    Favoritism

    Does any of your dogs have a fave person other than you? Sophie is crazy over my husband. When I come home she is like oh hi, but when he comes...I am serious one more day with him coming home , her tail is going to fly off or she's going to the vet for a broken hip.[;)]

    Unfortunately, they all run to me. Every minute of the day. I'm the favourite, because daddy tends to the outdoor animals, and mommy gets the indoor ones.
    Daddy only gets attention when he wants to take one or two of them on trail rides, they seem to know how to get him to pick them.

    I am Copper's favorite person.  After me it is my friend Jen.  Unfortunately she and her new DH moved to CA back in Sept.  Every now and then I'll ask Copper if he wants to go see Jenny & Willow.  Man does he perk up and start hopping around like a fool!  [sm=rofl.gif]  The funny thing is I'm Willow's favorite person after Jen.  Jen does the same thing to Willow.  I've been on the phone with her and she'll ask Willow and you can hear her beautiful hound dog howl!  [:)]

    Trey ironically prefers me over the others in the household even though he's not my dog.  Nikki, however, loves men.  She adores my uncle and my father and if they show any inclination of petting her, she dumps me for them.  She usually comes to me first though.  Harry's favorite is... Beau.  He follows Beua everywhere and pays most attention to him.  Beau's favorite is everyone.

    Russell loves my fiance's brother and sister-in-law. When they come over he gets this look on his face like he's died and gone to heaven. Doesn't hurt my feelings, noooo.... [sm=lol.gif]

    Charlie is in love with our mailman.  If Steve is at the door delivering mail and I come home, I might as well not exist.  DH says he perches on top of the sofa every morning and waits for him to come to the door and then he starts licking the window when he see him, it's nuts!  After the mailman, it's me [:D]

    With Mick, nobody else counted if I were around, except a very good friend of ours.  We all lived at the same camp for years.  Even after we all moved away, Mick would turn himself inside out with glee anytime our friend was around.  And he pretty much glued himself to his side, too.  Caleb, well, let's just say that if you have food when I'm around, he just might decide you exist.

    Kills me to say this but ANY animal we have ever had (excepting one black cat that for whatever reason ran like the wind when DH came around??) has ADORED DH first.  I am an extremely close second tho is all I can say but I'm cool with it.  I've seen the leader's job... not always what it's cracked up to be.  However, Dottie is definitely my dog in many other ways, will sleep with me and absolutely goes crazy when I come home from work so... I count and that is all that matters.  It's all good.  We are definitely parental roles to them tho.

    Max loves my DS #2, who is always ready to pull out the flashlight for a good game of "chase."

    Emma loves men. She adores my brother. She flies into his arms, every time she sees him. She loves my friend's husband so much that she can't WALK on the BEACH, for looking at him. It's utterly hilarious. She just gets in front of him and stares. She also really loves her vet. She's a weirdo.

    And Teenie just loves me. She's too weird about people to trust anybody else, so far. She likes other people, but she only turns to mush for me.

    Blaze goes nuts for my BF. Probably becuase my BF will roguh house with him and all that. I dont, I try and he dosnt like it, maybe becuase he looks to me more of a mom or somthing like that. He lives with me, my BF is here maybe 4 or 5 times a week. And if I even mention "ryan" or "daddy" (oh does ryan ever like me calling him a daddy towards a dog lol [;)])
     
    But if you got food, he will be yours. lol.
     
    One day at the dog park I was walking him. he ran across the deep part of the river, where he has to swim (he dosnt swim just splashs and lays in water) and went towards a family picnicing. I was embaressed (but who picnics at a dog park, with no dog [&:]I had to literally run so he would chase after me to come back, as I couldnt get across the river to get him. It was probably up to my waist and with carrying so much stuff, I would have dropped everything in it lol.
