Middle child syndrome? With 3 yorkie/dogs - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have to ask does anyone else have three dogs and the middle one haves the Jane Brady syndrome? My middle girl Lizzie is always trying to out do her baby sister. She always acts hurt or sad when we pay the baby any attention. She will have to jump in my lap if the little oneida even sitting beside me or if she gives kisses has to out do her or runs and sits on the other couch. Honestly she isn't jealous. She loves her sister and if I watch her she will go and give her sister kisses or take her a toy it is just when we are watching her. I think it is cute she doesn't her but Abbie has a cry that shecdoes when she is mad or you barely touch her

Oh Brandi does that with the cat. And it's just the two. She has to be the center of attention at all times. When I went to my cousin's house who has two dogs, she sat on my lap as if she was guarding me from them getting to close to me.

I usually don't tolerate it when she does it to my cat because Zoey my cat needs attention and love too. So I will usually give Brandi a stern no and give Zoey my undivided attention. Brandi sulks for a minute but then she will just go right back to sleep or doing whatever she was doing.
