I call it 'Any port in a storm' syndrome! Thats my Dex. He prefers his mommy at all times, but if I am unavailable he picks the next best thing, he's such a lapdog. He'd sleep round the clock if I was sick and sleeping all day & night, he would too.
One time I had the norovirus and when I came home I was so sore and tired and cold, I went straight to bed with like 4 blankets. I slept for at least 24 hours straight. DH said he had to come in and pick Dex up to take him outside a few times at least. But he didn't eat, didn't play, didn't do anything but sleep up close to me the whole time. Fletch did his own thing and hung with the living! LOL
