A couple of months ago my ex and I got back together. We were not together when I got Rory as a pup but she had met and liked him several times. As he started coming around more often she learned to expect his visits and loved the attention he gave her (he is a huge dog lover). Once we were officially back together I decided it was time for him to start taking her out on his own. he grabs her while I'm at work, takes her to the beach, to his friends who have otehr dogs so they can
lay, and everything. I didnt mind if she played favorites and would try and stay out of there bonding, only because he is so gentle and understanding already (gosh I dreaded meeting soemone who didnt know or care for dogs) so I thought I lucked out. For a while everything was great, he loves her to snuggle in her favorite spot.....right between us whether its on the couch or bed, he knew not to make it seem as if he was trying to take her place or make her jealous. They are fine when I am not there but now when I come home she is so clingy to me, she is 60 pounds and wants to all of a sudden sit on my lap? She has never lashed out at him or been mean to him, visa versa, but she will have nothing to do with him. No more kisses, loves, I actually liked when she played favorites before because then I knew she liked him but ever since he has been sleeping over things have been different even though she still gets to sleep in the middle.
I went to his house the other day to find them playing in the back yard, I got a chance to watch them without either of them knowing I was there and she really loves him. They were playing fetch, he was squirting her with the hose (which she loves) and she was all over him! The second she saw me she wanted nothing to do with him, wont even give him kisses....nothing. Did I do this to her by always putting her first? I told him from teh begining that none of her routines were to change because of him, I wont make her sleep on the floor, no changes, and thankfully he has never put up a fight. Do I have a spoiled rotten dog on my hands?
