Suitsmefine.....this is a battle you are going to lose. I really can't believe you took the time to make a Thread for this. Threads like this make me come in only to see who made them. Of course I do have to state my Opinion also, but on this one you are wayyyyyyyyyyy off base!!

JMHO

Having trouble with getting to the site, and from place to place, it's taking forever, anyone else?

Anyone who's been away from a dog knows that you have to get the greeting out of the way before you can get to the human. Amy was tripping over him, and since the camera cut away so fast, how the heck do we know that Amy didn't give her Mom a big hug as soon as she got the dog under control? It tells me a lot that her little dog was so nuts to get to her-I'll trust a dog's judgement anyday!
This is just nitpicking, IMHO, and understandable, since we only have these four to niggle about at the endgame, but let Amy go and live her life, she's gone from the house. She can be a topic of convo when she comes back for the jury vote next week, if needs must.
I'll say one last thing. Yesterday when they had that convo about trust in the living room, she said she loves her Mom, but doesn't trust her, because she doesn't keep confidences, while her Dad has never let her down in that way. There's no such thing as a perfect family, and to extrapolate from a few seconds of a phone call seen on TV of people unaccustomed to being in the public eye, is ludicrous.
Does every woman here tell their mothers everything? I loved my Mam with all my heart, and she has been gone for over twenty years, but I didn't tell her everything either. So am I bad, and did we have a bad relationship? NO!

I also think she did right hugging the dog first. Amy has spent time away from home before in college and such so she is used to being away from her mother. She wasn't used to being away from her baby. My dog's (poodle-pom and mini schnauzer) get very excited when I come back from taking the garbage out. I can't imagine if I were gone for 10 weeks. Dogs love unconditionally and don't understand that someone will be back. Gotta love the little critters. peace

If you have an ecstatic little dog on the floor, I think Mom totally understands that you'd want to scoop him up..

As for the thread, all I can say is.. it figures
:(

Someone leaves the house with total class, no whining, snivelling, complaining, grace and a smile, so of course people just have to find something to hate.

Yah ... I agree with Bastable. If Amy's Mom had been peeing on the floor, I'm sure Amy would have comforted her first. No disrespect intended to Amy's Mom - I'm just trying to prove the point of how ridiculous this Thread is.

SuitsMeFine, I think your daughter is sweet to say what she said about you, but we have to cut Amy a little slack here.

Bernie, I'm having the same trouble navigating the board, too....has to be all the traffic flooding the board now I imagine.

Good post, as usual! Miss doing the late shift with you on the feeds...hope to resume soon before the house is empty!! Hugs :)

Amy's mom seemed fine with it, kind of hanging back while the two said hello. The dog WAS going nuts, which I thought was really sweet considering he's only a puppy and she's been gone so long. They must have formed a really strong bond! Besides, I don't know about you, but when I go visit my sister, her two dogs are all over the place with excitment to see me. Have you tried hugging someone when dogs are going crazy all around your feet? You can't get NEAR 'em! LOL

I'm with the "give Amy a break" crowd! Amy hugged her mom, never fear. For all we know the producers TOLD her mom to let the dog go first so they could capture an Amy/Bucky reunion on cam, given how Amy has pined for her "baby".

I thought Amy handled herself beautifully tonight. Let her have her moment without picking over every nuance for fault!

Katrina -

Couldn't have said it better! Your words are my exact thoughts on the matter.

Jaysgal

I have to be honest here (not that I've not been honest in the past. LOL!): I actually thought that that was weird. It wasn't so much that she didn't hug her mum first as it was that she spent enough time with her dog that she could have passed on quickly to hug her mum or something. It almost seemed as though they never had eye contacts. The captioning looked a lot like housemaid carrying one's pet for one. So, one would hardly even know that she and her mum had a relationship.

That said, I really don't care. It's her relationship with her mum. She's spoken badly of her mum before, so I would not the least be surprised if she hardly cared about her mum's presence. It isn't any of my biz at the end.

Oh, is it just me or does anyone else think that Amy's got taste in dressing? She beat other houseguests when it comes to dressing. She dresses nicely; my kind of taste. (I guess Marcellas' got taste in fashion too, which would be one of their attractions to each other.) The one that got me rolling my eyes, figuratively, was when Amy was all dressed up for the luxury trip to the sea. Jason was so shabbily dressed. Either Amy overdressed or Jason has shabby taste when it comes to fashion.

