I hear you about the dog... ugh... funny the things that can get to us huh? Glad T-day was not too bad. I felt the same way... hard... but not as hard as it could have been.
Anyway, I don't like given advice because I am such a newb but I think I would act as if I am happy to see her. Not overly so, and I probably would not initiate a hug or anything, but I would definitely be pleasant. I am sure you will be able to tell in a few seconds what she is feeling.
That is just me though... hopefully someone else chimes in!
