Well dang it, far be it for him to deny a doggo some smooches. He'll be sure to wash his face later, hopefully. "Is that right? You miss your step-daddy? Well I don't plan on going anywhere for a while." No one is immune from babytalking a dog. No one.

"I'll be happy for you to be in bed with me. It's been a little stressful lately, and I miss having someone warm to cuddle up to."
