What a good boy he is to come back home. And very nice of him to have a good sense of humor.
I used to watch the show "Pet Psychic" will Sonya Fitzpatrick. And there was one reading that really stuck with me. There was some kind of hound dog who said he didn't like it when his owner made fun of his ears. (She used to hold them out like wings and laugh about him being able to fly.) Ever since that I decided not to ever do something undignified to my dogs that would embarrass any of them. Not easy to do, mind you.
PS I know some people don't believe in animal communication, I was the same way. Then I learned how to listen to my dogs. Holy cow, it sure does explain lots of things. I don't do it much because I don't have much to ask. But, boy, when they want to be heard, they can be very loud.
