My husband and I have to put him back down on the carpet so that we can sit together on the sofa if not he will push his way between us. Since he is 6 months old we hope that he will grow out of it soon.

Tricksie got worse with her jealously, she is 19 months old, she loves my husband as much as me but trys to bite when we kiss or hug. She just started that a month ago. Tricksie and I go to bed before my husband and she will not let him in the bed, she really gets pissed.

3 of my babies are shadows!! Brooke, and Baby & Bitsy my chihuahuas! I call Brooke "Boo" like the character in Monster's Inc. who was always sneaking up quietly on the monsters. I will be up late at night and Brooke will be sleeping in the bed, I will go into the kitchen to get some water and I turn around to go back to sleep and she will be standing there in the dark looking at me!! It is so sweet! She was very independent when I got her but after her illness and recovery she has been stuck like glue to me!! I think she knows that I saved her and is very grateful!! Sometimes, when we are in bed and all 3 pups are stuck to my legs my hubby says "How are your tumors?"!! I wouldn't have it any other way!! I love my little tumors!!

Jewels is like that too. She follows me everywhere

He's just a puppy so I'm hopping he'll grow out of this. Does your yorkie do this too?

Lucy does the same thing and I hope she will never grow out of it

Mine are almost 3 years old and still do that. They are never seperated from me and will only eat when Im there, always in the room with me, they have something against closed doors, including shower curtains (they whine when Im in the shower and will watch me with both paws on the ledge of the tub looking in!) LOL they don't stay in bed when I get up to pee in the middle of the night, they gotta follow. If they are sound asleep on the couch and I get up, they wake up jump down and follow. If I pick up one the other MUST be picked up also. If I hug or kiss my boyfriend they are all over us jumping on our legs... they do not tolerate me giving affection to others!

Yet I find all this oddly sweet and endearing! Actually if one is not at my feet and I call and he does not come, I panic inside for a brief moment. sad huh?

OH wow... my Dex is just like your little girl. He was sooo independant, then I had him fixed and he is soooo clingy now. Like the surgery changed him. If he could somehow be permanantly attached to me, that's what he'd want!

[winstonw]

Yep, I gotta agree with most of the posts here Winston is my shadow too!! Every trip up from the bed at night, he never misses, room to room with me, sleeps right with me every night.....he is my attached shadow!!! I love it though!!

that sounds to me like an invitation for you to start looking for a lil sister for him

[Lynn WDW]

If Baxter is not by my side I know that he has gone to poop in the house and I better go look for him. The other night I didn't know where he was for about a minute and my husband said the more amazing thing was that Bax didn't know where I was.

Mine is going to be 2 in June Wherever I go, he goes. He won't eat if I am not right next to the bowl. I don't think they will ever grow out from it.

Already looking!!!! If nothing else, he'll learn not to say something unless he means it! lol

[silyjillie]

Meeko is 6 months and has to have me in his sight at all times. If he close the bathroom door before he can get in, he'll scratch the door the whole time. I'm hoping he'll grow out of it too.

[sheilajom]

From the looks of the other comments, yorkies don't seem to grow out of it!

[Tippy_Luvver]

Tippy is 2 years old and ALWAYS follows me---except when some one is eating something, then thats a different story

[Mom to Hot Rod]

Hot Rod is the same way, whereever I go he goes. If I don't let him in the bathroom, he scratches at the door. The only time he's not following me is when I go upstairs, he doesn't do stairs.
