Sophie is 100% lap dog. She has to be with me wherever I am. Anytime I'm sitting, she is in my lap....couch, computer, etc. If I'm cooking or doing anything standing, she will stand up on my leg and scratch until I pick her up. Can you say spoiled? lol

Of the 3 I have now, my Willow which we adopted in November is such a lap dog. She is a very needy, needs to cling girl. I think it may have to do with her life before we adopted her.
Now Alexis(Alex) who we just adopted she is so busy always running around, the only time she wants to be next me is in the bed.
Lizzie is very much an independent one, she is always sleeping, but then she is 14.

Teddie isn't much of a cuddler, he's a rock and roller. He will let us know if he wants to be held by jumping up on our legs and whining when we are on the couch. He will let us know when he is done being cuddled too by emitting a small whine. He follows me around though, and when I am doing dishes he lays at my feet and puts his head on my left foot. It's kinda hard doing dishes that way without disturbing his royal cuteness. He's a busy boy though, but loves to get and give kisses.

She sounds exactly like my Abby...how old is she and what is her weight? Abby will be 3 on June 29th and she weighs somewhere between 3 and 4 lbs. She stayed at 3.4 lbs forever and then when we got her a baby sister earlier this year, she suddenly will eat soft dog food as well as her kibble and she has gained weight.

She is still tiny and her sister will be bigger than her.

Sounds like you've had Yorkies for quite a while! I'm envious!

Hahaha... I guess that means Harley is officially bang on, on ALL breed standards... lol!

He'll sit on my lap until either the toy in his mouth falls to the floor, or if anything moves anywhere.

Princess loves to cuddle & be lovey dovey, but she is an "independent sleeper", lol. she'll lay on the couch besides us but rarely sleeps on my lap. like others, if she's close enough to lay down she is close enough to play & this pup will play til she crashes...in her bed by the front door! no matter where's she's at i still love her the same!

In some dictionary somewhere next to the definition of a "lap dog" there is a picture of Elvis!

My 2 are lap dogs. My shih tzu even jumps onto the computor chair all the time because she knows that is where I sit .... It is funny because she leans forward , as if she is ready to type. At night both dogs are on the couch with me. Or in bed. They like to be as close to me as they can. I am usually home all the time , so they like that . If they are not plaing together, or chewing on bones , their never too far away.

Pretty much describes mine. If I want some "alone" time, I have to go out to our camper.

Wonderful picture!!!! Abilgail and Gidget are darlings.

Tibbe is a lap dog when he is not busy running the world. At night, he insists on sharing my actual pillow with me and gets his little 5 lb. body right up on my pillow right beside my head. Other times, when I am watching TV or reading lying down, he will bark at me until I tell him it okay to come share my pillow! He is the only dog I have had who will curl up with the side of his face against the side of my face - cheek-to-cheek, an action he always initiates when he is feeling especially cuddly. He will sleep like that until I need to move. When I do sit up, he does want to be in my lap most of the time he is not otherwise engaged. He only sleeps in his fuzzy bed when he is ignoring me for something I did he did not like - such as putting his toys away before he is ready or if he doesn't get something he really wants like a training session. Funny little guy.

ArmaniMan · 03-25-2011, 04:04 PM

Nope- mine aren't really lap dogs- they like to be close by, but not right on me- I have their fufu kuddler at one end of the couch and they like to go lay on that, or sometimes on one of the many beds on the floor. At night in bed, they do cuddle a lot but that is it really.

Thanks! Tibbe is a doll as well! Cheek to cheek...how cute!

First of all, your babies are adorable. Secondly, Kelsey will not come to me and sit in my lap, but once I go and pick her up and put her in my lap she will stay there for a long time being petted and loved. As for when I have to get up I just pick her up and place her on the floor or in her bed. Neither of us has a problem with it. We enjoy the time we spend together!
