Does my Boxer love us any more??

[Nat]

About a month ago, my husband and I moved in with my parents while we rebuild our house (we should be here for about 7 months).

During this time, my Mum and Dad are at home (as they are retired) with my 1 year old boxer. They go on walks during the day, beach runs, and my dad makes up lovely little meals for her......I have noticed that in the evening my little girl will sit at the door downstairs and try and get upstairs to where my Mum and Dad are. We always try to have "our time" , but I can see her grow closer to my parents - especially my Dad every day.

What should I do??

Also, one more thing....Mum and Dad don't like to have Leisel on the beds or lounges - but that is what we have always done....I know it is there house, but I just feel sorry for our little one!

One thing that I have learned about boxers is that they love everybody. Right now it may seem that your girl loves them more than you but I am sure that it is just a phase she is going through... Kinda like a new toy that they just love but grow tired of after a while. I am sure that she still love yall just as much.

Now as far as the bed and couch thing, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!!! My father in law is that way. He hates the dogs getting up on the couch to sleep and my babies are allowed to do that. I always feel bad when they get on the bed or the couch and we have to get them off of it. Thankfuly when we go to visit them that there is other family that we stay with now that has 2 dogs that are allowed up on the bed and couch so its all good now. I think that I have the runs of the mouth tonight, What I was getting at is that I understand. We always let our dogs get up there behind his back, Have a good night.

Sounds like Leisel is having a wonderful time with her grandparents! That's what grandparents are for, isn't it? To spoil the grandchildren rotten! So much attention and time, walks, beach runs, special meals...all sound like a dream for her (I should have such lovely days!)!
So with that in mind, I think not being allowed on the furniture is a small sacrifice for her other new pleasures!
And I wouldn't worry about her apparent preference of them to you right now. The thing with grandparents is, they spoil the kids rotten and then send them packing back home with mom and dad! The novelty may wear off (for all three of them) but she'll always love you best!
