[DerbyLayne]

Ok, I know it sounds silly but I barely get a hello when I walk in the door. He jumps all over my husband, and freaks out when he leaves. He won't snuggle/sleep with me, but will with my husband (on the couch during day/nap time). Just yesterday I tried to snuggle up with him because he was in MY SPOT on the bed and he GROWLED at me! That is the first time Derby has ever done that! He even sat on me and whined the entire time because as soon as I moved he went into my spot.

I don't get it.

I am the only one who bathes and grooms him. I give him lots of love too! I pick him up and snuggle him, and I want him around... I take him for long walks when i can. My husband does take him out for walks more, and plays with him more, because I work more than he does, but is this a guy thing? Derby likes him more because he's a guy?


My husband wanted a big dog originally, and I said I wouldn't even consider getting a dog unless we had a smaller dog and we got Derby. He's a mixed breed (which we know now), but he's 10 pounds of cuteness as far as I'm concerned! I just want the dog that I picked out to LOVE ME more!!!

Here is a pic of us, and he was fine with my husband on the bed... but I had to get him to stay with me just get my husband to take a pic!!

Does any one else have this experience?

I'm starting to feel unloved by my own dog!

I want to tell him, hey: I chose you!!! but I joke that he's my husband's dog because of this whole situation... it's sad, really!!
