Izzy will occupy any space on my body that she can balance on. From my lap to my hip to my elbow if that's her only option. She prefers me to anyone else at all times except bed time, in which she prefers my boyfriend. Cause he lays still. I have restless leg irritation ( I refuse to have a "syndrome" lol) so she gave up on me at night.
Toby refused to lay with me until I had him about two months, and he started out same as yours with only laying beside me butt first. And I learned that he would stay longer if I refrained from petting over and over. So I would let a hand settle on hi lightly and that was cool. I noticed he really despises being too warm, so maybe that has something to do with it too. But he's gradually grown more snugly with me. He actually curls up with me on my lap a lot now, when izzy will allow it or there's actually enough space for him since he's gigantic now. He was 10 lbs at 5.5 months. He's a sumo Yorkie. So I suggest respecting his distance and don't smother him and he will hopefully come around as Toby has. It's hard cause I felt ugly there for some time from Toby's apparent lack of interest in me. But he came to his senses and I'll bet yours will too |
