| aaawwwww....she loves ME Ok, I know you will think I am silly but I am so incredibly happy. I have realized over the last few days that Maggie really does love me. now..this is a big deal because both of our other dogs think my hubby is GOD. even my cocker, who I had for 4.5 years before he came along and she was my little side kick. she now prefers HIM. literally, if he gets up, she is right there at his feet. He asks me all the time if I think she wants him to shove her up his butt. LOL she is literally right up his fanny all the time. it is kinda sad because she has always just adored me. if we had company, she would be sitting on their lap just staring at me. and if i moved, or looked at her just right, she would jump down and dart right over to me. she adored me. but hubby came along and she just kicked me to the curb. So, when I got maggie, I was just scared to death that she would be the same. I mean, the other 2 doggies are like that...why wouldn't she be??? But I have realized lately that maggie does prefer me. she watches me all the time. If I move, she moves. She gets so excited when I come near her. If I am out of the room and walk in, she comes running jumping wanting me to hold her. she cuddles with ME on the couch yes...this is a big deal to me. I love her so much and am so glad she seems to adore me as much as I adore her. yeah, I know...I'm sappy.

| Ah, I understand -- it is nice to be loved, especially when we carve out such a big space in our hearts for these little ones. 3 of our 4 sit with my husband when he is in his chair. The 4th is not a cuddler and prefers her independence (a dachshund). I was hoping the Yorkies would be MY lap dogs, but they gradually have just steered over to my husband. My mom and dad have the same situation. My mom and I have a theory. They love everyone the same but the men seem to stay seated longer. We are always jumping up and down to get something, do all those little jobs that require us not to sit still long. They learn where they will be undisturbed the longest. So, I finally got past feeling abandoned. They are just as happy to see me when I return and give me lots and lots of attention/puppy kisses. But once the evening winds down, they all find their way to my husband. He is now glad I got him that humongous chair and ottoman. LOL!

BANNED! | We are always jumping up and down to get something, do all those little jobs that require us not to sit still long. They learn where they will be undisturbed the longest. I totally agree with this statement, so don't feel too un-loved and abandoned. I think it's more of a comfort issue with these little guys. They love you very much, but they love comfort just as much,lol!!!! |

| with my cocker, daisy, i think it is more that my hubby is the one that would give treats all the time and I'm not Not so much anymore because we have stopped rewarding with treats but he used to be big on giving treats. He has also always given his dog food from his plate and when he is in the kitchen, would slip food to the dogs. daisy knows this... but maggie has never really been given treats or table foods. from the time we brought her home, we stopped giving treats for going potty. we wanted to train her with praise as her reward. this is how my cocker was trained as well, and she was such a wonderful dog. very easy to train. His min pin was trained strictly with treats. I wanted to train maggie the way daisy was trained so we agreed to stop with the treats. They still get "goodies" throughout the day at random times but not as a reward for going to the bathroom, but just because we feel like giving them a goodie the goodies are usually carrots. But when hubby is home, daisy follows him around like his shadow. she is black so we call her his shadow all the time when he is gone, she follows me around and keeps track of my every move. Maggie does this all the time...even if Jim is home, she still prefers to be with Mommy. I think that if Jim started giving maggie treats and foods like he did with his dog and daisy, she might abandon me...so I forbid him he is NOT allowed to steal my baby he knows this..and he fears the wrath LOL. I told hubby when we first got maggie that he is not allowed to make her love him more. I am the one that fought tooth and nail and begged for her. he was against getting another dog. TOTALLY against it. I wanted her...for many years. so he is not allowed to taker her from me LOL honestly, he knows how it kinda broke my heart to realize that daisy preferred him over me. she had always been my baby. now, if he is home, she will literally wait outside the bathroom door for him instead of sitting on the couch with me. she is constantly wanting to be right next to him. I have always babied her and taken such good care of her so it was sad when I realized that he was her favorite. They say dogs are a good judge of character, I guess this means I have a good hubby
