My family used to have a yellow lab. He was a great dog... very intelligent and friendly. It was amazing just how much english he understood; he even tried speaking it sometimes. When we came home from long trips he would say "where were you?" (more like "wherrrre werrrre woooo?"). And anyone who believes animals can't have emotions has never met a lab.

Our dog is a mutt, but looks like a black Lab. When we come home she says exactly the same thing!
I've owned cats before too. Or, rather, they have owned me.

When our dog said it you could tell he was upset that we weren't home in time to feed him his dinner. He was really telling us off! Sort of like how an angry wife might say it if her husband wasn't home on time.

My cat can be a real nag. Anytime I'm not doing what she thinks I should be doing she'll start screaming at me.  It like she's saying "drag your butt away from that computer and come upstairs and pay attention to me!"  She's cute but can be really annoying at times.
