Jealous! Jealous! Jealous!

[MariannB]

We love our Maggie more than anything and feel like she is our baby... but it would be so nice for my husband and I to sit on the couch together without her either barking her brains out and play bowing or better yet, climbing on top of us and not budging. We both love to pet, cuddle and love her like crazy, but we need help!
Anyone else's boxers jealous?
My big concern is when we decide to start a family - she might be jealous and eat the baby!!! She has never shown a mean side to her and we have had her since she was a puppy. But I'm getting a tad bit concerned..

Lacie will bark and wine if we are rough housing and YES sometimes if we are just to close. But then i will have her sit with us and she is fine.

Lexi is extremely jealous and very clingy to mama. She will on occasion growl at Baxter when she wants to have "lovey" time with mommy only. She however is alpha and this is not uncommon for her. She never growls at Daddy though. She will sit with us on the couch but she has her favorite spot there so we let her in her spot at the end and we sit down NEXT to her. Get a baby blanket and sleep with it for a few days and then place it at the end of the couch and she will find comfort in curling up in it next to you. Good luck, I hope this works for you too!
