Since Thursday it's been over 30C degrees, having a Belgian sheperd on my lap is not my idea of fun. When I'm doing things like cooking or cleaning she is constantly in way. When I go to the toilet or upstairs to get something she waits at the living room door making squeaky sounds. When the cat does something she thinks is naughty she starts making squeaky sounds. She's jealous when I give the cat any attention.
After three days of staying in I'm glad I'm working this morning. Granted, the weather also makes me more irritable than normal, but the clingy behaviour is really getting n my nerves. My friends' previous two dogs were much more independent and just did their thing, occasionally wanting to play or some attention.
Right now, cat Pien has the zoomies, making Keira squeak like crazy. I just told her to lie down on her pillow, that doesn't help with the squeaking but at least she isn't curled up against me for a little while.

You know, I've never seen a Belgian (Malinois? Tervuren?) that's needy. Did they rescue her, maybe?
Does she get a lot of exercise/walks?
