Her whole life as a matter of fact - LOL

Mom as a higher life form has the ability to understand the situation. All Bucky knows is "it's the momma". Not only did Amy do the right thing, I'm sure Mom did not feel the least bit slighted.

Good grief. If Amy had hugged her mom and left the dog peeing and barking there'd be a thread about that.

Reading wayyyyyyyyyyy too much into a brief second on TV folks.

My thought: If anyone does wrong, is it everyone notices?

I think bringing the dog along was great! Mostly because she talked about him so much and the way that little guy went nuts was too funny. I think I saw momma for a brief second. Heck, Julie was laughing too.

oh good grief! I knew I'd see this thread on the board. The puppy was freaking out it was so excited! It was about to choke itself on it's collar cuz it wanted to get to Amy so bad. Amy had to react and try to get a hold of him which proved to be hard cuz he was peeing all over the place cuz he was so excited.

She reacted like any animal lover would have done in the same situation. Calm the dog down first and then hug mom.

How did I know someone would start a thread about this, yes she hugged her dog first, it would have been pretty hard not to the dog was all over her, if she would have headed for her mom the dog would have probably wrapped itself around her legs and tripped her.

I personally great my dog first when I get home, everyone else is after that.

Yes she hugged her dog first? So what? The dog was OBVIOUSLY trying to get mom's attention. The dog would not understand any delay in seeing mom. All Amy has talked about is seeing Bucky. Did you honestly think she'd NOT hug him first?

I know this happens every year about this time, but it seems that people just WANT to find the least little negative thing about any of the houseguests, and then blow it up all outta proportion.

Maybe someone should email Amy's mom and ask HER if it bothered her that Amy hugged her little baby first? I'm guessing that Mom thought it was just fine.

Her mom has talked with her on more than one occassion since she went into the house. The poor dog only knew that it's master was missing. My dog behaives the same whenever I have to go out of town. I think what Amy did was politically correct in everyway and I don't even like her! LOL

I'm a stay at home Mom.

Everyday when my husband gets home from work, our little doxie rushes to the door. (do NOT be in the way..very dangerous!)

Copper of course gets lovin first, then my husband asks the kids how school was. THEN comes over and gives me a kiss.

Natural progression of things and no one has EVER accused my husband of being shallow just because he gives attention first to the member of our family with the least amount of patience.

Has it been established that this was Amy"s actual mother, not a step? When they did that phone call to Amy's family, and I got a good look at them, the first thing I wondered was if Amy was adopted. She looks nothing like any of them. Where did she get those good looks? Also didnt Amy mention once how her mother let her wait hours with a broken arm? (as a child I think)

As a mother..one of the greatest gifts you can give your child is the ability to love..

I remember the first time my son showed his love to someone other that *me*..For a parent to see love & compassion coming out of their child..gosh..there are just no words to describe it..it just fills your heart where you didn't know it could expand anymore..

I used to have a dog..I loved little Sandi as if she were my own child..(basically..she was my child..lol)..a few times my Mom had to watch her when I had to go away..Sandi always did just what Bucky did..was so excited to see me ( and me her!!!)..never did it take away from any feeling from my Mom..nor was it a "I love my dog more so I'll greet her first" moment..never even thought about it until this thread..My mother understood this love I had for my "child"..and was never offended..

If this situation were my son & his puppy..I would not be offended or saddened..if he were to greet his puppy first..as a parent..I rejoice every time I see love coming from my child..Shoot..I'd probably be carrying napkins cleaning up the piddle while my son was enjoying his reunion..

My Schnauzer goes insane when I walk in the front door and will not shut up until I stoop down to pet him and let him lick my face at least once. It doesn't matter if I walk in the door once or ten times a day...same thing. Lol In fact, if I stop to talk with my daughter before going through the routine with my dog, she begs me to pet the dog so he'll shut up. Lol So I totally understood why Amy petted Bucky before interacting with her mom!

It doesn't matter if she was adopted or step. Her mom probably knew it would make Amy very happy to see her puppy. Mom knows that she is loved and doesn't worry about being hugged first or last.

If Amy's Mom had been running around, wagging her tail and pee peeing on the floor, I'm sure Amy would have given her more immediate attention.

Little Bucky stole the scene, and deserved all the "face time" he got. I thought it was a delightful reunion.

I'm certain that Mom understood, and got a huge hug from Amy with many thanks for bringing Bucky with her.

(I posted this in another thread (closed because of the similarity to this one) hope it's ok to repost it here)

I would have hugged and greeted the dog first too.

The dog was happy, anxious and excited to see Amy. The mom was calm and cool. Yes- of course- greet the dog first to calm him down.

ps- <>. Bucky the dog- unconditional love.

Amy has no kids, so her dog is like her child. If your Mom and kid walked in the room and your child was jumping and screaming "MOMMY!!!!" and your Mom was standing behind smiling at the excitement and love your child was showing for you who do you think your Mom would want you to hug first??????

Katlady-I have schnauzers too! :-) They go completely nuts when my husband gets home and he has NO CHOICE but to give them love-I enjoy watching it and in no way do I feel left out. It's a very sweet thing to see. They aren't DUMB animals like someone said earlier either. They are intelligent and sentient beings.

Since it looks like everyone who needed to vent about being upset with Amy & Bucky has vented, how about we rename this thread the I Love Bucky thread. He doesn't appear to have one yet and I think his cameo appearance was definitely thread-worthy.

I nominate Bucky for the Most Exuberant Show of Loving His Mamma award.

Mnkygrrrl, I have two Schnauzers. The younger one is more psycho than the other, though. He's the one who won't stop barking until I give him attention. Lol The older one doesn't bark at all, but she prances in tight little circles around me when I come into the house. Everyone says I should put her on Letterman because it's so funny. :) If I ever met a man who was so happy to see me, I'd marry him. LOL My Schnauzers are the smartest animals I have ever owned, even though my three cats would probably argue about that... :)

I think this thread is ridiculous!! It's one thing to comment on the events that happen within the house and I'm all for everyone stating their opinions. But to base Amy's relationship with her mother (and any other HUMAN) on 10 seconds just blows my mind!!

Kat-I have two also! One is 5 and one is just a year. They are mini's. I feel the same way-they are sooo smart!! One day I would love a giant but they need room!!! My younger one is crazy too! She loves to growl and play. They are my kids so I know how Amy feels (trying to stay on subject! :-) I wish I could post some pics! Can you?
