I have currently got some rather unpleasent bug which has meant I can't even keep down a sip of water!! Anyway I have struggled through work all day (kept going by not eating or drinking!) and managed to come into the house at 5.30pm.

Went straight upstairs and onto my bed and fell asleep fully clothed. Bear then followed me upstairs - straight onto my bed and lay down beside me (yes I know he shouldn't be doing stairs at his age).

At 6.30 my Mum wanted to put the dogs away in their room for the night (don't think she feels too great either) so up she comes to fetch Bear. Who doesn't even bother to look her way. So after a bit of encouragement he moved about 1/2 a meter down the bed, groaned and got himself comfy again. So she grabbed his collar and I had to put a toe behind his bum to get him down.

Once out of my room Mum let go of his collar and the little bugger turned around straight away and headed for my bed jumped up and came and stuck his head in mine, with his ears back crying at me and trying to snuggle right in for a cuddle.

The downside of this lovely show of affection was that I then had to get up to be able to take him downstairs so he could be shut away with the other dogs.

Now for the bit I think is possibly wrong...

I have banned my boyfriend from coming over because I feel so bad - yet I found it really nice and reassuring to have Bear lying next to me on my bed!!! Bear probably takes up more space than my bf would, is hairier and smells worse too!! Yet that cuddle from him melted my heart.

So is it wrong to prefer your GSD to your boyfriend?!?!
 
Of course not

My GSD has been my best buddy this week - checking on me all the time to make sure I'm ok because she knows how upset I am at the moment (after having my horse pts). She's an old lady and rarely bothers coming upstairs at all these days, but came up to see me when I was working in our study the other day. Definitely living up to the shepherding instinct.

Oh dear, so sorry to hear that, it's awful isn't it. My boy looked healthy and shiny and handsome but his feet were no good.

Sometimes it's just the only good deed left to do for them.

(((Hugs))) to you too. Go cuddle that puppy

I am single so only have GSDs, so definitely not wrong in my eyes.

Bear obviously felt his mum needed a cuddle. Sorry to hear about your horse, always such a sad time even when you know it is for the best.

TE I think you KNOW the answer to that one

No comment about letting him (the dog) on the bed, I think he would squash me.
I do use him to wake the OH up when he is stubborn about getting out of bed though, bit hard to sleep when you are getting a good face-washing!

Sorry to hear about your horse, and you too L.

 
I got Boss when I was a 19yo student and through the last 8 years we have been through some pretty rough times, some happy times and he's always been there, keeping me safe and giving me a cuddle when I need it, he never complains or moans, he doesn't have a go at me about the washing up and he never talks back... he's the perfect husband (but don't tell my OH!).
 
thanks all!

still feeling rough today! Have spent all day (from 9am till now) dozing on the toilet floor. And apart from when Mum took him up to work this morning Bear has been my constant companion!

I think the lovely thing is that there is no pressure or expectation from him, just comfort.

My Mum has had to take him downstairs again and shut him away with the other dogs. He NEVER crys at night but I van hear him now. He really didn't want to leave me. Hopefully tomorrow I might be able to stand without retching for England or nearly passing out and spend some fun time with him.
