usually when i'd pick Teddi up while he was sleeping, he would just mumble with a low growl. but i do remember the first time or two when i did this, he actually snapped at me, but stopped when he realized that it was just me moving him.
if your little one does this a lot, and not only when she was just sleeping and surprised, then it is a sign of aggression that needs attention like everyone has mentioned. one thing you could do is to not pamper her without her earning it. not just you but everyone in the family has to do this! Teddi is submissive usually only to me because i don't give in to him like other members of my family do.
