Sari answered Thursday January 31 2008, 3:42 pm: My husband and I have this situation with our Beagle. I work nights and he works days so when he gets up or gets home my husband feeds her. She waits, every day, staring out the window for him to get home because she knows when he gets home she'll get food. Other than her always being super excited to see him when he gets home I see no ill effects from this process. She's really my dog because I raised her (my husband left for a year on business when she was very little) so she always runs to momma for everything OTHER than food. I also spend more time sitting with her petting her. She sleeps with both of us (whomever happens to be sleeping since we work opposite shifts) and seems more than happy to assist in occupying the bed either way.
Now, if you're trying to get the dog not to come to you then just don't feed it and don't pay attention to it. Then it will go to your boyfriend. I hope this isn't what you're planning to do because all pets diserve love so keep on loving it and it will keep loving you!
