Charlie loves to be held and carried like a baby, on his back in my arms. He also gives hugs with his front paws but then he tries to snuggle my neck and starts chewing on the ears!

It's extremely difficult not to start picking them up when we get them, especially looking down at those soft pleading eyes. I've never carried them around so to speak. I'm not too keen on having one scratching on my legs to be held or picked up. Don't get me wrong.....I LOVE holding them and I do. I just didn't make it a habit while they were growing up. Now I can hold them, carry them and all that and they don't demand it which is what I like.

I have always trained my babies to walk on the ground like other dogs. They love it, Roxi actually gets really frustrated with me if I pick her up if it's too busy in a certain area... I am glad they are independent...

But when we are home it's anoter story, they are ALL OVER me!!! And I LOVE it!!!

I love to carry Katy around but we are in the process of learning to walk on leash. So I have to restrain myself!!

Lily likes to be carried and just "babied" all together -- and when were out and about or at friends houses and im holding her she will wrap her paws around my fingers almost like shes trying to hold my hand and she does not let go!! lol its so sweet!

yep! mine sure does. He is so mommas boy, and will be carried any chance he can get and loves it.

It really depends on his mood and what we're doing. Buddy usally likes doing his own thing, running around jumping on me when I'm working on homework or work stuff. At times he'll get right up next to me and cuddle but as far as being carried, he's not in to that much.

Odie loves to be carried unless there is something else better he wants to do.

Mostly though he wants to tease and play that he wants to be picked up but lately he has learned that the pillow on the floor in front of the love seat works well as a spring board, so he is now jumping his way up to the sofa/loveseat it is really cute to watch him in action.

trixie likes to be carried so much, that she wont come when I call her, because she knows I will go and get her. She fits so perfectly on my shoulders, that I dont have to hold her with my hands, but I do any way.

Padre loves to be carried around...especially at night when he's really sleepy and just wants to be near us. We often go hiking out here and that is his absolute favorite thing to do because he gets to run, sniff, and explore and then he gets carried by his Mom or Dad when he's ready for a little rest. Too cute.
