Maximus...a momma's boy...???

[luzangela428]

Okay..Maximus is funny because although my bf spends as much time if not more with Maximus (he comes home to feed him everyday at lunch, which I don't get to do)...Maximus tends to follow me around..and when I come home he runs to me and wants to lay next to me etc..., this is all fine until last night when he started freaking out when I would go to the bathroom or kitchen (my bf was still in the livingroom with him)....he WANTED to walk with me....unforunately he is not 100% potty trained or I would let him roam and follow but he had a fit...usually if we both get up stimontaneously (1 to go to bathroom, 1 to get a drink) he will whine and bark for us to come back in but never when one of us is there in the same room also. IS Maximus picking a favorite...do your puppies do that and then grow out of it...I don't know why, we both give him lots of attention and love..and I would even say my bf plays a little more with him then I do

YES HE IS PICKING HIS PERSON...................... dogs usually have one really special person that they REALLY bond with, i am toby's..... its basically the same situation as you, my fiance he there a lot, but he is a total mommas boy.... my fiance used to get offended by it, because if i leave he throws a fit, but if he leaves he doesnt care......... just relish teh attention you are getting, he has allready chosen who he likes best so let it be

My sebastain does the same thing when i leave he throws a fit jumps up and trys to bite me and when i come home he goes crazy but if my kids leave he could care a less but if i'm not home he will lay with them but if i am home he wants me well recently if my son makes a kiss noise sebastain will jump up on him and give him tons of kisses its cute. Jasmine on the ohter hand could careless if any of us leave but she gets really excited when i come home but not the kids i love it

My hubby says when I leave Gucci doesnt cry but always goes to the door to look for me. She sits by my husband but always facing at the door. When i come in she runs to me and starts licking me.

Thanks guys...my bf is giving me grief...I think he feels bad ...I tried to make it better..I said I am the 1 who feeds Maximus in the mornign and evening and I am the one who washes him and brush/clothes him in the morning so that is why he is probaly acting like that...and I lied and said he would grow out of it..lol, then I suggested we get another to keeo Maximus company and to be his special baby..lol

I am currently reading If Dogs Could Talk by Vilmos Csanyi and in the first chapter he is talking about wild dogs and domest dogs' instinct. He says that domestic dogs pick an Alpha leader in the household and stick by the leaders side.

So obviously your dog thinks your the Alpha leader, which could be a good thing or bad thing (up to you I guess). But my dog does the same thing, no matter who has been around all day he acts like he hasn't seen me in weeks. . .shows their dedication I guess. . .

Are you enjoying the book..I will pick up...Hey I'll take being the leader..deep down I know I am...lol

Well, when I leave, Gracie just looks at me and Chester will start shaking. He's always had seperation anxiety. They overly greet me when I get home. They'll hang out with the hubby and kids, but they really couldn't care less who comes and goes. Also, when I go, they will wait for me to say, "Come on!" Then they know they get to go for a ride!

I have a Mama's boy too...This was suppose to be my
husbands dog. He picked him out and was so attentive
to him but it didn't matter the puppy likes me to the
point that it's like he is attached with velcro to me.
If I get out of the car to use the ATM and he can even
still see me he still has an absolute fit and whines like I
am getting on a boat to China or something. My husband
can leave and it's like he says See Ya! I drop my daughter
off at school and he looks at her like are you going to get
out or what? It's just me he goes bananas over and I am
not complaining. I never planned to love him as much as I
do but really how do you resist? I even canceled my trip
to Jamaica this year because Teddy would hate me being gone
for a week and I honestly can't imagine being away from him
a week either. Memorial Weekend around our house is a big
weekend as my husbands birthday and our wedding anniversary
always falls near it and this year we couldn't find any place
Teddy friendly to suit us so again we are staying home.
And to think I couldn't wait until my kids grew up and I had the
freedom to come and go as I pleased....LOL!

Me, too! Max is MINE. LOL He loves the girls & my husband, too, but he goes gaga for me & only me. In the mornings when he wakes up, he shakes from the second he sees me until I scoop him up for some hugs. It's adorable! Everyone else thinks it's nonsense, of course, but they're just jealous. LOL
