 V> Well, Toby and I have been proud graduates for over three months now and I
 V> have a question. Why does he still keep following me all over the
 V> apartment, everywhere I go for any reason at all.

That is because he loves you, and the longer you have him, the more
he will love you, and the more he will want to be with you.  My
wife use to complain that her dog loved other people better than
her, but of course that was not true.  However, sometimes he would
come and lay down by me instead of her.  But, then they get use to
the whole family, and want to be with any of them.

 V> Unless my mutt is sound asleep, the minute he sees me move, he is right
 V> after me and often he tries to get right in front of me so I can trip over
 V> him!

     He will learn to get out of your way.  That should make you feel good.

 V> Are we just a strange team or does everyones guide mutt follow them where
 V> ever they go inside their homes, including the bathroom! Gee whiz. Even
 V> when I take a shower or bath, he wants to get in with me! In fact, once he
 V> even tried to get in the bathtub with my room mate!

     A lot of them don't like the water, and they usually draw the line there.

 V> Loyalty is nice, but is it supposed to be this nice? heheheh! Do you other
 V> mutt users experience this same thing?

From past experience, I would immagine that most due.  There would
be something wrong with your relationship if he didn't want to be
with you.

Now, that all of that is out of the way, it is good to see you on
here again.  Don't run off, and stay away so long.Now, I better
make sure that I said that right.

One night we had some company who was visiting us, and they had
stayed rather late, and when they left, I ment to say to them, You
all come back, and don't stay away so long.  But, I was a little
sleepy, and what came out, was, you all come back, and don't stay
so long next time. I had a little problem trying to correct that.
That is one advantage of putting something in writing, and it can
be checked before sending it out.
