Pause for morning hugs

For the past few months I noticed this little dog was doing the strangest thing, she stopped at the bedroom door and just watched me. I'd hold her leash in my hand, call her name several times, and she'd just watch me...with her head tilted to the side of course. This morning as I got her leash for her morning walk I looked her and it finally hit me, was she pausing for a morning hug? My head then tilted to the side. I wasn't sure what she wanted, so I walked up to her and as I towered over her she didn't run under the bed (as she does when she thinks it's time for me to go to work and leave her).  I reached down and as I bent over she rolled over for a belly rub.  And after a quick tummy scratch she jumped in my arms for a hug.

It was like she said, "How many college degrees did it take you to figure that out mama?!?!"
