Duke has been "Velcro Dog" for over a year since we adopted him from a shelter. Tonight was the first time that he has spent the night in the bedroom without me. He is always stuck to me like a burr.
Last night, my wife and I spent the evening (New Year's Eve) playing cribbage, dominoes, and other games, while sharing treats, and Duke might have felt a bit left out compared to normal times. Maybe we got a chance to break or weaken the dog/person bond just a bit... hopefully enough so that he can be more independent. He's a sweetie, but really clingy, and I think that's holding back his development. He is too smart and strong and curious to be stuck to my side.
