   I don't know about anticipation but it's my experience that dog's have very   
   little sense of time.  If I walk up to the mailbox and back (less than 5   
   minutes) I get the same greeting as I do when I've been away all day.  So for   
   a dog, anything more than a    
   few minutes is roughly equivalent to "forever".
