Ally was getting like that and I worried that she was too attached and would be lonely/devistated when my older pek died (soon) and I left the house to go somewhere. We adopted Tia this past Easter to keep her company. (I am home all day.) Well, it kinda worked. Ally grew up fast and has a sister to play with, instead of mom all the time. Both are attached to me though. If I am in the house, they will not go outside with my husband. If I am not, he said that they will. Ally stopped the shadowing thing, for the most part. She follows me, but is not at my heals, like Tia. She doesn't want to battle Tia for my attention. She doesn't try to open the bathroom door and get in....she leaves it to Tia.. Go figure. I kinda cured one that was too attached and created another. I love them both and have tried to make my leaving the house not a big deal. My husband is working hard to make time to play with them and I let him give them their treats at night. We make a big deal when daddy comes home and they run to the door. When Ally's busy bone is empty, she will actually go find my daddy and throw it at him. I think it's working! |
