My Jewels will paw my leg untill i pick her up

George loves cuddles and asked to get picked up quite often and if there are a lot of people around there is no way he'll walk, we go to the car boot sale on Sundays and he is always in my arms until we get to the lady that sells home made dog treats, he really loves her he gets a free treat.

Penny asks to be held sometimes; she'll place both paws on my knees and stretch up while looking at me pitifully. She likes to be carried around with her forelegs around my neck in a "hug" and her head looking over my shoulder.

Zena loves to be picked up and held. She will sit in my lap for as long as I let her; truly a lap dog.

Marley likes to be held like a baby too, cradled head and everything. I rub her ears while I hold her and rub her tummy until she falls asleep. Just today I took her and my other pup out to potty outside and chit chat with a neighbor of mine and her pug. Colt and the pug played but she pawed at my leg after about 20 minutes and my neighbor asked why she did that. I said watch, and picked her up like a baby and she instantly shut her eyes and went limp lol I suppose my neighbor thinks I am nuts too!

Rockie wants to get picked up when he's afraid or wanting to get in my daughters or my bed. He likes to cuddle but on his terms, when he wants nothing to do with us he lets us know by wigglying in our arms.:D

I wish Ivy would like me to pick her up but no:( But she is never far away :D

Oh my goodness, I wish Taffy would be so polite as to "ask" to be picked up...LOL

If we're reading the mail or the paper and not paying her any attention, all of a sudden there is a thud on our lap and she's peering over or under whatever we're holding. We have never encouraged her to jump on or off things but she's like a cat. It is uncanny how high she can jump from a standing position.

The worrier in me gets concerned about all this jumping but it seems to be her instinct. I am more afraid that by trying to interfere we would put her off balance and cause her to sprain a leg or something.

She simply cannot stand not to be the center of attention although she does play by herself when she wants to. When she wants attention (generally if we're watching a movie) she'll jump up, lay down and take a nap.

I know about the dangers of the knees, etc. but she's is surer footed than we are. We do keep her blocked off from the bedrooms though because we don't want her jumping up that high. She only jumps into our laps or our recliners...never the other furniture so I think it's really because she can't handle not being the focus of our attention all the time. The funniest thing is that when one of us gets up, she takes that chair and has the smuggest look on her face for stealing it. She really thinks she's all that and more when she beats us to our chairs!

This is so funny! Capone does something similar. He follows you then runs and jumps in your spot right before you sit down.

My Pixie is VERY clingy sometimes..she's 2 now. She will climb up my legs and whine or yap to be picked up...and if i'm busy in the kitchen or something she will sit on my foot just to be close to me! she's so funny...when i do pick her up and carry her around, i gently kiss the side of her head and talk to her in a low voice and she almost falls asleep with her eyes rolling! she just LOVES to be nursed...and I love it too!:luvu:

That is too funny! Sounds like Zeus, he is fine as long as I am in sight.
