My little Gracie has been my little shadow since I brought her home. My daughter moved back home a couple of months ago and Gracie just loves her. She gets all excited when my daughter comes home and hangs out with her for a while. She even goes in her room with her and sits on the bed with her and plays under the covers. I thought at first I was losing her but Gracie was enjoying herself so I let it go. Well, now that the novelty has worn off I find Gracie still likes to play with my daughter and hang out with her some but she always ends up with me. DD is always going some where. I think Gracie realized that I am the one who feeds her and is here for her. DD is fun but not reliable to be there to meet all her needs for companionship and such. It sounds like you are still pretty young and I'm sure you are active with work and other activities. It may be your little one is enjoying the extra attention and TIME she is getting from your mom. Before you get another dog you might consider the amount of time that little dog will spend at home ALONE while you are at work and when you have to go out after work. Those are a lot of empty lonely hours for a little dog that just wants to be with someone who loves him/her. |
