See, that's what I call separation anxiety. To me, clingy is always wants to be with you, adores you, they're there when you turn around.

I love my Clingy Shepherds, though they can entertain themselves when need be. - Jackie In a message dated 5/1/2006 2:59:35 PM Central Daylight Time, InquestGSD writes: You can't walk away without this dog going into hysterics. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
