| random question Ok, Luna is now almost 6 months old. She is my baby! Typical yorkie, on my lap or by my side every second of every day. But....she HATES to be pet!?! She cuddles, and will let you rub her head but to just be pet like a normal dog....she wants no part of it! It's like she is has this look in her eye of.....Don't pet me, I'm not a dog!! Is this weird?? She is healthy and does not hurt anywhere. She just does not like to be pet. Anyone else's yorkie like this?? |

| Not weird at all. Max and Teddy do not like traditional petting. They prefer massage and gentle 'scratching.'

| Neither of our Yorkies really like to be petted! I always wondered if it was just them. But they do like to snuggle and be on our laps all the time.

| So good to know it's not just mine!! Like I said, she loves to snuggle and be on my lap but petting is a deal breaker! She too will get up and move if I pet to much. But she will deal with the massaging and ear scratches ..... But just when she feels like it. |

| Teddy is that way when he is snuggling/sleeping next to me on the couch. If I start touching him, he moves away. Max doesn't mind. He instantly rolls over for belly rubs.

| Lola's like that too, she likes laying by me but will get up if I touch her too much. It's a big change from my poodles, they wanted 24/7 rubs and would force their nose under your hand trying to get them. |

He's not a cuddler in general, he does like to curl up by my legs at night time but overall, not a cuddly dog, but he doesn't really like to be pet either. He actively avoids it most of the time.
