Honestly, I didn't pick Meeko. Meeko picked me. I went to see "a male yorkie" for a great price from a local breeder (who raises show dogs). I thought I wanted a teacup. But while I was there she educated me quite a bit about teacups and informed me that this little guy would be a toy sized adult. I was wishy washy about him. Although during my visit, he "asked" for me to pick him up. I did and put him on my lap. Once or twice I sat him back down on the floor. But he would turn around and put his front paws on my leg, to be picked up again. How could I resist. She said that he doesn't usually do that. Normally, he likes to show off in front of strangers, jumping and playing around in front of them. But had never begged to be picked up.
Ever since, whenever he "ask", I pick him up!
