this board, I would find this thread. Like Tootseug said, Amy has made mention of a less than grand relationship with her mother. To Amy who feels very little unconditional love in life, I believe, here comes this dog who is like her child, barrelling through to get to her because he loves her THAT much. She has had a hard, emotional time in that house and Bucky is the one thing who has been there for her so she takes comfort in him. I do not expect everyone to agree with this. I always have problems with people when I speak of my cats(7). They are the first ones that greet me at the door and they're the last things I see when I shut it. I would risk my life for them because human or not, they have enriched my life and have loved me. Who is to say that, because we are human, we are superior? They are innocent helpless creatures who don't do nearly the bad things we humans do in this world. Why are we so superior to them and why do we matter more? |
Floresmama | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:26 am     My point was that she looked to the dog first instead of the mother who raised her. I grew up with lots of pets. Dogs, cats, & birds. I currently have 2 cats and never in a million years have they or would they ever take precedent over any of my family members. A dog is just a dog. It is not a human being and no amount of dressing him up and calling him her baby will make him human. That being said I am not now nor have I ever been an Amy hater. I just have thought alot of things she has done have been very shallow. I am the mother of a 3 childre one of them a 24 year old girl and I have some experience in this area. I guess her parents could be at fault for not raising her to have more feelings for others especially family. |
Sherbear | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:31 am     Hmmm perceptions! |
Cmore | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:31 am     I won't judge this event, but to put it in my perspective....... I love my dogs, they live with me, eat with me, sleep with me and in fact are at my feet, under my computer desk as i write this message. They are part of my family and I see much more of them than I do my Mother. An animals love for a person or persons is very true and unconditional, a very rare thing that most humans are incapable of. I hope this gives you some idea of my complete admiration and love of man's best friend. However, if i had been away for quite some time and happened to meet my best friend and my Mother at the same time, There is no question or doubt in my mind that I would seek my mothers warm hug and greeting first. I know my dog wouldn't hold it against me, but I am also quite sure that my Mothers feelings would be crushed and rightly so. As much as I love my animals, it pales in comparision to my love for my parents, my family or my wife. |

To put a little dumb animal who is peeing all over himself over a hug for her Mother was just the last in a long line of shallow moments. << Yikes... I am sorry to say this but I think you just want to dislike Amy and therefore will find anything you can to validate that to you. Reality is that she simply couldnt get to her mom, with Bucky in the way and carrying on the way he was. He was sooo happy and excited to see her and you could see how much love was in his lil' heart for his "mom". Besides that, Amy probably got to hugging her own mom just as the camera turned to Julie Chen. Who cares who hugged who 1st anyway? Maybe YOU are keeping a score but I am sure Amy's mom didnt think anything of it at all. IN fact, she kept at a distance so that Bucky could be the 1st to greet her. That;s all it was ... plain and simple. If you dont like Amy, so be it. But dont start "looking" for stuff to validate it that just dont exist. |
Car54 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:55 am     LOL, Bastable, I said the same thing. It is really pretty simple...her mom was not the one peeing on her feet. Sheesh. |
Guiltyviewer | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 12:57 am     Lance, I'd like to officially report that someone who shall remain nameless (it was Bernie) "accidentally" ate one of MY chocolates (you don't want to get between her and a Hershey bar...it can get ugly). Just so you know to toss extras my way next time you're passing out the goodies! Thanks *Guilty wanders off licking fingers, smacking lips, looking over shoulder for signs of Bernie..* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ryn---had to laugh! Same call at my house too. Today, BBCH...tomorrow, Psychic Hotline?! |
Riviere | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 01:08 am     I also knew somebody would find fault with Amy's very gracious exit, and make much ado about nothing. To me it didn't seem at all that Amy deliberately snubbed her mom to greet the puppy who couldn't wait to be with her again! My dogs, big Greyhounds, wouldn't let me near anyone if I was reunited with them after many weeks until I gave them a few secs of attention first, it's a dog thing. My family would understand and even laugh and share all the reunion happiness! It's not that I prefer my critters to humans, it's a fact dogs love unconditionally and don't hold a grudge long, but they're like children needing immediate attention while humans know they can wait. A frisky puppy, Bucky was overjoyed to see his 'mama' after wondering if he'd ever see her again, Amy's mom knew the facts and probably she brought Bucky knowing it would make Amy happy! I haven't always liked Amy's antics but she did the same as I'd have done. A few seconds comforting the puppy before she hugged her mom doesn't make Amy an ungrateful unloving daughter or bad human being, it showed me her compassion for her dear pet, if she'd kicked the puppy out of the way to reach her mom first I'd have taken a dim view of it.. Amy's actions seemed so natural, quite the oppsite of my husband's one time boss. He was a ship captain and everytime the ship departed he would shake his wife's hand and hug his 7 yr old, then on return he'd hug his 7 yr old and give his wife a brief hug afterward. The 7 yr old was a very lovely German Shepherd... |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 01:15 am     <spreads more chocolate treats over whole room--lots for everyone > |
Bernie | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 02:07 am     Gobble, gobble, gobble....Sluuuurp, growl, hehehehe.... I got your Choccies, again Guilty! Slinking off with tail between legs, slobbering all the way  |
Sunflowr | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 03:44 am     let me at them chocolates!!! ;D |
Letmeinthere | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 04:01 am     I just thought it was hysterical.. the line from Amy, "he pee-pee'd all over himself". Glad her mom didn't get that excited. Cute moment! |
Squaredsc | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 05:09 am     well adding my 2 cents, my dog is as precious as one of my own children. and i probably would have hugged him first also. and he would have gotten to me first. when the 4 of us come home, my dog runs past my 2 boys and d.h. and gets to me. there is nothing wrong with that. i love my dog, mainly 'cause out of my other men, he is the only one who listens to me.<grin> ok trying for levity, but still, my dog is my baby and he would have gotten the first hug and kiss, does this mean somethings wrong with me, he** no. does this mean something is wrong with you 'cause you don't hug your pet first, he** no. |
Twiggyish | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 05:28 am     Yup if I was Amy, I'd hug my puppy, too. That little guy had his tail going full speed. She and mom can have lots of quality time together later. |
Secretsmile | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 05:58 am     I wondered about the same thing...then my husband came home and our dog was so happy to see him, he said hi to her first and had to settle her down before I got my hug and kiss! ROFLMAO, Thank Gawd, we weren't on TV, people would have called him shallow! |
Earthmother | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 06:02 am     Give the girl a break..she tried to get to her mom and the little fella was all over her. I thought it was cute. He is her little baby and hopefully she will love her children as much. |
Rnr60 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 06:17 am     This was a no win situation for Amy. She would have been blasted if she had ignored the happy little dog to go to her mother first. Can you just imagine- it would have been, can you believe that Amy, her dog was SO happy to see her, and she ignored it? Give the girl a break. |
