Pet Owners: Are your fur babies acting more clingy?

I swear, my dog can sense this baby. She was always a little needy, but now she is like a barnacle on me. She needs to lay on me all the time, she follows me around and at night she likes to lay right next to my stomach. It's sweet, but a little annoying. Anyone else going through this?

Re: Pet Owners: Are your fur babies acting more clingy?

  • Yep. Both cats and both dogs are much clingier than usual, although not as bad as yours. The cats like to hang out with me in the morning while I'm eating in bed, trying not to vomit and the dogs just need to be in the same room with me. When I'm in bed, they climb up much more often than they used to and want to cuddle right next to me, instead of the foot of the bed.

  • My husband calls our dog my dog now. He claims he no longer has a dog. I don't think she's being super more clingy, but yes... a little more than normal. :-)

  • My beagle is still normal, but my Daschund-Chihuahua mix, who has always been the center of my world (in her eyes lol) has been almost super glued to me at all times, and yes I agree with you that it does get pretty annoying.

  • My sweets (kitty) has been more clingy with me and doesn't seem interested in H. I love it :) She won't lay on my belly anymore (her usual hangout) but lays just her head there or her hand. It is very adorable.

  • My dog lays on my tummy constantly now. But he refuses to sleep in bed with us at night lately. Now he sleeps on the floor right in front of the door. No sure what that's about.

  • Yes!  My 75lb chocolate lab (19 mos) is constantly laying on my lap, following me, laying next to me...basically being my tail.  Good to know my puppy isn't the only one.

  • My dog is obsessed with me now. He is 70 lbs and wants to lay with me all the time... Always wants to lay on my belly! I went to run errands the other day and was gone for about 2 hours. DH said the dog laid by the door and cried the entire time I was gone. I would say he is more clingy than ever!
  • Absolutely! We have two cats and two dogs. The older of the cats is like my little shadow. Every time I sit down on the couch he just appears at my side to cuddle me up, whether I like it not Stick out tongue. If I move around at all, he gives me an angry meow like, "Hey! You need to rest, quit moving!"

    We're at the IL's this weekend and brought the two dogs with us. The older of the two has pretty much been sitting by my side the whole weekend. He's not really interested in playing with my IL's dogs, who he usually loves. He just wants to sit by mommy and keep me company.

    This time I'm not leaving without you.
  • Yes my kiddos ( 2 cats & 1 dog), are much more lovey and protective toward me lately. Wherever I go in my home, I always have a shadow behind me. My kitties are always snuggling with my tummy and my dog sleeps beside my side of the bed every night. They're also a little more understanding and less cranky in the mornings when I don't just jump out of bed to go and fetch them breakfast lol!

  • We have a 2 year old beagle (my siggy pic) and she slept on my feet when I was pregnant with my daughter, which was strange because she is usually a "daddy's girl".  She started doing the same this pregnancy, and that is one of the reasons I took a pt!

  • Yes! My male dog has always been rather clingy since he prefers me to anyone else but now my female dog who is a total daddy's girl (I swear she gives me dirty looks if I interupt her snuggling with DH) has become clingy, too. She likes to try to lounge on my legs. Very odd. Sweet, though!

  • Yep, most of the time my dog sleeps on the floor next to me instead of in his comfy bed. I always ask him "Where's the baby?" and he nudges my tummy it's hilarious.