Well, you have to admit, seeing a dog pee all over the floor is a first for Big Brother.

I just kept thinking, I feel sorry for the production person who has to clean up the pee. Bucky may be Amy's "child", but I can't see her bending down with a paper towel to wipe up her "baby's" mess.

Well EXCUSE ME PEOPLE, Ilove my pets and I love my HUMANS and if it came down to a choice MY HUMANS would win... As far as Amy's relationship with her Mom is concerned... been there , done that, and HUMANS WIN!!! I mean No disrespect to the pet owners out there but give ME a break... there IS A DIFFERENCE!!! I agree that people who do not have children feel that those PETS are their children, but once you have , or bring children into your home, the DIFFERENCE is automatic, This is coming from a woman who was not even supposed to TRY to have children...We thought our cat was our child for years before our "natural"( No fertilization experts needed) children came along, I understand both sides, but I would never have treated My MOM that way..JMHO!!! I also count my blessings and thank God everyday for the babies we have, but when it comes down to it MY Family comes first, peeing dog and all ....

Thanks, Braveheart. Nice overlapping thoughts with you!

Scorpiomoon, do you think it will be the same luckless staffer who had to clean up the waterbed last year?

Not to be gross, but I'd rather wipe up that dog's pee any day, than clean some public washrooms.

Hi, Guiltyviewer, I hope so too, if the board lets me! I'm dying to get into the threads but since the show ended I'm stymied! I'm going to take a break and 'try again later'!

Scorpiomoon, she lives alone with her dog, which uses the bathroom floor to widdle on-Amy said so-so I expect she's well used to wiping up messes.
Before I became a Mom, I thought diapers would be the death of me, but it's funny, when my first baby was born, I never even cared-in fact, I was all proud when diapers were filled when they needed to be! LOL! Love does that to a person

I would have hugged my dog Rascal first and if it were my mom leaving the house with me meeting her there she would have done the same. Like others have said -- adults understand -- pets (especially puppies) and kids don't.

I could understand if Amy were an 11 year old child she would hug her mom first. But come on, she is an adult who has been away from mom and dad for lengths of time in the past. Mom got her hug I am sure but coddle the puppy first.

Frankly, if I was in a flood and could save my cats or my neighbors, I would save my cats. They are my friends. They are my babies. Why wouldn't I save them first? So they're not "technically" human, who cares? They are more human than most humans. They have a soul and have feelings, and I love them. So why the h*ll should I not give them the priority they deserve?

Katrina: LOL!

For everyone else:

Here's a theory (I don't think anyone has mentioned...if so, sorry for the repetition):

If we were to do a slow-mo replay, we'd clearly see the dog got to Amy BEFORE her mother did. I don't think Amy chose her mom over her dog, I just think the dog got to her first.

Now, if, say Amy's mom walked in first and someone on staff came in after her carrying Bucky and Amy ignored her mom and went to the dog, then we'd really have something to debate.

I so agree with you, Suitsmefine. Unfortunately, most people hold on strongly to the opposite position, so I doubt anyone would be persuaded.

For anyone of the opposite opinion, I suppose if you were in a position to be saved versus a pet, you would sacrifice yourself and have the Samaritan save a pet first.

My specie comes first, just as other species prioritise the interest of their species.

I've only posted on this boards...what, 2 or 3 times? I'm a chronic lurker. But this post just aggravated me. I'm assuming you aren't a personal friend of the Crews family, so you have no idea what their family dynamic is, do you? Some families are not publically demonstrative.

Jaysgal, this was hardly a life or death situation. No fair extrapolating her behavior from this situation to that one. I'm allergic to pets and not a personal fan of little yappy ones, but I saw no problem with Amy's behavior in that brief moment tonight and hardly think it demonstrates that she would be pushing her mom out of a life raft or anything. Heck, she wouldn't even have pushed any of the other houseguests overboard if she'd been there for this HOH competition.

" She's had Mom for years...Bucky for months, she hugs, kisses Bucky , ignores Mom ....Are you saddened? "

Well, personally, I truly believe that if Amy's dog had just walked in calmly and it had been her *mother* (rather than Bucky) that had been so excited that she was practically vibrating as she bounced around the floor peeing all over the stage....in that case I think that Amy would have gone to her mother first.

Seems to me that little Bucky was in need of more *immediate* attention than Mom was.

LOL:)
