The way your dog greets you, moved to an airport arrivals hall

Tank does the full production every time I come back from the SHOP. So I gave the performance the venue it deserves: arrivals hall, sliding doors, me just through them with a duffel bag, and Tank mid-launch across the polished floor — same flying ears, same everything, like I've been gone eleven months and not eleven minutes. My wife looked at it and said 'that's accurate.' Tweaked it with 'returning ship captain, dockside' and it got somehow MORE true.
