I am concerned that one of my dogs is starting to like my girlfriend more than me. My three and a half year old American Bulldog mix (Ninja Lou) is still solidly my girl, but my one year old collie/whippet mix (Tangent Theta) has started down a path of consistent betrayal. I know it should be a good thing for our relationship, but I simply cannot help feeling disappointed every time she leaps off of my lap to find comfort in the arms of my SO.

Attachment 112890

I don't think I need advice on how to handle the situation, as I realize how ridiculous it is, but I am simply startled by the way I feel about it. Has anyone ever had something similar? Did you ever get over it? Or do I just need to have my office checked for toxic fumes that are addling my brain?
What a lovely picture!!!

My female dogs love my brothers more than they love me. They are b*t*hes what do I expect?!

share some pictures of my puppy





p.s. Maybe your dogs feel neglected by you. Just a thought. =)

2) This thread is too cute. The only thing I can say is that I would sad too if I were you, but what can you do?

Omg too cute!



In response to the OP, be grateful your dog and her get along. I hated my exes dog and the weekends she came and stayed at his place he refused to hang out, because the dog didn't like me (had extreme anxiety).

I would be in serious trouble if I had a puppy that little and precious. My dogs know how to negotiate better sleeping and playing terms with me by using their cute faces, but that little pup would bludgeon me into submission.
