Welcome to the club... LOL!!! They are just such velcro babies, aren't they!!!
I have my 'posse' following me every step I do and I learned not to lift my feet up anymore in case some paws are around...
As for leaving the house I established a strict routine with treats and repeating: Babies gotta stay mommie gotta go shopping. Stay and be good.
That workes pretty well...
Oh.. and THANKS HEAVEN I only have one 'whiner'!!!!
