| Question for those with more then one yorkie I thought I posted this already--but I can't find it anywhere--- I have been thinking about getting a second Yorkie for awhile now, and recently I have really felt like it is the right time to add another puppy to our little family. So here is my question- Does your yorkie(s) still snuggle and love on you? Or are they preoccupied with having a friend to snuggle and play with? I have a friend who has 2 small dogs (not yorkies) and she says since getting a 2nd she has been really left out and her "lap dog" has become so excited to have a friend that her dog doesn't care that much about her anymore. Anyone have the same issues? I'd like to hear your stories and opinions please. (Sorry if I did already post this- I can't find it!) |

| Ours is the complete opposite. They fight for lap time! Well, not really fight but I have 2 on my lap and one snuggled up next to me. If one moves off, the next one moves on. And bed time??? One on my head on the pillow, one on my chest and one between my feet. I don't know who is where and I love it! All three play well together and they want alone quiet time too but snuggle factor has tripled!

| My first yorkie (Brandy) is my snuggly one. She has always been a lap dog. My second one (Titan) is not really very cuddly but will occasionally get in my lap. If anything, Brandy is even more of a lap dog because she wants to make sure that Titan understands that she is the boss and that lap belongs to her! As a matter of fact, Brandy is in my lap now and Titan is on the chair next to me.

| I got both of my yorkies @ 10 wks old and they have been cuddlers from the beginning. They both try to be on my lap together but the girl is a little bigger then boy so she usually gets pushed out LOL because he's smaller so he fits just right So she just lays next to me.

| I think it's the best of both worlds, they have some one else to play with or cuddle with if you are busy, so no guilt. But when I sit, I have 4 of them trying to all fit on my lap. It's funny, they all prefer me but occasionally one will get crowded out and go to my husband. But I am definitely the "mama" |

| My daughter has noticed that when she comes home with her yorkie, the dog does not play with toys like when she is along. She is too busy playing with the other dogs here. I have way more than 2 here. Each still wants attention. I just have to be careful that the ones that are a bit more reserve get their daily hugs. |

| My two love to play together and fight over their toys but they are definitely still snuggle bugs Right now Hoku is laying in my lap watching silly Kalani play with a squeaky toy and soon they will switch places. As soon as they get tired they will both want to lay in my lap for a short nap

| I have a yorkie and a maltese, and they are both cuddlers Miko and Emma both sleep above my head on the pillow or above my husband's head. They play together, but when it comes to mommy and daddy time, they are both trying to get in our laps

| I've noticed that my boy will only nap on our laps or he at least has to be touching us. If I move over he will look for me and go back to sleep lol he won't nap or sleep unless he can feel me. Is this a boy thing because my girl will cuddle but she prefers to find one of her favorite spots and nap on her own.
