If you visited before and don't know what type of dogs we own, they are English Shepherds.
They are a lovely breed, and yes, they are hairy monsters, leaving ball of downy fur all over the place, but they a lovely medium sized dog, with a mix of guard dog and herding dog.
They come with a list of their own set of breed traits, and of these traits is to follow you around - everywhere.
Quite often while I'm walking around outside, (or even inside for that matter) It never ceases to amaze me how they can make me feel os darn popular, and all I did was walk across the back yard ! Its like having my own personal entourage following me about - but it can be most annoying at times.
Why?
Well, for one thing, they *have* to go everywhere you go, and try their darnest to make sure they stick to you like glue. Some days its so bad it makes me feel like I'm living with stalkers. No privcy in the bathroom, pushing the door open "what you doin in there?" They get offended if you don't take them with you in the car, and they can't understand why you won't let them in when their feet are wet.
They are easy to loose because they are so clingy that quite often if I back up without looking, I'm sure to step on one of them.
They have been told so often to "move" they probably think its a 'pet' name. However, when they do move, with mulitiple dogs, they just switch places.
They stick close to you no matter where you are - or aren't. I guess they are a breed that just is really bonded to the family and don't like to excluded from anything, even as boring as waiting around for office work to be completed.
At least they don't want your autograph, they rather sniff your crotch, or stick their nose up your bum while your putting your boots on - Oh they just did!
