Girl, Inte-ruff-ted.

A UK woman melted hearts around the web after filming her two dogs trying to soak up her attention during her bath time and drinking from the tub. She posted a clip of her privacy-violating pups to Facebook, where it has racked up more than 4.2 million views.

“I like them being needy, but I could do with some space in the bath,” Ursula Aitchison told Kennedy News of the adorable crashing, which occurred Oct. 20 while the 33-year-old London native was spending a night at one of the city’s swanky hotels.

The mother of one had climbed into the bath for what she hoped would be “a nice bit of relaxation” before dinner. Unfortunately, her soak session was interrupted after her golden retrievers Huxley, 2, and Hugo, 7, barged in to join the fun.

“They were both lying on the floor, watching me in the bath, but then they crept nearer and nearer,” mused the incredulous owner.

The accompanying one-minute footage shows the inquisitive pooches eyeing a bewildered Aitchison from the side of the tub, where they reportedly stayed for the “entire bath.” All the while, Huxley drinks the bathwater like he’s sampling a bowl of human hot pot.

“I feel like I was the teabag in that situation,” lamented the homeowner, who lives with her 11-year-old son, Maxx.

The clip ends with the encroaching canine lapping water from his mother’s back, before seemingly placing a reassuring paw on her shoulder.

“I had nice clean water contaminated by Huxley. I needed a second bath after that,” she said.

Suffice it to say, the peanut gallery went wild over the FOMO-filled furballs.

“Looks like Huxley loves Ursula soup,” gushed one fan on the video on Aitchison’s Instagram, which boasts 224,000 followers.

“Omg Hugo’s face I can’t even,” wrote another.

This isn’t the first time her personal bubble has been popped by her pooches, who, despite having their own room in the house, follow their human everywhere from the bath to the bed.

“It doesn’t matter where you are in the house,” rued Aitchison. “If I go out into the garden, they’ll follow me there, and if I’m eating, they’re constantly underneath me. I get no personal space.”

Even if she tells them to scram, “a minute later they’ll come back again,” the besieged gal added.

Nonetheless, the dog mom loves her pets so much that she’ll never fully put her foot down.

“They can both get away with anything because you can’t be strict with them,” she said.
