Ripley Loves Her Dad

Ripley's been attached to me at the hip the past week or so. She can't possibly not follow me everywhere in the house. If she can't see me, she won't stay put.

At the office, she sleeps most of the day. During that time, I'll take the opportunity to run around the office and tend to my other tasks. Most of the time, I can get away with it unscathed, but other times, if she wakes up and doesn't see me, she goes to find me. Which, by the way, I find incredibly cute.

At home, if I'm sitting on the couch watching TV and she's next to me sleeping, she'll get up and follow me even if I take only 4 steps to the Nintendo Wii I got last Sunday to put in a game, lying at my feet. Everyone say it... awwwww!

She'll occasionally walk over to the other side of the room, but she'll turn around and look at me and then fall asleep. If I go in the bathroom and close the door, she'll scratch at the door until I open it. Again... awwwww!

It's certainly nice to feel that loved, and it's awesome to have someone (or in this case, my dog) be so attached to me. Now all that's left is a girlfriend.
