Hi Mopar,

I don't think there is anything wrong with loveing your girl, and she oviously loves you just the same, that is a beautiful thing.

The extreame attatchment and bonding is a thing of German Shepards, my girl is to a German Shepard, and she is very bonded with me, and in alot of the same ways we are the same as you and your girl. Shepards tend to bond extreamly close to that "one special person" you are oviously her special person, as i am my girl's. They will protect you, look up to you, be extreamly devoted to you. The love and bond will be very intense. The other people in thier life are just friends, as they are good with people just only one special person gets to be that special one in thier lives.

As far as if something would happen to you, yes she would suffer greatly, and would miss you the rest of her life, some can over come it and move on, some can't and never develop that bond with anyone else, but they do live on, and can be happy if they are put in a loveing and good place. That is the most important thing is to have a plan on where she will go if that should happen, and let her know the peopel she would be staying with, so she will be as comfortable as possible. Now is this reason not to love her, no i don't think so, would i change anything, no, you two oviousy love eachother very much, and there is nothing wrong with that. She deserves all the love she gets, just love her, be there for her, and let her love you and you will have a long and happy life together.

hope this helps,

Tundra

thanks tundra ,yes i know what you mean about protecting me .a friend of mine was hiding behinde a building as we went for a walk .he jumped out and she walked in front of me to stop me then took an attac stance teeth showing and growling when she relised who it was she stopped but i think she would protect me with every thing she had .it just seems strange to me that were that mutch a match .i gess im so mutch in love with her its scaring the crap out of me ,im not ust to some one doing that so its new to me .i have 6 girl dogs i love very mutch ,its just different with her .the feelings are there and there very real thanks again take care mop.

Therz nothin wrong with how you and your dog get along. Sounds like u both are living a great life. Keep on livin' ;)

even me and my cat don´t have such a relationship :lol: ...and we love each other very much, as I can see it in her eyes, when she´s looking at me and purring at me :wub: ...I can´t see anything wrong in your relation...Just keep it like that :rock:

Have a nice day :)

The only way I could see this being a problem is if she has seperation anxiety, as that's a sign of unstability, but other then that I think you're fine!

Mo you are a very lucky person
I will pm you later..

I agree with what both tundra and sarx said. :)

thanks for the replys every one ,seperation anxiety ,im not shure about that we are always together .she does ok in the transporter while i go raceing but that dont take long .and she has 5 friends to keep her company .other then that were together .well thanks again mop.

About separation anxiety, that can be a problem sometimes, but not always the case, my Shepherd girl and me are almost exactly the same as yours, very much in love, unfortunaltly i have to work 12 hour nights 4 nights a week, and being in the truck building busness, (Oshgosh) I can't bring her to work :( My Shepherd girl gets more depressed at my absence, she won't eat her diner until i get home, and i guess it goes both ways, when I'm at work I miss her alot as well. I totaly agree with the strong bond you and your girl share, that is very special, cherish it and keep loveing her, and she will love you in return. Hope you both share many many wonderful years together

Tundra

I don't see any problem with your girl being so devoted to you, so long as you do your bit by making sure you're going to be around for her.

My girls are the reason I take my blood pressure meds every morning ^_^

The only alternative would be forcing a bit of distance between you, and I don't see that making either of you happy :mellow:

well i got to thinking of that ,if somthing should happin to me after last seasons crash i understand fully any thing can happin and it can happin fast at over 200mph .i hope some one would take care of them but i see now i need to make some arangements .thanks every one .

Tundra,


Excellent advice about making plans! I'll bet a lot of people never think of that.

Mine was a male dog and one day I had a slight accident and spent the next three weeks in hospital after they stitched my fingers back together. As luck would have it a close neighbor was able to look after him, at fist he would not eat. Every evening he would go inside and sit on my bed staring out the front window waiting, and then in the morning when he was let out he would rush up the driveway to my car and start whimpering when he could not find me there. When I eventually got home and as I opened the gate I noticed that he had lost several pounds in weight as he rushed to great me. For the next three days and nights it was like we were joined at the hip, if I went to the toilet he would keep scratching at the door if I closed it and when I showered he had to sit there watching. From that time on I have always had this thought "What If" and I have never been able to answer my own question.
