Is there any professionals here who can identify what a stalker is. I definitely have a problem

[Duncanpup]

It’s getting worse no personal space example today I left the house to get the mail looking out bay window was my stalker. I was not even gone two minutes and back in the house the tippy taps start as in my goodness you’ve been gone forever i was worried.
I grilled cheeseburgers earlier and my stalker sat on the sofa next to me just staring hard as i ate touching me with his paw . Then about two hours later i went to the kitchen. At this time my stalker was asleep on couch all four golden paws in the air.
Yet when I was in the kitchen mixing vanilla ice cream with peanut butter i turned around and there was my stalker looking at me.

Is this a healthy relationship just wondering if Dunc the 78 pound chunk has ulterior motives in our relationship.

1. I'm just an amateur, but I think

You have been giving poor Dunc encouragement. You have only yourself to blame, you flirt!

[FullySupportDems]

2. If he's a Labrador, that explains it

All food must be "tested" by the lab 😋

[Duncanpup]

4. Golden retriever

Yet we had a lab and four hollow paws.

[FullySupportDems]

7. My big yellow lab almost looks like a Golden retriever

And he has a big mouth in every way

[DENVERPOPS]

29. The best dogs I ever had

were a half golden lab, half wolf......and his sidekick was a golden retriever........

I've had six dogs since, none of which came close to those two...........

[FullySupportDems]

40. They sound absolutely magnificent

[AKwannabe]

49. My Zeus was part golden and part wolf

The best boy.
He crossed the rainbow bridge May 2, 2018.

[DENVERPOPS]

55. Every time I have to euthanize one of my dogs

I die a thousand deaths and am a wreck for weeks or months.......Never wanting to go thru that grief process again, I swear I am never again getting a new dog.............but I always do.............

[lavoosh99]

59. It's been my experience

that whenever a pet dies, a small piece of our soul goes with it.

[SheltieLover]

3. Dependent personality disorder with histrionic traits?

[Duncanpup]

6. Can you do FaceTime counseling

Sheltie lover

[SheltieLover]

10. Only in certain states, Dunc.

[Duncanpup]

12. Never mind Sheltie yet thank you counseling will not work.

Dunc thinks his shit is golden what an ego.

[SheltieLover]

15. Pffffft

[COL Mustard]

42. Don't blame the victim!!!

Stalking of this kind is horrible!!!

[PJMcK]

5. If I were you, I'd be scared. Very scared.

You never know what a stalker could be up to. If they've gained access to your home, you're in deep trouble. It sounds to me like you have two choices: Either ignore your stalker or give them a bath.

Good luck!

[Duncanpup]

8. Excellent advice

He goes to groomers Friday

[EYESORE 9001]

9. I've got bad news

You’re dealing with a stalker who can keep you under nearly constant surveillance. With his nose. Roughly 100,000 times more sensitive than yours or mine. Hearing is none too shabby either.

[SheltieLover]

11. The real danger is if stalker gains access to your fridge.

[Srkdqltr]

13. How cute.

[Clouds Passing]

14. They stare into the very core of the food, sometimes drooling, as if they can will it into their mouths.

Sitting so close they impede your ability to eat. Stalking in the kitchen. Stalking in the dining room. Stalking on the sofa. Stalking every step you take. Yeah, I’d say, you’ve got a stalker big time!

[Nanuke]

16. We had a similar stalker.

He was a Golden named Brandy and weighed over 100 lbs (with a big build and a giant head). He stalked us in our tent when camping, in the boat and lake when fishing, and in our bed at night, which became crowded. I bought him from a line of pedigree duck hunting dogs as a gift for my then husband. He was a total hunting failure—got tangled up in all the decoys, swam to a deserted island waiting for rescue, and would not put a feather or duck in his mouth. Miss him so.

[Duncanpup]

17. Bed cuddles are the best

Brandy was best pup.

[10 Turtle Day]

48. Glad you tolerated his hunting failures...

A certain former SD governor/monster would have given him a sudden end in a gravel pit instead of loving on him.

[Evolve Dammit]

18. protection order??

[Jerry2144]

19. Respectfully, you're the problem

Dunc is not getting enough attention. Don't you know he deserves all of it?

Please give him an ear scritch for me

[Duncanpup]

23. Absolutely

[Warpy]

20. Nothing wrong with a furry stalker with four feet

Shoot, I had a tomcat who displayed classic drug seeking behavior after minor surgery. He really seemed to like that buprenorphine, although he hated the taste.

[Duncanpup]

24. Hilarious

[maspaha]

21. I *hope* you don't have a stalker...

…although now maybe I understand how my St Bernards see me…

…but in my defense, I readily admit I’m probably inappropriately attached to them…

🐾🐾🐾🐾
🐾🐾🐾🐾

[Duncanpup]

25. I understand

You can’t beat furry love ❤️

[WestMichRad]

22. In reality...

You’re just a large meal walking on two feet.

Sleep well tonight!

[hlthe2b]

26. NO cure for the OCD in that relationship, I'm afraid. You've been CHOSEN!

[littlemissmartypants]

27. You have a serious problem. Have you tried a restraining order?

I have the same issue. She's not even ten inches tall and weighs almost 3 1/2 pounds. If I breath heavily, she's on alert.

I've been forced into carrying her around in a front facing baby carrier shirt.


Because she's so tiny that I've stepped on her. I tried a bell but she chewed it up so it won't ring.

