This post just might be of concern for you.
I have posted another article from The Dodo.
Because while 95% of the time this is a loving trait it is possible that the other 5% is an issue; your dog suffers from anxiety.

Why Does My Dog Follow Me Everywhere?
The cutest little stalker 😅
By DANIELLE ESPOSITO
PUBLISHED ON 9/11/2020
Have you ever noticed that no matter what room you go into, your dog will eventually follow along and sprawl out — seemingly watching your every move?
While it might make your heart happily flutter when you find your dog constantly right behind you, you might also wonder why that is.
That’s why The Dodo reached out to Dr. Andrea Tu, medical director at Behavior Vets NYC, to find out a little bit more.
“Your dog may follow you everywhere simply because they like you and want to spend time with you!” Dr. Tu said.
That’s the simple answer in most cases: Dogs are pack animals and tend to feel more comfortable when their pack — aka YOU, gahh how cute — is around them.
But there can be times when the behavior might be more serious than your dog’s natural pack mentality.
“If your dog truly is like your shadow and acts like he or she is attached to you by a bungee cord, this may be indicative of an anxiety condition,” Dr. Tu said.
According to Dr. Tu, there are other anxiety signs that tend to be missed. “Other signs of anxiety that are often missed include excessive air licking, especially when there is no food around, and yawning, especially when the dog is not tired or not at times when your dog would be sleeping,” she explained.
So while there’s a good chance your pup following you around is just out of love, Dr. Tu recommends that if you are concerned, you should speak to your veterinarian — or a veterinary behaviorist — to rule out a behavior condition that may need treating.

Our little Sweeny suffers from an anxiety issue and if he was the only dog we had then we would have a problem.
But because he mixes so well with all the other dogs it is more or less under control.
Overnight, as in last night, we were in for some heavy rain and the next few days see the arrival of Winter. Ah well, it was good while it lasted and it lasted for some considerable time.
Learning from Dogs 
Mags is attached to me but she also has me time too. Hers is more pack mentality. We joke & say she has a fear of missing out or FOMO.

It has. The entire state is considered to be in either severe or extremely severe drought conditions. 😕

Ouch! The weather everywhere is changing. Back in England, my old home country, they have had the opposite: rain; rain; rain!

A lot of Europe has had loads of rain. Sadly just the opposite for us and with it being an El Nina year not likely to change, meaning it’ll be colder and drier than normal this winter 🥶

Nothing we can do about it, I regret. Anyway, whatever the weather you have a lovely weekend.
