My Lillie was like that as well when she was younger. I raised her from birth. I would always try cuddling up with her and she didn't want any of it. She didn't even want me picking her up. We use to laugh about it because I would pick her up and try to give her a kiss and she would completely snub me turning her head as far away as possible. It was almost like she couldn't stand me, lol.

As she got older though things changed, probably when she was close to a year old. She is now my biggest cuddle bug and sleeps under the covers with me every night and loves giving kisses and now even lets me give her kisses as well. It is a remarkable change from how she was when she was a baby. I almost gave up on her ever becoming a cuddle bug but I kept trying and loving on her and it all paid off in the end.

I'm not sure what made the change but they do seem to get more affectionate as they get a little older. Most of my girls have been very independent and didn't want much to do with me when they were puppies but they are all mamma's girls now.

Just keep loving on her and praising her and she will come around and before you know it she won't want to leave your side.
