Horsefeathers! Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 It's horrible. I can't begin to describe the pain. Oh, the pain... :cry: You remember we were having Pauly problems? How he used to hate my husband and the two of them just couldn't get along. Pauly was MY dog and he always wanted to be with ME. Now... *sniff*snort*waaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh* :cry: :cry: :cry: Pauly follows my husband everywhere he goes. He used to always stay up with me and be near me. Now he's my husband's dog!!! If my husband goes outside, Pauly is right on his heels. If my husband goes to bed, Pauly goes with him and lies on the floor by HIS side of the bed. He used to sleep by ME!! Oh, he still comes to me and lays his head in my lap and wants my attention. He still looks at me all dreamy eyed. Still, if my husband makes a move for a door, Pauly will leave me in the dust! WHY????? :cry: :cry: :cry: At least I still have Perry (and Devin and Peanut and Tucker and...). My beloved Perry who never leaves my side. Pauly still loves me, but he's not all MY dog, anymore. :-? :cry: Quote
Duke_3 Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 WEll, mabey Pauly is confused, I eman mabey he used to dislike your husband but now he doesnt dislike him he wants to be his friend and stuff, hes learned to trust him, And mabey hes just sort of, sozializing with him, getting to know him. Im sure he doesnt hate you, Im sure he still loves you very much, but hes jsut letting your husband know hey i like you to ya know? Kind of thing. In time pauly might sleep by you again and stuff, Im sure hell follow BOth of you around soon.:D Quote
courtnek Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 OH HF.....some dogs just have to bond with one person. That's the way they are. As long as he still loves and accepts you, you may just need to let him bond with hubby. At least there is peace in the house now... Laurel has bonded only with me, and that makes my son crazy too... You didnt "go wrong...." you did what was necessary for household peace and hubby's safety....sometimes there's a proce to pay... he still loves you, dont worry. :fadein: Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted January 11, 2004 Author Posted January 11, 2004 So I don't need to start sic'ing Pauly on him, or anything? *snicker* :lol: Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted January 11, 2004 Author Posted January 11, 2004 Perhaps I was overreacting a *tad* and gave the wrong impression. Actually, I was kinda sorta kidding. I mean, the truth is that Pauly IS following my husband step for step and the two of them are truly bonding marvelously. Pauly is still very attached to me, though. It just really did make me go >> :o when Pauly began sleeping by hubby. I have to admit that I might be a tiny bit jealous. Still, I'm really glad the two of them have hit it off. I won't sic Pauly on him. :P Quote
courtnek Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 naw...you can train one of the others to do that.... :evilbat: (just kidding, of course) 8) Quote

imported_Cassie Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Good for you HF, I knew it would "happen" sooner or later. I have taken in soooooo many fearful dogs that this has become second hat to me! :wink: I have had dogs which have taken longer to bond with the others in my household...but, with patience and kindness...it always happens, some take a little longer than others. My Newf. Cassie was frigthened of every thing and every body...now I can't keep her away from guests and my other house mates. And my dogs all find their "favorites" some times when one person is trying especially hard to bond and they always have the "best" treats and take them for "special" walks...the dog really starts looking forward to that persons company. :wink: Quote
