Katie is VERY attached to me - I think she feels like nothing bad can happen to her when she's with me. I give her extra attention (and protection) because she's just so darn small. If I go too far from her, she whimpers and runs after me. About 2 weeks ago, Jim and I went w/ my parents and sister to a street fair on 7th Avenue in Brooklyn. My mom was holding Katie and my dad was holding Codie - my dogs love their grandparents! Anyway, I stopped to look at a stand selling jewelry and my mom walked ahead of me. Katie apparently lost sight of me and began whimpering and trying to squirm out of my mom's arms. My mom came running back to me and handed Katie to me. Katie was all upset but it only took a few kisses to calm her down. Now Katie LOVES my mom (and dad) to death but she just flips out when she's away from me. Codie, on the other hand, was blocks behind w/ my dad and he didn't care one way or the other. He was totally calm and relaxed. I guess just 2 different personalities. So Katie knows I am the boss (and mama) and Codie does to, he just has a different way of looking at me LOL |
