Reilly and Camille know that "the tall guy" is a family friend and the driving instructor of "Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi". All that they care about, though, are the treats (one of which Camille is able to get) and attention (all of which Reilly still tries to block Camille from getting)—and, even though they get upset when "the tall guy" and "Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi" leave, they care about only when Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi" will be back (They know that "the tall guy" has to go to his own home after the driving lesson, though especially Reilly is of course hopeful that anyone who gives her treats and attention can stay for as long as possible.).
Two weeks ago, however, was only of the second time that they met "the tall guy". Meanwhile, "Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi" stated that, "It's like they know [exactly who's at the door when the doorbell rings on the weekends at about 5-6:30]." So, they now have an expectation that he'll be there every weekend (and of course may notice if he isn't.
(As Reillly and Camille demonstrate, puppies are indeed creatures of routine, no matter whether they're pre-adult, adult, or senior puppies!)
