There’s nothing quite like coming home after a long day and being greeted by a furry ball of love. My Chow Chow, Cardo, has perfected this art, waiting by the door, wagging his fluffy tail, and making me feel like the most important person in the world. But behind those warm greetings, Cardo has a little quirk that makes me laugh and sometimes feel guilty. He expects me to bring him something from Pet Express every time I come home.
Cardo is more than just a pet; he’s family. His loyalty is unmatched, and his greetings at the door are the highlight of my day. Recently, I noticed a funny routine he’s developed. After welcoming me home, he often follows me into the kitchen and sits under my seat, looking up with those soulful eyes. It’s as if he’s silently asking, “Did you bring me something today?”
The truth is, I don’t always buy him essentials when I’m onsite. I make sure his stocks are never empty, but I only shop when he’s running low. Cardo doesn’t quite understand this logic, though. For him, the joy of receiving his favorite treats or toys is tied to my arrival. When I come home empty-handed, he seems a little sad, almost disappointed, even though he still has plenty of supplies.
It’s fascinating how pets can develop these expectations. Cardo has associated my return with gifts, and while I can’t always fulfill that, I admire how much he values the thought. His reaction reminds me of how deeply pets connect with us, not just through food or toys, but through the rituals we create together.
Despite his occasional “sad eyes,” Cardo’s love never wavers. He still curls up under my seat, keeping me company as I settle in after work. His presence is a gentle reminder that companionship is the greatest gift of all.
Cardo may not always get a Pet Express surprise when I walk through the door, but he always gets my love, attention, and care. And in return, he gives me loyalty, joy, and a daily reminder of what unconditional love looks like. Pets like Cardo teach us that while treats and toys are fun, it’s the bond we share that truly matters.

I remembered a movie called Magic to Win, I think the dog looks like your Cardo Sis. so fluffy so cute
Oh, really? Wow! Thank you, Sissy. 😍
That is really cute! I don't have a dog, but I used to grow up in a house that has dogs. Right now, I have six cats. It's true that it can be a bad thing to have furry friends in the house who are really looking forward to seeing you.
Indeed! Thank you! 😊
