Great Post Jig ! I wish I could say that worked for me but so far it hasn't lol - My girls are the same way and I DON'T take them everywhere - I wish they weren't so attached because I worry about what would happen to them if something happened to me...and I have a husband who is part of the furniture so it's not like they can't bond with him - they just can't let ME out of their site and when I leave the house - my youngest cries and my oldest Chanel sits with her nose glued to the door I leave from.
When I come home they go insane - and I mean litterally
nuts - it's like they must think I ran away from home and changed my mind...
not that that doesn't seem like a good idea sometimes
oh and forget about going to the bathroom - if I close the door all I see is paws and really loud pissed off snorts from under the door lol - when I ignore them - Chanel will try to beat the door down - it's big fun.
