I don't have answers to your 1st two questions, but number three I might be able to discuss. When we first got Bailey (he was around 7 months old), he stuck to me like glue. My wife was a bit jealous, but she figured in time he would distribute the love. While he does spend time with her, he will chose to sit on my lap every single time. In fact last night, we were watching a tv program and Bailey was sitting in his usual position on my lap. At a commercial, Natalie called to him. He raised his head, looked over at her and must have thought, "You have got to be kidding!", and lowered his head.
I'm beginning to think they bond to a person and it is for life. But the good news is, in time they will love everyone in the home. |
