Is your dog a "mama's boy?"

[jennifert9]

It's just something about those boy dogs and the way they love you. Girls are loving too but the boys have that something else that makes them different. I'm sure you know what I mean.

I read this post by Candy (Dixieland Dancer) in Anna's thread and I thought about it all night....
Duncan is SUCH a mama's boy!! I don't know if it's because he's the only pet I have and it's always been just the two of us...(until now of course, since I live with Collin, my boyfriend.) but he is just a loverboy to me. We cuddle every chance we get, we sleep "spooned", he puts his face next to mine and we talk and kiss and love each other.....
If I get up and leave the room, he comes with me always. Whatever room I am in, he is in, even the bathroom
He will guard the door of that room in case someone else tries to come in and "get me." If I leave the house, even for a minute, he barks at me(I think he is begging me to either stay or take him with me!) and runs to the window to watch me. And then, of course, he greets me at the door as if I have been gone for years!
But with Collin, whom he has known all his life, he is oblivious...doesn't care where he goes, what he does, EVEN IF HE HAS FOOD!!!
He just loves his mother to death. And I of course, love him twice as much

I just wondered, after reading what Candy said, if any of you have noticed the same thing with your boys...especially if you have more than one pet?

Reece is a TOTAL mama's boy... but then again so is Lolly.

Reece loves all people and will jump from lap to lap in a room full of people. The second I stand up to leave the room though, he is right at my side. When we go for walks at the off-leash park, he ALWAYS makes sure he knows exactly where I am. He loves my boyfriend to death, but he won't follow my boyfriend unless I'm coming too.

I love my boy!

Fenway is SUCH a mama's boy. When I take him to the dog park, he usually sticks by me like glue. People will come up to him and say "you're such a mama's boy". They get a kick out of it. Since he's only 20 pounds we can't exactly "spoon", but we cuddle and kiss and look into eachothers eyes.

He's my little baby.

Bozy is a major mommas boy and a wussy to boot. I think Buddy may be as well but he's too new to know quite yet.

[luvofallhorses]

Buster is such a mommy's boy, he cries when
I am not home or gives me a kiss with his whole
nose, remember, he only kisses with his nose.
Rocky is more of my dad's dog but altogether
he's a family dog

How about your dogs being a mommy's girl?
Jenny is my baby girl, she listens to me and
not my mom when I tell her to come inside.
LOL! It makes my mom look bad

Ginger is my mom's dog and follows her
EVERYWHERE

lol my girls are bigger mommas girls then my boys are mommas boys, Misty normally hangs around me but somtimes with my mom too, Happy however is always with me pretty much, if I am on the computer she is sleeping either on my foot or beside it, if I am on the couch she is bringing me toys or lying on the floor beside me, when I go to the bathroom she gets up and follows me. Misty I cannot go places without pretty much, everytime my mom goes to take her somehwere Misty is standing with her paws around my waist looking me me like "arent you comming mom?" she is like my shadow, exept when I am on the computer she is either on the couch with my mom or sitting on the chair beside me lol. Perky is my moms mamm's girl too. our boys are ahppy to cuddle and be anyones baby lol they are differnt in the way that they love everyone, and will even run away just to find more people to love them, the boys are the onlky ones we have to worry about in that way, the girls are like our babys that would never leave our side.

My Zipper is definitely a "mama's boy". He meets every criteria and has me wrapped around his precious paw. I love it.......

[Samantha Puppy]

Samantha is pretty darn evenly split. She loves me, follows me around the house, comes to me to go outside (though I'm trying to get her to realize that Daddy is capable of getting up and letting her out too). But she'll go up to my husband and gaze at him and lazily start licking his hand. It's sickening, the look in her eyes. Pure adoration. She does not do that with me. So she's a Mama's Girl, but she's also a Daddy's Girl too.

[Dixieland Dancer]

Dusty is definitely "momma's boy" and I love every second of it! My favorite part of this is the cuddles! He lays his head on my lap if I'm sitting or on my shoulder if I'm laying. We snuggle nose to nose and gaze into each others eyes! He definitely makes my heart very happy!!

[anna_66]

Oh yes Jennifer, Bon is definately a momma's boy! He does the same thing you say Duncan does. He follows me from room to room never letting me out of his sight (he's my bathroom buddy too). At night he has a nice bed to sleep in or he could even sleep on dad's side of the bed, but nope...he's gotta sleep on my side. And my side doesn't have alot of room becuase it's on the side where the wall is. I tell you, if he gets much bigger we're going to have to pull the bed out so he can get in better!

He does love his daddy, but not the way he loves his momma

I had to quote the majority of your post because word for word it describes my Tucker, every single detail you describe including the spooning.

My prior three dogs were all females and I never thought I wanted a male dog. Tucker was adopted inspite of his being a male and look what I lucked up upon. Even though my Bailey was my dog of a lifetime and Tizzie my sweet little innocent and Hannah is my alter ego, Tucker is the one who loves me the most.

I have never had a boy...but Gracie is certainly a mama's girl!
But then she WANTS to be a daddy's girl so bad..daddy loves her but nothing like mom does!

[Glacier]

Earle is a total momma's boy. He's a big suck and I like it that way! He completely lacks the aloof, independant nature huskies are supposed to have!

Ozzy is also a big momma's boy! He has recently decided that I am the greatest thing since milk bones. When he's in the big yard with me, he matches his stride to mine and walks with his head on my thigh. I trip alot when Ozzy is out! Course, his momma boy antics are part of why I recently caved and adopted him!

I have one girl who is a big momma's girl--Sleet. She's my canine soulmate and she knows it.

Most of the dogs will come to me before Stuart, even if they aren't sucky about it. I do most of the dog care around here and Stuart doesn't do treats. The dogs know who has the biscuits! The only exception is Muskwa. He is all Stuart's. He tolerates me because he has to! The only time Muskwa comes to me first is if he's hurt. Apparently, he also knows who pays the vet bills!!

Hydro is a mama's boy, especially when it's storming outside.

[bckrazy]

Gonzo is so so much a momma's boy.. I like it that way! He has to know where I am at all times and only listens to me. I guess he's just a velcro-dog, like most BC's
