She'll also take herself off to our sunroom, which has three walls of low windows and hang out there so she can watch the birds, squirrels, etc.
ZoE does like to cuddle, but she does it when she wants to, not necessarily when I want her to. But, I wouldn't ever describe her as a "velcro dog", as she's fairly confident & independent. Personality wise, she reminds me alot of my daughter. I've often wondered if I raised them both that way (nurture) or whether they just both happened to be that way (nature). |
Interesting point. It could well be down to your parenting skills. Which obviously works like a charm, by the sounds of things
I think that's the best way to be. Dogs need to enjoy their own 'quiet time'. I regret not using a crate now.
I think I was a bit too worried about Jasper. He's one now, but from the moment I took him home, he was taken anywhere I went. My sister would even be shocked if I left for a walk alone, like around the corner. She demanded I give her the keys to my flat. When she seen me out at the local newsagent. I was like ummm....
I noticed how close his litter was as well. When i visited a number of times before I got him. They sleep, they play, they feed, they sleep etc. But always together. Feeding of their energy. Jasper has deff got that pack mentality still. I wasn't even gonna let him sleep in my bed, but I said 'oh it's only the first night, he's away from his mother'.... but now he sleeps in the middle of me and my boyfriend at our feet. Without fail.
