Dogs have their little personality quirks. He's getting older and maybe that's why he's more independent than he was when you first got him. When Debbie and I are home alone she is usually off by herself. Right now she's lying in my bedroom while I am out in the dining room.
She used to go to my parents when I was at work and when they'd pick me up in the car, many times she'd just continue to sit on my mom's lap like I wasn't even there. I was just glad that she was happy to be with other people when I wasn't around. I feel bad for dogs that are so attached to one person that they can't function when their owners aren't around.
Sometimes I think Debbie avoids me cause I'm the one who brushes her hair and all that unpleasant stuff. I'm sure your puppy still loves you but it's good that he loves your family too. |
