Tiger Waits by the Door Every Evening at Six
Every single evening at six o'clock, our poodle Tiger walks to the front door of our Lat Phrao flat, sits down facing the lock and waits. She does not bark. She does not whine. She just sits there with her head tilted like a tiny security guard.
At first we thought she was waiting for the cat, but it turns out she is simply waiting for my husband to come home from work. The moment she hears his key in the lock, her tail starts whipping so hard that it knocks over the umbrella stand. He says it is the best welcome he gets all day.
On weekends she has a different habit. She steals one sock from the laundry basket every time I turn around and hides it under the sofa. I have found seven so far, and I have a feeling there are more lurking down there. She is clever, bossy and completely adorable.
Honestly, the six o'clock ritual is my favourite part of the day now. Even when I come home late, I still see her sitting at the door, waiting for her favourite person to walk in.

ตอนแรกคงเป็นห่วงมากใช่ไหมคะ แต่การที่น้องรอทุกวันแบบนี้ แปลว่าเขาผูกพันกับบ้านมากเลย ไม่ต้องกังวลมากนะคะ

ไทเกอร์รอทุกวันตอนหกโมงเลยหรือครับ ตอนนี้ตั้งนาฬิกาไว้หรือเปล่าครับ

Our Yuzu does the same, sits by the door at six pm. We think it is the sound of the lift. Dogs know the schedule better than we do.

Tiger waiting by the door every evening at six is so sweet, and I can see why it worried you at first. Most of the time it just means they are waiting for their favourite person to come home.

Thanks for writing this, it made me smile. Dollar does a similar thing when someone is late coming home, so I know exactly that feeling.
