Just Curious...

Okay everybody, just curious how many of your sheepies follow you around the house (yes, to every room including the bathroom) or lay at your feet while your on the computer???? I'd include the couch, but we all know how much they like laying on the couch with us (since they KNOW they are our equal).

I cant get away from Panda......even when we play hide and seek, it only takes her mere moments to find me....I cant even take a private shower...she opens the door and then just stares at me until Im done..
Kim, Welcome to the site. The answer to your question is very easy. Just find out how many OES there are worldwide and that's the answer to your question. :lol:

They're born with velcro bodies. If you do slip away for a minute they're hot on you're trail. :roll: But, loving, caring and devoted forever.
I don't think it's possible not to have at least one with you in the bathroom.
When I'm cooking I have 4 on the floor, they block the fridge and all the bottom cupboards, ask them to move and they look at you like "what? You want me to MOVE? Why?" If you drop anything run for your life or you'll get trampled :D Try to sit down to read at least one is in your lap, helping you read :roll: You can't even see the book !
Don't forget waking up and being nose to nose with one!
Bogart shadows us everywhere, especially the kitchen!

He is like a weathervane. When he is lying down, his nose
is pointed toward us... this enables him to closely watch us
so he does not miss out on a snack!! :D
When I'm on the computer Bailey usually stays right at the office door so that he can stay on the tile floor. But this week I have 2 sheepies (we're dog-sitting) and there's a constant battle to be the closest sheepie to me.
Same with Chumley -- she does all of that. I don't know enough about dogs to know if its a sheepie thing or a dog thing.
Hehe now I have a 'slipper' for each foot when I am on the computer! Both dogs only follow me around (how did I get so lucky :lol: ) Avalon will occasionally follow hubby, but Merlin is my velcro boy. Sometimes when I am in a hurry to get some housework done...pups have to go in their beds or outside so I dont have 2 additional helpers (Avalon has 'issues' with cleaning tools...dont know what happened at her other house...she attacks brooms and vacuums! :roll: )
Kim, Ive had Panda since she was seven weeks old and she attacks the vacuum too....I think thats a dog thing....
LOL Darcy, Merlin doesnt even move when I take out the vacuum...he looks at me as if he is saying "what do you mean I have to MOVE out of the way"? LOL
None of my other dogs ever bothered with the cleaning tools either. I am trying to 'desensitize' Avalon with the broom first. It is very difficult sweeping with a dog hanging on the broom LOL
more than the full size vacuum, Panda loves to attack the dustbuster...the funny thing is...if I am dustbusting around her food bowl, she gobbles her food right up...like she is afraid that Im going to suck up all of it...lol..
I have not gone to the bathroom by myself in 18 months.
There might be medications that can help that... :twisted:
Pepsi is at my feet 95% of the time. 4% of the time he is loving his Daddy. The other 1% he is sitting in the front hall on the tile floor. If I don't allow him in the bathroom while I take a bath he gets very very angry :evil: and will scratch on the dog.
However when he is stuck in the bathroom while I bathe he is not to happy about that either :roll:

As for Vacuums, Pepsi is fine with them... He just gets out of the way.
Harley is the evil one who attacks the vacuum. You should see the bite marks 8O ...and the poor vacuum is only 7 mos old. He grabs it and literally will lift it off the ground while attacking it....EVIL SHEPHERD!!!

LOL -- very unexpected remark!

Yeah, but with the dog I don't need a prescription!
Jasper is just like my 2 year old...with me ALL the time! lol
Max also must constantly be where I'm at :roll: If I sneak away for just a moment, my husband tells me that Max gets extremely anxious. I'm not exactly flattered by this, I know it's because I'm the one who is with Max the most. He also will follow me to the bathroom, I can't have one moment of peace, he even has nerve to tug at my underwear :oops: Hope he outgrows that!!!

Very true. There's no co-pay with an OES.
boo is the same she is always by my side :) if i manage to get out the door without her even for a few mins its hell to pay when i get back in she screams like a child.
Same for Drezzie. My husband works out of a home office on the second floor. Drez goes down first thing in the morning VERY carefully and with someone right beside her because of just waking up and the stiffness in her back legs. :( Then Dale goes upstairs to work (after I've left for work) and pretty soon he hears her huffing and puffing and dragging herself back up the stairs so she can be with her Daddy. :roll: She goes downstairs with him for lunch, then will stay there until Mommy gets home. For a gimpy old girl, she gets herself around to be with her people when she wants to! :lol:

That is TOO funny! What a cheeky fellow you have LOL!
Our cat, Riley, follows us too. Once, my husband hollered for me to come into the bathroom. While he was sitting on the "throne" Riley had climbed into his underwear and was laying in there like he was in a hammock. What I wouldn't have given to have a camera right then! It was a hoot!
That's hilarious!!! Can't wait to tell that story to my sister in law! And, some people think animals are dumb! If they only knew!!! Would've loved to have known what the cat was actually thinking! :lol: :lol:
Lennon guards the house entrance so no one can get in or out without his supervision. Sofa is always at my or Danita's feet. If any of us goes to the bathroom, they stand guard by the door. It's like having two furry shadows!

If we let them out to the backyard and they get bored, first they scratch on the door, then they bark and as a last resource, they start howling. They sound soo sad.... But it stops the second they hear the door slide an inch and we have them sitting pretty by the door, ready to go inside again.

I haven't gone to the bathroom alone in almost 9 years :oops: now I have Tasker AND Ty at my feet!!!!!
I don't like to be left alone without my sheepies anymore. I start to hear myself thinking and that's scary enough.
You mean they don't talk to you??????
It scared me the first time, now I'm used to it. It's my own little voices I'm afraid of.
No, it's the sheepies, I'm sure of it. I hear it too!!!!!
