| Following Around All Time! Is this common among yorkies? I have friends that have other breeds of dogs and their dogs to not follow them everywhere. If I get up she gets up if I go to the bathroom she is right behind me. If I take a shower she just lays quietly outside the shower curtain until I get out. Sometimes when I go to the bathroom I close the door she never cries or barks but when I open it again there she is sitting there just a nice. I feel like I have a tail. She also does not do this to my husband. She is 9 months old and I thought by now she will be doing her own thing. But she has to also sleep right next to me on the couch and everything. The only time she is not next to me is at night when she goes to bed. Her bed is in the bedroom but on the other side of the room but sometimes I'll wake up and she will be on the floor on my side of the bed near my head. If I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night she wakes up and is right behind me. Is this normal? Do they ever grow out of this? |

| Esme follows me around, but not my husband!!!! When ever I go anywhere, she is THERE. If I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, she's there. When my husband gets up in the middle of the night, she stays in her bed! LOL!

| I'm not sure but I have one just like this! lol My Dh calls her my *Shadow*. She does exactly what yours does. I think some of why Trixie does it though, is because of her past and she's such a Mama's girl! I really love it though-as Daphne (my pom) is a whole Daddys girl and loves me too, but this one is SO attached to me!

| Ramsey follows me everywhere.. He is always under my feet and I occasionally step on him. (not meaning to) He doesent follow anyone else either... It is cute at times but it gets annoying... and I hate stepping on him. |

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | I would have to say this is very common for all yorkies...I have two girls who are just like that...they want to know exactly where we are at all times...if we go into the kitchen they go, if I go to the bathroom so do they...I think they just love our company and don't want to miss anything!!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Trace is my shadow. He will wake from a dead sleep to follow me. Even if he is left in another room WITH other people, he will come and cry at the baby gate to be with me......even if he can SEE me....he wants to literally be IN the room with me. My dh says he is a momma's boy.

| YES. this is normal at my house,,, I always feel bad, cause he'll be sleeping and if I have to get up,,so does he. I'll say,," Mommys only going right here" but he has to come too. Also, with a Yorkie you will never go to the bathroom alone again. Its so cute when I get in the shower,, he's there waiting, then by the time I get out, he is fast asleep on my clothes that I had on.... AHHHHH

| All our our Yorkies like to be someones shadow. Especially if we are in the kitchen, they certainly dont want to miss out on any treats or the chance of something being dropped on the floor.. Shiloh likes to follow us into the bathroom... but out of the three Destiny is my daughter Aly's biggest Shadow.. She follows her room to room and gets really depressed when she cant see her.. Ears laid back, sad eyes the whole woe is me look.. It's just pitiful.. |

| I would say that it is normal for some breeds. I used to have a German Shepard that didn't follow me, but my Sheltie did. He was my constant shadow. Everywhere I went he went too. To the bathroom, to the door, to the kitchen to get a drink.... everywhere. But he didn't do it to anyone else. Just me. I guess it's because they love you and depend on you so much. They are just as attached to you as you are to them.
