hi again~*~

I have a 5 year old cocker spaniel mix. She's lived with me from when she was a puppy, and overall she's a really sweet dog. rarely barks, has never bitten anyone before, and overall a nice tempermant. Problem is, she cries whenever I leave. And she never used to either. It's been ever since I started the 11th Grade. My mom and dad are home, but yet she still cries. And when I do get home about 7 hours later, she literally jumps all over me, follows me and won't let me out of her sight. I had to practically beg my parents to get the dog I have no, so getting another one is out of the question.

Any dog owners have this problem, and how can I solve this one? </3
+rep for gud anwsers yes
