One of mine cowers when I go to pick him up too.... it is heartbreaking because he does look like a beaten dog... and he is SOOOOO not! My friends tell me that they want to come back in a second life as my yorkies! LOL So I don't know the deal with that.
Both of them though, when they want to be picked up they will turn their back to you and give you their butt so that you can pick them up so they are looking out. haha Ive had to tell everyone who picks them up that that means to pick them up, they give their butt to you! LOL