She has a backpack that she loves to get into and ride on my back, in the house. If I leave her sling carrier out she'll get in it and bark.

I'm in big trouble. She's my little velcro puppy and I love her.

Let us know if you find a cure for that last part. Love is usually always a sign of trouble.
😉

You're so much fun and entertaining. I understand the attraction.

We love you and your stalker. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

❤️

[patphil]

28. Yeah, you have a problem.

There's no real defense against this, but I suggest tummy rubs, rubs behind the ears, and a lot of "whose your daddy asks, followed by treats and long walks.
It's incurable, but you can contain it, especially if you are willing to acknowledge who's in charge.

Of course that's if you can accept Dunc as being the one who rules the relationship.
Surrender is your only recourse. May God have mercy on your soul.

[LoisB]

30. All I want to know is (1) Did you share the cheeseburger and (2) Did Dunc get any ice cream?

I wouldn't say he was "stalking" you, more like looking out for your best interests (and his).

[Duncanpup]

32. Yes on both burger and ice cream score

Dunc thanks you for your concern LoisB.

[LoisB]

37. Dunc The Golden Retriever has fans.

[Jacson6]

31. Get a new dog!

[ProfessorGAC]

33. Sorry, Nothing Will Help

Seems like every time I turn around there's this black creature with floppy ears right there.
Geez, often he's right there laying in the back seat of my car.
Don't get me started on his little orange accomplices.

[Duncanpup]

34. You want to start a support group

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Sure. As long as...

...half the meeting is reserved for talking guitars!

[Duncanpup]

47. Absolutely

If we lived closer together we would have already been jamming together Vince you Dunc and i. Not to brag yet Dunc is quite accomplished on a squeak toy. Professor an analogy i once told a young man who i was showing S.R.V. technique i said you have to attack with your picking hand play hard and Duncs squeak toy style is definitely hard on the attack.

There are times where Dunc practices his squeak toys Furrever mornings afternoon evenings. Why even in bed in middle of the night he’s dedicated.

[MLAA]

65. Dunc knows Practice Makes Perfect. Those toys aren't going to squeak themselves!

[Duncanpup]

66. He's professional level MLAA.

[IbogaProject]

36. Consential fairplay

I'm taking the pup's side and fell you were being a tease.

[Tetrachloride]

38. Walk , don't run.

Have you tried reverse psychology?

Carry a mirror?

[Mountain Mule]

39. My stalker is relentless

When I sit down on my couch to watch Rachel, my stalker jumps up next to me and appears to drink in her every word. When I step outside, my stalker is right behind me, demanding that I take him on a ten mile walk. Of course, he's right there when I go into my kitchen to fix myself something to eat. He demands a tribute of a chunk of raw hamburger or a container of Amy's Pad Thai to lick out. He even follows me to bed and snoozes beside me all night long. How awful is that?

Worst of all, my stalker is getting to be older and I'm just not ready to consider existential worries when it comes to his regard. My stalker should live forever as far as I'm concerned. He may just be a mutt that I got from the pound; he may just be a hound who likes to sing along with the local coyotes; he may just be a gangster of love who almost knocks me down when I return from buying groceries; but I love my stalker and his stalking ways with all my heart. May all stalkers everywhere live long and thrive!

[Duncanpup]

43. Yes

[Donkees]

41. Seems he took your recent advice very seriously: ''Start stocking up on essentials.''

Thinking about food insecurity just gives him a much bigger appetite and insecurity

''Just a suggestion to my D.U. Neighbors. Start stocking up on essentials.''

[AllaN01Bear]

44. peanut buter aand vanilla ice cream? hmm.

[airplaneman]

45. The real question is does he love you or is he just using you for food?

[Duncanpup]

46. We're madly in love

[Bernardo de La Paz]

50. Seems a benign stalker. Only get worried if your stalker starts putting on orange makeup. . . . nt

[Trueblue Texan]

51. I have 3 stalkers...

The only time I get any time unsurveilled is when I can get the bathroom door shut before they push through it.

[Buddyzbuddy]

52. We should all be so lucky.

[milestogo]

53. My stalker appears when I use the can opener or open the refrigerator.

He can be in hiding and then suddenly, there he is. He stares at me while I am eating.

I think this type of stalking is fairly common and very healthy.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

54. The bigger story is "mixing vanilla ice cream with peanut butter" What?!? Yummm! nt

[TexLaProgressive]

56. I feel for you dunc.

I've given up, my pointy ears long tail stalker is holding me down- she's sleeping off a bad night of thunderstorms.

Just give Blondie some love.

[JoseBalow]

57. I nicknamed my stalker "Creepy Watson"

And the name has stuck for years

(1:42)

[twodogsbarking]

58. Our dog is my shadow. A white one.

Anyone old enough to remember White Shadow on Mickey Mouse Club original.

[Permanut]

60. I think I see the problem .

But just to be sure -

Are you spoiling him rotten? I know that's your job, but this could be a side effect. There is no cure.

[Figarosmom]

61. Yeah he wanted

Your cheeseburger and ice cream.

[TBF]

62. The retrievers were all amateurs compared to our gsp -

literally velcro.

[UTUSN]

63. Mine has a peeping tom thing for when I'm on the loo. - "On" the loo, correct idiom?

[Bluethroughu]

64. I've got one that does heavy breathing in my face

At 3:00AM and wants me to follow him out into the night while he snoops around...I'm exhausted by him, but I love him.
