Clingy Kelly

Kelly is starting to follow me around like a....lost puppy. But she is not a puppy anymore, and she is not lost! She is definitely more clingy than she used to be. Yesterday I swore she followed me into every room I went. The living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, laundry room, upstairs, downstairs, even the bathroom! Now, if I want any privacy at all, I need to shut the door, otherwise she nudges it open.

When I get out of the shower in the morning, instead of finding her in the living room like I used to, she's in "my spot" where I get ready. When I used to turn on the hair dryer, she immediately left the room. Now she endures it. When I go into the garage to put some cans in the recycle bin, she yelps like I'm leaving and never coming back. The last couple of nights I have woken up to find her laying right along side me instead of at the end of the bed.

I guess I should take it as a compliment. She's getting used to me and is starting to feel more at home. When I picked her up last weekend, she couldn't wait to jump into my car. She's even listening better than before and following the commands from me that my brother used.

But I'm sorry....if I need to do my business, especially a No. 2, I don't want no dog panting right in my face. That's where I draw the line!
