she follows me everywhere!

How old are your daughters? My boys would NOT like my stepsons no matter what! They were LOUD, fooled around a lot, moved quick, etc... they made my boys nervous. Even when they turned into young men, my boys just never warmed up to them. If your girls are loud, quick, rambunctious, they make your dog nervous, therefore your dog is going to follow you around for protection from the chaos.

they are wonderful with her. Especially one of them. She hugs and kisses her all the time. Don't get me wrong, she loves them. She just loves me more. I am being more diligent about them feeding her.
Sami my dog lover already told me when she goes to college (8 years away) she is taking Jess with her.

Well, the more time they spend doing doggy things with the little one the more she is going to be attracted to them. If she is at all food motivated, getting some small all natural treats for the girls to give her could be a real incentive. I have found that Gracie's attitude about things she did not care for (like grooming) changed a lot when a couple of treats were given at the end of the session. If your dog knows the girls are associated with treats it could make them more attractive to her. Maybe if the girls had some handy it would help with the bonding process.
