Loki is very independent. I too wanted a snuggler, but that doesn't always happen with Yorkies. My friend has a 2 lb one that always wants to be held probably because it's terrified of the world at 2 pounds. Loki, all 9 pounds of him, is not a lap dog but prefers to sit near my feet. He likes to touch me or sleep *near* me but not on my lap. I think a lap is just uncomfortable for them. He will follow me from room to room, but if I'm watching TV he would rather be in HIS bed on the floor than on the couch with me. He does sleep with my husband and me, usually near my chest or between my legs. He doesnt like an arm around him, but he does like to be touching someone. I taught him to give kisses on command and I've put his hyper independent nature to work in obedience classes. We walk EVERY day. We play all sorts of fun games. He's done fantastic in classes and we have so much fun together. His personality is priceless, his expressions are adorable, and he is just the smartest dog ever. I guess my point is that sometimes you don't just *get* a fabulous dog - you have to work hard to help your dog get there. Please don't get discouraged! |
