Imagine having this problem with a great dane that is currently at 150 lbs. He barely fits in the bathroom and has to back out. We have a new puppy and he has already learned the bathroom trick.
The funniest part is I have to look up to be eye to eye or he will bend over to be eye to eye and will just sit there and wait until the flush sound and then he runs out scared for his life!

Before our golden Ruby passed this April she always had to follow me into the bathroom. I sure do miss her, it is so lonely in there. She always followed me and then scooted up to me so I could pet her and tell her how wonderful she was. I think she thought the bathroom was just our special time room!

tee hee. Bet you blamed a ghost first.
I don't have to worry about that. Things that run and make noise are enemies. They stay as far on the edge of the room as they can.

this was copied from email, have no idea where it came from to start with
Dear Dogs and Cats:
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years --canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it " fur"niture.
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, they are an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3 Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and...
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children

..she would rest her head on the tub while i was bathing. and watch me with these pitiful looking eyes. i miss her so much
the JRT curls up in my dirty clothes and waits for me to finish bathing. they only follow me to the bathroom..but they watch my every move..look out if i put shoes on or grab my purse!
