Mia's 3 years old now and very independant. When she was younger, she would sleep on our lap, but now...no way. She does like to lie down next to you or at your feet, but she does not like to be held at all. AND she likes to cuddle more next to my husband than me. I don't like that one bit, but I think that she thinks if she cuddles next to me, I will start brushing her or clean her eyes (she does not like that very much). Of course, I am the one that does most of the brushing and cleaning (stuff that she hates) so my husband looks like the good guy and me the bad guy. Also, she loves to get kisses when I get home from work or when she wakes up in the morning, but only for a few minutes, it's playtime after that. Although in the morning, she loves to get her massage and she could stay in bed for a while. And when she's sleeping, she does not like to be touched, she will move from her spot to another one so she won't be disturbed. BUT whether she likes it or not, I have to give her lots of kisses ALL DAY. My husband says that she really loves our kisses, she just doesn't want us to know that. Don't get me wrong, when she feels like it she will come and give me free kisses for no reason at all, it just depends on her mood I guess.
The reason why I want to get another Yorkie is in hopes that the next one will be more affectionate. I would love for my dog to cuddle with me.
