So Buster will be turning 12 in September and he is mostly deaf (which is a recent occurence). Lately, I have noticed that he seems to be extra clingy towards me. My other two dogs follow me around too, but Buster seems to need to be right there with me. If my fiance and I are watching a movie, he needs to sit next to me on the couch. If I'm at the computer, he is right there next to me. Lately, he seems to always be right there, I am never out of his sight (except for right now because I'm writing this [
]).
Anyway, I don't really mind it, it's just that he is older now and I don't know if this behavior should worry me. Is he trying to tell me something or is he just loving to be with me? I am home more often (I'm a teacher so I am home during the summer)...this is new to him since I just finished school in April and started substitute teaching until June...now I'm home everyday. Could it be him adjusting to that? I have never had an older dog so I don't know if this type of behavior change is a warning or not.
So, I hope that all made sense, any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.[
