LOVE this one! And if you DARE to close the door, they lie outside and try and sniff you out. Sometimes I swear our dogs think we’ve got a roast beef hidden in the bathroom!
I have this situation with four of my five cats. There is no possibility of brushing your teeth without a black one inside de sink, when you make her get out the Siamese wants a drink from the tap, and showering means 4 pairs of eyes on you. I always expect that one of them will point a dirty spot on my leg!
The greyhounds here will come in and actually sit on your knee if you don’t get the bathroom door latched. They seem to think that the toilet is the dog petting chair…
I think my 5 think there is a secret escape hatch I might use if they don’t watch me! LOL And our bathroom is tiny! They also get very excited if they hear/see me use the last of the toilet paper because they know one of them is going to get the empty tube to shred Thankfully they wait till the roll is done, but once it is, it’s fair game!
Oh my God! I have the same situation in my house, except it’s with 2 big Shepherd mixes & 2 Chihuahuas. The only difference is Chico, one of the Chihuahuas is usually in my lap. Too funny!
LOL – I have 5 greyhounds and they ALL will crowd in there with me if I don’t shut the door! OMG – they think Im going down the great white abyss … whining outside the door when its shut!!! Too funny.
ah yes, the same with my two dobes. I do obedience training and figured use that time for some productive use. I trained my Trevor to speak on command as I sat…. unfortunately, he associated speaking on command not to my hand signals but the fact that I was sitting. It was funny to the family who always knew when I was in the bathroom because a doberman was upstairs barking. Who knew how situational of a learner he was.. LOL
If you own a dog or two, you have experienced the “No Privacy” dog rule… My boy, Charlie Brown, comes in turns his back to me, sits and expects me to pet him and to scratch his ears…. if I don’t, he whines until I have no choice but to acknowledge him and do his bidding…
Replace the 3 big dogs with our herd of 5 dachshunds, a Min. Pin, a doodle and a Great Dane/Basset mix and you’ve got a picture of our house. All 8 in our tiny bathroom at once! I don’t dare close the door – all thescratching, whining and snuffling at the bottom sounds like the Big Bad Wolf getting ready to dine on the 3 little pigs! I’m sure the dogs think there’s something nefarious going on – or – maybe they’re afraid I’m going to vanish in the “big water bowl”?
Omigod! Jim, is there a hidden camera in my house, and you took a picture? My two Berners and my Saint Bernard always go to the bathroom with me all the time. And we are all welcomed by two of my cats there, too – Phoenix and Crosby, who think that’s the best opportunity to ask for some love.
If I don’t pet Phoenix, she shreds the toilet paper roll in a matter of seconds.
I have a St. Bernard and she does the same thing when I am going to the bathroom she will even put her body over my legs and want to be petted. And her little buddy, my Pekingese jumps up all over you. I know the feeling very well.
OMG — how true this is. My kids won’t ever let me shut the darn door. I guess they figure that I watch them, so what’s the difference!
Love your work…….. it’s the highlight of my day.

I’ll add to all the others. I push the door shut but if it doesn’t catch it will begin a tiny creaking as one nose gives a shove, opens a little farther when the second nose gives the shove and so on until all 4 dogs have entered and are so excited to see me after missing me for 2 seconds. Talls wagging, all over my feet, my knees and jumping up to kiss me. That’s Alex, Radar, Penne and Arielle! Gracious there has to be a “toilet” gene in all dogs!
You have seen Katie in the tub with me and she also shares the bathroom with me each time I am there. The other day, she was there with a ball in her mouth, I washed my hands and said “you better not drop that in the toilet”. It was like I said the magic word for instantly it was in the bowl. I get such laughs from this goldendoodle of mine. What joy!!!!!!!
Got ya all beat! Try 6 Border Collies and one Jack Russell mix! LOL!!! And if you close the door on them, they look SO hurt!!! One day I WILL mess with them, and go out the darned window.
No Sally, ya don’t have us all beat! Try 4 BC’s 2 Cresteds n 2 cats in the small bathroom on the main floor of my place. I’ve often thought of just going out into the yard to do my bussiness without them looming over me. But it’s winter now so maybe thats a bad idea?!? LOL
My dog, Bekka, stands in front of you and wags her tail. You can always tell when someone is in the bathroom by the beating sound her tail makes on the wall

If the dogs in the drawing were dachshunds, I would say this site has a web cam in my bathroom!

Now I know that I am a member of this club. They want to be with you no matter where you are or what you are doing. Unconditional love!
