Its been a couple years so its hard for me to remember exactly when but I'd say Chloe didnt get cuddly until after 6 months. I remember feeling the same way you feel. I htink when they are puppies they are just too easily ditracted and busy playing, etc to be cuddly. Now it seems all chloe does is cuddle with me all day and now sometimes I wish she'd play a little more. They grow up so fast!
