Is it just me or... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I thought when my kids got older I would be able to go to the bathroom without interruption!! Well I could until I got Bella

! She has to be able to see me at all times. I also have two lhasa's in the house and they aren't anything like my little Bella. She is definitely my shadow and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!

Yep! both of mine do this. No matter how quiet I try to be. It makes me feel bad. Especially when I am trying to clean, and lots of times I am walking in back and forth a few times

They are with me every step of the way!

Definitely! In fact my little girl is named Shadow. She sits on my lap when I am at my computer. She lays in the kitchen when I'm cooking or cleaning. She is right there when I am in the family room. Sometimes when I lose sight of here and call her name, she is right behind me!

Have fun, that's why they are called "companion" dogs.

Completely! They're def velcro dogs. Wylie and Marcel now know what it means when I say "you can stay"....they know it means I'll be back in just a bit. And if they're resting, they'll just stay there when I say that. Pfeiffer hasn't quite learned this yet, so she is up down up downupdownupdownupdown....poor busy girl

All 3 of my dogs, 2 yorkies and a Jack Russell (who thinks she's a yorkie) follow me everywhere! They need to be able to at least see me at all times and much prefer to have some physical contact. They will even lay a head on my foot if I am standing in one position for very long, say doing dishes or cooking. Then they look a bit annoyed when I make them move to reposition for another task. I have taken to closing them out of the bathroom but they sit right outside the door and will whimper if I take more than a minute or two. They absolutely hate when I vacuum as they can't standthe vaccum noise but want to be close just the same. Makes a hard decision for them. Sometimes I like it, sometimes it gets a little inconvenient, but all in all -- I wouldn't change them if I could. Which I am pretty sure I can't anyway.

I like Ann's name of Velcro dogs -- very appropriate!

Yes! Elvis doesn't even let me visit the lady's room with out coming in-he can be asleep, he'll hear me get up and so does he, he'll follow me to the potty and lay down there and instantly go back to sleep then jump up and follow me where ever next-I'm almost envious of his light sleeper ability

Oh it's not just you....our five do the same thing...unless they are snoozing, but walk into the kitchen and they all run thinking it's treat time!

I have tripped over more little furbutts than you care to imagine. We have 5 and people wonder why I always look down before I start to walk.

i have 3 and they are always at my feet

Buddy is the same, bathroom, bedroom, settee, when on my laptop, he wants to sit on the laptop, he wants my attention all the time. He follows me to the shower and sits on my bath robe, knowing full well it could mean he has the dreaded bath, but he does not care, he is my very own shadow

Poshible · 11-23-2010, 02:38 PM

Mine does too. If I am not home she does it to the husband.
