Lap Dogs 1 Attachment(s) I love, love, love having little lap dogs which my two are. Are all Yorkies lap dogs? And if yours are, how do you displace them when you have to get up to do something? I always feel so mean when I have to remove them when I get up. They are just what I wanted in furry babies and they are so sweet but I do have obligations and tasks that require me to scoot them away. I'd like to hear how you deal with this situation and how do your furbabies react? Attachment 341053 Mommy to Abigail and Gidget:aimeeyork:aimeeyork |
Lol, nope, I would not call Jackson a lap dog. He is entirely too busy to be sitting on someones lap. However, he's a big cuddler at night and in the mornings and he usually sleeps right in between legs at the bottom of them, with his head resting on my leg. I always feel too bad to move so I wake up with a stiff back from not moving all night and he wakes up like a perfect little angel... hahaha! Well, and he follows me everywhere... during the day he prefers to lay in his dog bed next to my feet or on my bed, but if I leave the room, he follows me. So sometimes I won't get up right away if I want him to keep sleeping, LoL |

Roxy and I have this routine too. I work from home at a desk and move around way too much for her to be in my lap so she prefers to be by my feet in her little bed. She won't even get on my bed which is just right behind us. Rox follows me everywhere too but has learned when I am just going to the bathroom and doesn't always follow (If I don't look at her, she is less likely to follow) unless I get out of her line of sight, then she is compelled to come find me. The only time she ever sits in my lap is when we're on the couch watching TV, she loves to watch TV! I do feel bad when I have to get up to get something but I'll usually just carry her with me to where ever I'm going and set her right back down on my lap when we get back to the couch, she will adjust herself to the comfy spot and it's like I never even got up. :) |
Callie loves to be held and in peoples laps and cuddled. My moms Sammy will let you hold him for like a minute or two then he wants down but he will sit next to you curled up by your side. |
Bevo is very much a lap dog!! Even if im at the computer he whimpers to be picked up and sits in between me and the back of the chair! I love my little cuddler!! Usually, If I get up, I just scoop him up with me. Of course, I work 8-5, so when I get home he is ready to see me!! (I do visit him everyday at lunch though!):) |
Teddy likes to be held for a minute or two throughout the day, but he doesn't lap sit. Max has to be in his doggy donut bed and then he will let me hold him on my lap at night. They both prefer to rest at my feet or run around. :p |
In the book "The Complete Yorkshire Terrier," a longtime breeder/exhibitor describes Yorkies as willing to sit on your lap....until they see something interesting and then they are off like a shot. :D |
Cute stories! I guess because I have two in my lap many times at the same time, it really gets crowded. I, too, work from home on the computer. I'm a Realtor so I do spend a lot of time on the computer. If they are not in my lap or sitting beside me, Abby is bringing a toy for me to throw for her. Sometimes it gets difficult to do my work. :) |
Calvin is definitely more my "lap dog". He loves to be in my lap all snuggled up. Now the only time Bella wants to be in my lap is when Calvin is in my lap and then she does everything she can to be top dog :D...lol...when they sleep in our bed...Bella is on top of the covers curled up next to me and Calvin is under the covers curled between my legs...Oh and when I bring them to work with me, Bella lets me know when she wants to take her nap so I have to pick her up and put her on my desk so that she can nap on my desk while I work. Thank goodness my boss loves them just as much as I do! |
Chloe hasn't been a "lap" girl since she was about 4 mos but she wants to be close and follows me around and of course she sleeps pushing up against me, she does come to me a few times during the day for "loving" but Willow thinks I am part of her body. She is always in my lap and even when I am standing, if I stop she cries for me to pick her up. Of all the dogs I have had, and that's been quite a few, she is by far the clingiest but I love it. I too, find myself staying in one place in bed (oh my aching back) so as not to disturb them. It's like when my boys were babies, I hate to disturb them. I lay them in their beds hoping they can go right back to sleep but mostly they just get up and follow me. They are devoted. |
Well, all this just proves...Yorkies are THE best! Love 'em! I just wish I had discovered them earlier in life. I am in my sixties and got our first Yorkie, Abigail, in 2008 and our 2nd one this year! ;) |
Darwin, Mabel and Sidney, our Bengal cat are my main excuse for not doing housework!!! As soon as I sit down, it's like I have a fur coat - I always feel so mean when I have to get up so I sit there longer then I intended to. It's such a great excuse!:D |
Neither of my two are lap puppies. They will lay very very close beside you but not on you. They don't like cuddles much either. Bijou has become a little more huggable this week as she's stayed by my side while I've been sick. Hopefully she'll get more cuddley as she gets older or maybe when my next girl get here they will both be more cuddley. |
