my oliver is over 3yrs old & still can't pick him up unless on his terms, when i sit on the couch he is comfortable on my shoulders & when he gets overwhelmed like @ the holidays when a lot of people are around, i twirl my finger & he spins in a circle & thats my cue that he wants me to pick him up. i think it's a yorkie thing. good luck & so glas u got another they are such a great breed! merry christmas |
