Gus has always been a mamma's boy. He doesn't necessarily have to be on my lap but he has to be right next to me. Like now, he's in back of me. I will sit there and he will whimper till I move up till there is enough room for him so that he can jump up and lay down. Otherwise he's on my lap or on my feet while I'm on the computer.
Before my father in law passed he was staying with us and Gus did take to him. One day we were all watching TV and Gus left my side to and went to sit on David's belly. Oh how he went on and on, and was making a big deal out of it. I told him not to get too happy, and that if I were to get up and walk out of the room Gus WILL follow me. He even bet my $5.oo. So I got up and walked out and sure enough Gus followed me. As a puppy all he wanted was me but as he got older he would cuddle with pretty much everyone in the house but only if I'm in clear view.
The only time Gus will run from me is when he sees me getting his bath stuff out. Then he's my husband or Des's (my oldest daughter) best friend.
