Does your yorkie like to be pet?

parker · 03-06-2008, 11:02 PM

I said sometimes because its on Parker's call not mine, if he isn't in the mood then no way if not he will let me for days!

Kaba would be in heaven if she could sit on my lap while I pet her for 24 hours a day...she loves to cuddle.

Rascal loves ANY attention. The more the merrier!

nvnvgirl · 03-07-2008, 06:25 AM

If Max is sitting on my lap, or next to me on the sofa or in bed, he loves to be petted. If he's on the ground, sometimes he'll let you pat him on the head, but a lot of times, he'll pull back...not sure what that's all about....like he's playing hard to get or something

If Banjo is tired, he loves it! If he is up and active, he is to busy!! No time for sitting to be petted- he has toys to go play with!! LOL

BabyFidgette · 03-07-2008, 07:12 AM

When Baby was a puppy she did not like to be pet. She always thought we were playing and would "bite" our hand. Now she'll roll over to get her belly rubbed.

Shooter and Maggie love to be petted.

SladesMommy · 03-07-2008, 06:33 PM

Slade doesn't really like to be petted much. He'd rather be running around, wrecking the house.

TootiesMom · 03-07-2008, 06:42 PM

I said sometimes because Tootie LOVES it, and Hope says NO! She is very much a mommy's girl and I NEED to hold her if I am walking around the house and she MUST sit on me if I am sitting, but she really does not care to be hugged and loved on.... I have to hold her to brush, but Tootie will run to me if he sees me take it out...

Bella loves to be petted she just rolls over belly up. Roxy not so much. She loves to cuddle ( sleeps literally on top of me) but seems to be annoyed when i rub her..Like ok your disturbing me. I think she uses me ..haha

Sandbudd · 03-08-2008, 02:44 AM

Chelsea LOVES to be petted...and "asks" permission to get on your lap ~ then, she INSISTS on being touched...you don't even have to "pet" ~ just lay your hand on her little body and all is good...lol...but she's NOT spoiled!!! (And should you believe that...how about talking about some property for sale...) LOL...

kdlmon · 03-08-2008, 09:57 AM

Cooper is a cuddler, he likes to be on my lap whenever possible. But I put sometimes, because he is not always in the mood to be pet. Even when he is cuddling.

stedmansmommy · 03-08-2008, 11:06 AM

I voted yes because Tatum does...she just loves to be loved in general. Cuddling, hugging, petting, being scratched on her little booty above her tail....she loves it all

Stedman likes to be petted too, but sometimes if you go to pet him on his head (and it's ONLY on his head, no where else), he will kind of "duck", just a little bit...and I never understood why because that boy hasn't been hit a DAY in his life! Usually dogs will do this if they are scared of being hit, or have a past history of being hit....but it's not like Stedman has. He's always done that though....it is the weirdest thing

He will lay right beside you (really, really close, snuggled up) and sometimes in your lap, but he is NOT a "hold me" dog...and if you try and hug him close to you (like to your chest), he will pull away

I think he feels like he is being suffocated, LOL.

Tatum though? You could squeeze her to pieces...she doesn't care LOL

alaskayorkie · 03-08-2008, 11:09 AM

Jack loves to be held and petted all the time. Eddie is more like a cat. He decides who he lets pet him. Usually, it's my wife, but occasionally he'll allow me.
