Helly Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 ok i'm probably the odd one out here because nope im not obsessed with them. I dont know any of the gotcha days, although i know which month they all arrived. Im in the fortunate situation where someone has to be here 24/7 so they never ever spend time alone, but if i am not here, they are fussed just as much by my manager, and 3 days a week they all spend most of the day with my mum. I love them all to bits, there isnt a limit to what i would spend on any of them if they were ill, and they all get spoiled by way of toys, beds, treats, food etc but when i take time out from work it means i take time out from my dogs too. We miss each other when im not about but we all enjoy getting together again when i come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkle Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) Just had to add, you know when you look at them and they give you that "you are my world" look back?? Just had that with Jack and the love for him completely overwhelms me so much so that I end up dancing around with him crooning at him that I looooooooooooove him so so sooooooo much ......................... he loves it ... honest!

Rudi Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Just had to add, you know when you look at them and they give you that "you are my world" look back?? Just had that with Jack and the love for him completely overwhelms me so much so that I end up dancing around with him crooning at him that I looooooooooooove him so so sooooooo much ......................... he loves it ... honest! Brilliant I sing to my dogs mostly the chorus of You Are My Sunshine. They have loads of nicknames, Rudi is mostly Woogie ('cos that how he says it, his girlfriend does too when she emails him yub yekkers) Koda is Kogi Bear and I talk to them quite a bit, which is fine until I'm outside in the garden or something and realise other people can hear me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Completely, utterly, obsessed by my 2. I have SA when I'm not with them,wondering if they're OK etc. I hate leaving them for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyMalc Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Am I obsessed? Errrr yes Do I care whether anyone thinks if it's normal? Errrr nope! I'm also the one who suffers SA in this household, I've got Mal and Kiera's photos on my desk and I will look at them during the day and miss them terribly. I hardly ever go out and that's just fine with me, I'd much rather spend the day out and about with Mal and Kiera - and the evenings on here talking about them while they are asleep on the sofa or in bed If I ever get to meet someone who could potentially be an OH they'd have to be prepared to take 3rd place .... nd I doubt it I'll ever meet anyone who would be happy with that. On the other hand, I'd totally understand it if I'd come 3rd after someone's 2 animals, be they dogs, cats or hamsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACKYSIAN Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yeap definately obsessed!!! I worry about leaving them when I work, I worry about leaving them at the weekends when I go to Kane (my other obsession!!) I don't go out on a week day evening because I've left them already in the day!!! Pretty much all I talk about are the dogs and the horses, my wall calender is pictures of the dogs and the horses!!! My social life 99% involves either the dogs and the horses (or both at times!!). I've made the bestest friends because of them, and for that I'm forever grateful. I adore them, each and everyone of them. They all have their own unique characters and even though I spend all my money on them and go without myself I just couldn't imagine life without them around. Oh yes I do sing to them as well!!! Of course they have nicknames...and when I leave the house, I kiss each one on the head and tell them I love them!!

one.eyed.dog Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I had bad separation anxiety when I had Lucy. I hated being away from her. One pal used to say we were joined at the hip. Lottie is different. If I want to go out she goes to my pal who has Scooby and has a whale of a time. Don't think she misses me at all. TBH. I don't think we have been together long enough to have the bond I had with Lucy. She is my mad wee pal, where as Lucy was my soul mate. We'll get there eventually. Just need a few more adventures under our belt. Don't get me wrong. I love the mad wee muppet, just in a different way. Lucy was Lucy and I miss her terribly still.

My parents think i'm totally mad and say i think more of my dogs than my son. I even talk about them in my sleep and once patted OH on his head and said good boy :laugh: i love my dogs more than life it self and would do anything for then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylor Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I woke up this morning with my arms wrapped tight around a little terrier , he had his head on the pillow next to me we were facing each other and his front legs were wrapped around me like arms ..... That is really quite scary Even scarier it I would certainly not appreciate any man trying to take his place as my sleeping partner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 And ditto about the bloke. Me too. I'd much rather wake up to Timmy, who snuggles on the pillow next to my head and rests his head across my neck and then licks my nose when I turn round to say "hello" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalie34 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 what a lovely topic I join you all in what you are saying about being obsessed about your dogs .... i treat them like they are one of my children although at the moment I don't have dogs of my own, I am fostering, and after just 10days I became so attached to Scooby but he left today to go to Michelle's before his forever home is ready, and I shed a tear !!
