Swan and Mark I do count my blessing having two great men in my life. I would be devastated if Jack and Buster did not get along. Luckily Buster has enough love to share and work us for extra treats and belly rubs.

Bailey loves Natalie and me. But he loves her more. I'm fine with it. When Natalie is out and about, Bailey stays with me in my office. At night he generally sits next to her in the den. And at bedtime, he sleeps right next to her. No biggie. I know he loves me.

I know this sounds selfish but I don't feel like I'm getting back the love I deserve. Why should be reap the rewards all the time for no effort put in?

This probably sounds pathetic, but I just wanted to seeing anyone else has a similar situation? Where are I going wrong?

Honey is like that too because my fiance rubs her and spoils her. It's almost like sometimes we play good cop bad cop
She tolerates me brushing her hair and teeth etc. But when she's done she's goes to her daddy and play and cuddle him. That is until I give her the sad puppy face... it's almost like a trick she does

I do understand how you feel. I use to feel a bit jealous ( as weird as that may be) that when ever my hubby or daughter or son- in law ( anyone but me) came home both of my babies would get so excited, but when I come home, not as much. they did if I was gone a long time, but still not like with them. but then I realized what it was. I am home with them pretty much 24/7. Its not often I go anywhere and when I do its just quick trips, like to the grocery store or something. They see me ALL OF THE TIME.

but with the other members of my family its different. they work all day, or are off doing other things. and even when they are home, they are often in their bedrooms with the doors shut and the pups cant get to them. They dont see them and get to be with them even half the amount they do me. So its only natural they would be more excited to see them when they do and want to be with them. Its not that my pups like them better or love them more. Its simply that they love my family members as well as me, but dont get the chance to be with them like they do me. For lack of a better way to say it, seeing mom is nothing new, seeing the other family members is.

I know its hard not to feel a little hurt, but, the fact that you are feeling that way can only make things worse IMO. Your baby can likely sense that. My suggestion is to try to relax and not let it bother you so much. You may find that is the key to your baby coming back to you so to speak.

LOL Is that what's going on here? LOL Gucci is just working us? LOL I guess the old guy has figured out some new tricks then. He just makes me work harder for his affection! LOL Until mamma leaves the house, then he's putty in my hands.

Sounds like my skinkids

No really I feel your pain. It maybe because you DO everything for her and spending time with her "daddy" is a treat. Hummm that doesn't sound very logical does it?

My Phoebe was like that for awhile, in fact she would actually run away from me! I think it was because I did all the "bad stuff" to her (bathing, brushing, meds, eye drops after surgery etc). She has now come to realize that the "bad stuff" isn't sooo bad after all. What helped us REALLY bond was our 2x daily training sessions. She absolutely LOVES them. I make a point of taking each pup upstairs (alone) 2x daily for a 5-10 minute training sessions. We work on the basics, sit, stay, down, paw, rollover etc. She gets so excited to "go upstairs", that she watches me like a hawk. She follows me everywhere to make sure she doesn't miss a trip upstairs lol.

I'm new here and I have the same problem.
I have always had gun dogs and then we had a mostly border collie that someone dumped.

We put our chocolate lab Joe down in May. We watched my wife's sisters yorkie while they went on vacation and then they decided they couldn't keep her.

My wife wanted her and I said no I don't want any dog right now. We lost all three of our dogs in three years. One a year due to age. First time we haven't had a dog in our lives.

Anyway, my wife wanted this dog very much.
We took her and the dog attached itself to me. If I am around, it won't have anything to do with my wife. She has cried her eyes out over this. If I am not around, it's fine.

The second I come home, the dog is at my side and it is killing my wife.

Thanks for all your replies! I'm glad I'm not the only one that struggles with this.

Just a little update, we have tried swapping around and balancing good and bad things with her. Obviously I still do most of them, but Ben has given brushing her a go a few times and at the park and at home I've been trying to play with her more and be the one to throw the ball.

I think she still loves daddy more right now but I have noticed an improvement over the last week. My mood helped too I think. Obviously I was annoyed and I think she knew, so I've tried to be extra happy and playful and fun around her and she actually picked me to sit next to last night! Curled up next to me like we were spooning!

Cutest. Made me feel good too that it was me and not Ben!


Xx

Boy has this ever been the case at our house! Our Cozy was my idea, my puppy, my sweetie----husband had NO interest in even getting a dog, let alone bonding with one. Well, about 6 months after we got her (she's 14 now) he had some minor surgery that kept him home for a couple of weeks while I worked, and they bonded in a very big way---so for the last 13 1/2 years she's been HIS. I can be gone for days and come home and she's like "oh, hey, did you go somewhere?" But he walks out to check the mail and when he comes back in it's like Johnny's come home from the war!!!
When Cozy was 2, we got Peanut and he was always more mine. Followed me around, cuddled with me, slept on my head. We recently lost Peanut which has left a giant hole in my life---so heading to pick up my new little BOY this weekend. I'd rather have Peanut back but since that's not an option I'll pour all this free-floating affection onto a new puppy.


Incidentally, I absolutely love YT -- so happy I found it. And although I haven't posted a lot am absolutely addicted to reading through the posts. Have learned so much and appreciate the (mostly by far) kindness and compassion of you all.

lol We make jokes in our house about this subject... Guinness is a HUGE mama's boy, he might cuddle or hang out with whoever is home BUT as soon as I walk in the door he is up my butt... now Stella could care less if I ever came home I think but she stays right up my boyfriends butt lol I think in the two years I have had her she might has cuddled with me twice and that is only because she was trying to get me to share ice cream

I have come to love this little mutt but she is the most needy dog I have ever owned.
She is also the most affectionate , playful dog I have ever owned.

If my wife comes home before me, she acts disappointed. When I come home she is so excited that I make sure I am in the kitchen because when I pick her up, she pees every time. Someone told me it was a sign of submission.

That's how it's always worked out for us (by us, I mean me and I suppose my ex-husband, my parents and my brother and SIL). The females seem to bond more with the men in the house, and the males are loyal to the women in the house. My Rosco, who was my first dog, was absolutely my shadow for his 13 years. I got him around the same time I started dating my (now ex) husband. My ex was always jealous that Rosco never paid him any mind at all. He would reluctantly listen to him if he called him, lol. Rosco would look up at me, as if to say, "sooo, do I really have to listen to him?"

Rosco's niece was my parent's dog, and she was absolutely attached to my dad. Now they have a male and he cannot get enough of my mom.

Between all of my family we've owned a dozen dogs and while there are exceptions, it does seem the gender rule still stands most of the time.
