Thank you so much. I am going to print this. I try to tell the other family members not to encourage her, but her daddy always gives in. Now maybe he will get the picture.

We have had her checked at the vet...she does have skin allergies but they agree she is doing this for attention.

Yes, I meant that the dogs are not left alone all day, not that I stalk her. She is a great dog, she just believes that she should be petted all the time, not just when she deserves it.

Thanks again for the great advice.
