The receptionists/vet techs at Billi's vet office all go bananas over her. One of the girls is like, literally in love with her & gets really excited about seeing her- she does hold her & carry her around and to her desk, etc. I don't mind, because I'm usually getting her records or my wallet out of my purse and they aren't hurting her. Billi does enjoy the attention, too. I think if she wasn't so friendly, didn't like the girls, then yeah, I'd make sure no one could hold her. But if she's happy, then so am I
