I have a question for you all - or rather mom does -
how much time do you get with your mom and/or dad? I mean quality, playing, cuddling type of time? the reason she is wondering is that she is feeling like she is not giving us enough attention. She works all day and is gone about 11 hours. We play when she gets home, then we have dinner and then we usually join her in the den while she does computer stuff. After that we snuggle on the couch and then we all pile in the bed for the night. She is at home with us when she isn't at work - but she wonders if just being at home with us gives us enough attention. No problems with us - she is just wondering how the rest of you spend your time.
Thanks

Eek!! Quality direct time.Hmm... My mommy is a multi-task type person. Very rarely is she ever doing one thing at a time. Maybe my mommy is bad. I will have to ask my human brother about this one.

Usually she is doing something else at the same time she is with me-chores, computer, telephone, reading, sleeping, tv , lesson planning, etc. I'm with her the whole time, but ya, she is usually doing something else in addition to spending time with me. Not to mention, halo is there too!

I think maybe I'll have to put some provisos up for my mama. naughty

That is great everyone! It makes mom feel so much better to know that she's not the only one with too much to do and so little time to spend totally devoted to us. Thanks everyone for sharing.

I don't seem to be sad at all when my mom is doing chores and things even when she isn't petting me or talking to me, although she usually is. BOL.

As long as we are in fairly close proximity, then it's all good for me. Halo, she likes to be on my mom's lap or picked up. She will always run over to my mom to pick her up, like a human baby.

We tend to follow mom around too - that's why we get so tired when mom is home on the weekends. One of us is usually on her lap when she's on the computer, but we have beds in the den where the computer is, so we can be close to her. When she sews, we hang out on the big bed cause the sewing machine is in our bedroom. And at night we all pile up on the couch and watch TV. Just have to see mom! Katie and Molly are more likely to ask for lap time though.

Yep, I wanted to use a certain bed today so I could watch Mom iron clothes.
She had a windchime that she had out to give as a gift hanging over the bed. I kept dinging it while circling to lay down, but it bugged me, so Mom moved it, then I could watch her iron!

wave Hi everywoof! I get to go to work with Momma and Daddy every day!cheerdancing I'm pretty much with them 24/7 and I do get lots of one on one while they drive from one account to the next at work. And Momma takes me out for several short walks every day at work, too.

But I am not spoiled.... AT ALL!!!winklaugh out loud

Penny Ann, Zelda Marie & Link all stay home with Rosie while Momma and Daddy and I go to work, but they seem happy enough. Momma always gives them a cookie before we take off in the morning and she lays down on the living room floor for lovin's and kissies the second she comes in the door at the end of the day.

Lately even my furblings get people time during the day because Link's momma and daddy (my furless brother & his wife) are both laid off from work and living with us.

At night, Link sleeps with Travis and Kaiti and us three girls all pile in with Momma and Daddy. Good thing they have a King Size bed!dog

I guess we all get tons of time with our peeps. Lotsa lap time and lotsa walks, too!cloud 9cheerway to go

Sparky, you all must be so well behaved to let your mama sew while you all sit there and watch!!

BOL, Trixie watching your mom ironing!! We are always watching my mom too.

Oh, Teddi Sue! I'm glad you get to have lots of walks and go to work during the day with your mom! How awesome!!

Sorry to hear about your furless brother & wife being laid off from work. I'm glad that they get to spend time with all of you though. I bet you all love the attention.
