Thanks everyone. Curly made it clear from the beginning that she was MY dog and would be near me most of the time but she always, until recently, would run and play with the kids too.
She actually belongs to my son Jack so he has always fed her, picked up after her, loved on her, etc. The teenagers play with her a lot also. Just lately, if I leave the room, she runs to be near me. I just love this little girl but sometimes I need to NOT have her under my feet. If I put her in the other room she cries, if I send her out to play with Jack, she cries and just keeps coming back to the door where I am. Silly girl. If I can't work, we can't eat...GO PLAY!
