Do they ever stop following you???
 
Pita (15 weeks) follows my every move. As much as I love her, I wish she didn't follow me everywhere. She will even get up to follow me if she is sleeping and then I leave the room. This makes me feel guilty for disturbing her sleep! Do any of your yorkies do this and is there an age that they stop?:confused:

iluvchewy 09-24-2008 05:23 PM
oh my GOD yes!!! my babies both follow me EVERYWHERE!!! ALL the time!!! i feel the same way, i feel so bad getting out of bed in the middle of the night, knowing it'll make my babies wake up and feel like they have to follow me, lol. my oldest is 4 and still does it, i dont think they grow out of it, sorry ;)

mollygirlsmom 09-24-2008 05:40 PM
Mine follow me or my husband also.I think that's just the way they are. You gotta love em!! I like it, It makes me feel like they love me and want to be with me!:)

marcerella02 09-24-2008 05:47 PM
same here! there is an email that goes around (i think it is called- Letter to a dog or something like that ) and part of it says

For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years --canine or feline attendance is not required.

iluvchewy 09-24-2008 05:49 PM
ooooooomg, hilARious!!! LOVE it ;)

Lee B 09-24-2008 05:59 PM
I usually only use the bathroom in our bedroom ... and it has no door (so my husband can get in/out easier). They follow me until they're assured of where I'm going. Then the run out and up "their" stairs to the bed and wait for me there. They're not stupid: the bed is MUCH more comfortable than the tile floor :D.

When I'm ready to leave, they follow me back to the livingroom or wherever I'm going.

I thought for a while that I should have named my little boy Shadow, for that's where he is: stuck to my heels.

That's cute! One of mine follow me in there when I take a shower. matter of fact I make sure she knows that I'm going in there, just so I don't have to hear her cry outside the door.

Bobby is 16 months, and still follows me everywhere. If I get up he comes along. Doesnt matter where i go, upstairs, to the restroom, garage....anywhere. I am used to it now. :) I figure my baby just love me so much, he wants to go wherever I go.

Do they ever stop following you??? .... NO!! :sidesplt:

blabbyb 09-24-2008 06:15 PM
Oh my gosh...I was hoping this was something she'd outgrow!! Guess I better get used to it!!

J Thiele 09-24-2008 06:15 PM
My wife and I can't do anything without our little girl Sadie being on our heels. And always wanting to be picked up.

Just love her and get use to it.

HallTx1203 09-24-2008 06:21 PM
lol....Yesterday evening, I was in my recliner and Barney and Belle were sound asleep in my lap...I was sooo thirsty and had a headache also...I had my husband get up from his chair who was very comfortable himself and get me something for the headache and a drink so I would not disturb the babies' sleeping....How awful am I???? And he did it too...lol


My babies follow me everywhere...Does not matter that I am coming right back or not...They're my "Shadows"....I get to the point I sometimes forget that they are following me that I am sooo used to it...People always comment "Don't you get tired of it?" :rolleyes: I think...Duh they are my babies....

Yorkiemama24 09-24-2008 08:05 PM
I don't have my yorkie yet, but have a question about this. I want my baby Bentley to follow me everywhere when I finally do get him. But I read in another thread that it's good to not let your babies have full range of the house. I am going to buy the play pen for my baby...which will not allow him to follow me. Is there a time when I can let him have full range of the house as a puppy so that he will learn to follow me everywhere?

Jeri Cunningham 09-24-2008 08:12 PM
I have at least 4 at a time follow me. I have gates between rooms to prevent it if I don't want to be followed.
I love the way they follow like please don't leave me!

delisa2850 09-24-2008 09:30 PM
I hope Roxy never stops following me! If she does I will be wandering through the house by myself - talking to myself! Aside from the wonderful companionship, look at the bright side...if they are not following you, you KNOW they are into something they shouldn't be, and you need to go and follow them!!! :p

Hi, I live in LaPorte and nope they follow you everywhere,when you jump in bed they will congregate under and around your bed, jump up on the couch on you, go to the bathroom with you if you leave the door ajar.

Then they will lcik your face and wag their tails as if they will never stop.
I have to say I just love it until I am trying to do paper work. Or on my computer.

TED E BEAR 09-24-2008 11:37 PM
my baby follows me everywhere also and i love it! but like everyone else I feel guilty getting up sometimes when they are asleep.

my question is: Do other breeds get as attached to their owners??

(my family has only had golden retrievers. this is my first small toy breed)

mscat 09-24-2008 11:44 PM
Suzi follows me all over the place. She has to be near me all the time. I Do close the bathroom door, and then i find her waiting for me on the other side. i don't work so she and I are together most of the time. When we do leave she looks out the second story window and watches us.. that breaks my heart . She now hears the car pull up and again waits at the window.

cheryl19 09-25-2008 02:36 AM
Their like glue, even as I type this Max is sitting on my foot:D:D

bchgirl 09-25-2008 02:56 AM
Reggie is my shadow....whether Ramsey and Reese follow me depends on if their daddy is home. We have two bathrooms...one all of them will follow me into...the other...Rams and Reese say no way...you get baths in that one.

chachi 09-25-2008 03:22 AM
Some of them will always follow you. My Jewels is 4 and always follows me or my husband

LunasMomma 09-25-2008 03:37 AM
Both of my girls do that too, though once in a while they'll be sleeping so soundly that I can sneak off:laugh: They MUST be in the same room as one of us at all times:D

Yep, consider them your "furry entourage" or "puppy posse" :D

Wow you aren't that far from me, I live in Chesterton. :)

BamaFan121s 09-25-2008 05:03 AM
Mine stop following me when I look at them and say, "Who wants a bath?" or "Who pee'd in the floor?"

I grew up with Old English Sheepdogs in the house who always followed us around, and my late bullmastiff always followed me from room to room.

Do your goldens follow you?

mstrooperwife 09-25-2008 05:49 AM
our Tyke follows us everywhere too. he's 14 weeks old. I feel guilty also....I feel your pain:D lol

KCDarcy 09-25-2008 05:59 AM
At our house I often have one sitting on my legs when I am in the restroom "resting". Our new Yorkie will stand at the side of the tub and look through the shower curtain when I am showering.

Most of the time it is cute and laughable. It is annoying in the middle of the night if you get up to use the bathroom and they all get up with you - thinking it is morning and time to play. Or when you and your spouse want some "private time" and the dogs are trying to pound the bedroom door down.

Ours are quiet if we kennel them, but we used to have a Yorkie who was not. To have privacy, we had to put her in the back seat of our car in the garage. The garage was heated and cooled, so she was comfortable, but very pissed off.

That is so cute! and so true! My husband tells mine all the time "She isnt going to climb out the window"... lol... and trying to fit us all in one little room is quite fun! And just FORGET trying to take a shower without an audience... lol
