My yorkie is named Bentley too!! He has always been loving and affectionate. He likes for me to cradle him like a baby in my arms and rock him in the recliner. He'll go to sleep in 2 seconds if I do that. He has to be by my side at all times. Even when I'm on the computer he wants me to hold him.
I've heard the same thing about girls though but that's not going to keep me from getting one
