Mandie is more attached to her daddy than to me. But she definitely wants attention. If nobody is paying her attention, that's when you hear from her. I will hear her bark from the other room at hubby while I am on the computer. Then I feel a pat on my ankle and a bark at my feet. Then, she decides it is time to harass her brother, who is calmly sleeping at my feet. Yup..she's attached....to attention lol
