To wish my dog wouldfuck off

Not permanently, just for a bit.

For three weeks now she has been Velcro dog. Nothing has changed, nothing Is new, she just suddenly has developed a fucking huge crush on me.

She follows me constantly. If I lgo to the loo she cries and scratches the door. She spends her whole day licking my feet and adoring me.

She is 4 years old and a black lab if that helps

Are you pregnant? Or poorly? Dogs bejave strangely around pregnant and poorly people.

I have very fond memories of my family's black labs.

Loyal, chewy and endlessly boisterous.

Is it possible she's feeling under the weather?

I am not pregnant.

The cat is behaving weirdly too. Dh keeps calling me Eliza because neither of them will leave me alone. Confused

The frequent cry in our house is "For God's sake, stop LICKING MY FEET!"

(Owners to a foot licking, shadow-dog collie)

Are you sure she's not ill?

She seems fine. Eating, shitting, bouncing as usual, just especially loving towards me all of a sudden.

Weird. Hullygully has been clingy of late. She's come out of if now, but that's possibly because she's so concussed from being tripped over/hit with doors she's sleeping on the other side of/banging her own head on doors to charge through them that's she has temporary memory loss and can't remember the caypise of her clinginess.

HoneyDragon · 04/10/2015 01:00

Caypise? CAUSE.

IS CAYPISE A WORD.

Is Dh spraying you with gravy in your sleep for shits and giggles?

ReginaBlitz · 04/10/2015 01:13

Feed her? Know the feeling though my dog is a needy fucker not so much on that level though..plus she's like it with every one. I think she clearly knows what fuck off and get a dentistix means now as well.

HexBramble · 04/10/2015 01:23

Could you be pregnant?

How's your health? Sorry to be blunt, but it has been known for pets to pick up on things before they're realised by the owners.

kungpopanda · 04/10/2015 02:56

Could something have happened to distress the animals when you were not there? Although I doubt the cat would be behaving in same clingy way if so, or at least not until after a lot of hiding away.

Maybe something has changed in DogMindWorld? New neigbours? new furniture or old furniture disposed of? Any other environment changes spring to mind?

I do like the husband/gravy theory, it must be said.

shadowfax07 · 04/10/2015 03:08

She's morphed into a Welsh Springer. They are the original Velcro dogs. Could she be coming into season, or having a phantom pregnancy?

mirren3 · 04/10/2015 04:10

We have a lab who is best friends with a jack russell, they have both been extra clingy for roughly 3 weeks. We had decided it was due to the moon eclipse. Both dogs are like velcro to me and my friend, not anyone else in our houses.

LoveChickens · 04/10/2015 06:57

Are you on your period? My dog is a pain in the arse when I'm on.

cherrytree63 · 04/10/2015 07:10

I'm another who wants to ask about your health!
One of my old dogs glued herself to me for a few hours before I went into labour.
I've just had major surgery and since being home one of our (very nonchalant) lurchers keeps putting her head on my lap and gazing in my eyes.

Whatamuckingfuddle · 04/10/2015 07:16

I almost don't want to type this as it seems like scaremongering but my dog behaves like this with my friend when he sees her, she has cancer. I'm sure it's not that with you but they do pick up on illnesses - and my dog is a dozy so and so, we thought he'd just fallen madly in love til she found the lump!

kelper · 04/10/2015 07:25

My dog is glued to me. I'm not pregnant, ill )apart from a bastard cold)
She is just glued to me because she comes from a house with many many dogs and for the first time in her doglife she has the undivided attention of people and she's deliriously happy!
However whoever mentioned animals reacting oddly to you when you have a period was spot on in regards to the mare I rode on Tuesday who obviously could tell, as she was an absolute cow to ride!
No help at all really Wink

NashvilleQueen · 04/10/2015 07:53

She's not pregnant is she?

Wheretheresawill1 · 04/10/2015 08:20

Maybe she has a phantom pregnancy

Girlwhowearsglasses · 04/10/2015 09:12

Is she licking a particular part of you?

I don't want to worry you but they are researching dogs with cancer in Milton Keynes precisely because a scientist found she had breast cancer when her dog kept nudging her breasts www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/33835669/how-do-medical-dogs-smell-cancer

Of course perhaps hopefully she just looooves you!

No particular part of me, she wants to sit on my lap if I sit down (And she's not a small dog!) and is two inches away from me wherever I am in the house.

She's been spayed, so not in season. I was glad to come to work this morning to get a break! (Dh and dd are at home with her)

How is she when you leave her alone, to go out for example? Has she had any trauma in her past? I'm just wondering if it could be some sort of separation anxiety?
