Have you ever met a dog who is TOO affectionate non stop?

I am an animal person. I own and love animals but right now, I’m dog sitting my mom in laws dog (small medium size, idk the breed) and I can’t get away from her even for a moment. Honestly it’s really bad. The dog is literally on my heels no matter where i go or how far and usually it’s not far like even to move from chair to couch. She’s used to visitors and used to not being around her main owner but she literally puts her nose in my face if I’m not directly interacting with her ALL the time. I also have a cat of my own who I’d also like to attend to and there’s just no way I can. I also have computer work to do but unless the dog is joined to my hip I guess I won’t be able to set some time alone for that.

Wtf causes this kind of behaviour?! It’s annoying af! Even to close the door and be away she will scratch the door and whine till you open it.

Co-worker invited me over I sat down and the dog went straight for the groin the whole time I'm pushing the dog away. It was too awkward so I made an excuse to leave.

I get this too. When the in-laws are here it’s kind of like that too. The dog is all over us. But there’s more people so at least the attention is divided but it’s still annoying af. She has no discipline. @FloorGenAdm

Let me guess - your coworker did nothing to discourage it? That’s how my in laws are.

@FloorGenAdm yeah my in-laws tell us we should “just push her away” but it’s not my job to do that. It’s not my dog and it’s constant. I’d be doing it the entire time. We dread the dog.
