I love that my yorkie follows me around. I walk around the house in circles sometimes to show my husband that she likes me more

she is ALWAYS my little shadow. If she's not at my feet, something bad must have happened. (Or my DH has accidentally shut her in my bedroom, lol)
She does whine and bark sometimes, but I love it because that's her way of 'asking for permission' to jump up. I find this hilarious. I never taught it to her, but if I sit down on the couch or a chair, she'll sit at my feet and bark bark bark until I say "Ok come on up" and then she'll jump onto my lap happy as a clam.
