Do you have a Shadow?

[yorkieagility]

When my yorkies were pups, they used to follow me around. Now that they are all grown up none of them follow me. You think having 3 yorkies at least one will follow me around like a shadow but no such luck.

Isn't this board fabulous? To hear that so many others
experience the same things you do on a daily basis is
so comforting. I have a shadow too...and when I leave
the house for a few minutes he acts like he hasn't seen
me in years when I walk back in. I have had many other
breed dogs through out my life but I have never ever
experienced the love I do with this little guy. When my
husband got him and paid so much money for him I thought
he was out of his mind and now I wouldn't give him up for
any amount of money in this world

yes yes yes.......me too!!!


I even try to sneak into the other room..... if I am just going to be there for a minute........but they pop awake and run for the security gate......and hop, whine and scratch their frustration.......Max and Maggie are truly loveable characters and they have taken the word companion to the highest definition.


got to love them!

Kodah has access to only two rooms of our house - the kitchen & family room. She is so different from our yorkie we had for 15 1/2 years - she will stay in bed when I walk past her & either stay asleep or go back to sleep.
Mocha used to follow me everywhere & I use to feel so guilty because I felt like I just wore her out because I'm not a sit too long/in one place kind of person. Kodah will come & sit at my feet if she wants to be held, & once she is asleep I can put her in her bed & she stays. She is definetely more independent than our other (but she is also only 15 weeks old - so that may change!).

Artie follows me every where and he has "Seperation Anxiety" he is full grown @ 1 yr. and 5 months, it was worse when he was younger and I expected him to grow out of it by now?
Abigail follows Artie every where so now I have 2 Shadows and she has "Separation Anxiety" with him, they are inseperable! I have no privacy at all in the bathroom, even when I am brushing my teeth they both jump up and stand to lick the toothpaste while I'm brushing. Sounds weird, and looks even worse.....my husband is amazed, that I allow them all access to my home life and daily routines.

Stomper does the same...I wonder if all puppies do that? It is cute, but I never get ME time anymore!!!!

Gucci is my shadow also. She follows me everywhere. She also follows my daugther. If i go to the bathroom and i close the door, she scraches it until i open it.

Thank goodness I live alone! I can't remember the last time I went to the bathroom or took a shower with the door closed. I accidentally closed it one day a long, long time ago and it sounded like the end of their world! They go everywhere I go all the time! But I love it and couldn't imagine turning around and not having 2 furry faces staring at me wondering what I'm doing!

[natalie]

Yeah,.. actually I feel like Fred's shadow!
He will run ahead and then constantly look back to see where I go! If he goes into my room, and I go into the bathroom.. when he looks back, he'll turn around and start running before I shut the door! He'll sit there and watch while I brush my teeth!
Sometimes when he looks back, he bonks his head on the laundryroom door! He's a lil' soldier!

Stewie used to follow me around all the time, but now he just looks at me while I walk away. If I am gone more than a couple minutes, he comes looking. I like it that way. I wouldn't be able to stand it if he were constantly under my feet.
