YT 1000 Club Member | How does your Yorkie sit on/with you? Every since I got Teek in January he loves to sit with me on the couch. He does not like to sit on my lap though, much to my disappointment, but I don't push as if I pull him onto my lap he gives me that look. Then he plants himself next to me again and settles in. However, he will come up on the couch and I leave him room between me and the back of the couch and he will walk up there and then he will turn around and back into the spot as far as he can go and then lay down. He likes his butt to me. I thought maybe that was because he was new here, but he still does it to me all the time. He is honestly better at parallel parking than I am for sure! Every once in a while he gives me a rare treat of actually sitting on my lap but usually as soon as he is tired of being petted he is next to me again. I love him touching me in any way, so I settle for this, but I would love for him to just curl up on my lap. Do your Yorkies curl up on your lap? Do they prefer to sit with their butt or head towards you?

| Oh I love this thread concept! Lilah is a hilarious snuggler, if I lay on my stomach the small of my back is her snuggle cove for sure- she will curl up and call it a night and it is like she fits and belongs there, it is super comfortable for both of us often she will climb up into the space above my chest between my neck and shoulder when j am laying on my back and curl up there- some days that is sweet as pie and other days it is itchy and obtrusive, lol. It's a good thing I keep her smelling nice that's for sure! She is a lap hound but I do not sit much (it hurts my back) and when I do it's in a chair and I move around a lot so she always prefers while sitting to curl up in my beloveds lap she will use me as a stepping stone to get into his lap. I think it's cute. She will lay on my lap while we are laying down though (I am a lounger not a sitter) often under blankets or on my tummy. I love hearing my darling laugh and say he can't get up because a four pound yorkie just curled up on him

| Neither Lacey nor Pepper will sit on my lap. Both of them probably think there's not enough room and they are right. Lacey will lay beside me but not touching. If I hold her for more than a minute or after she's through cleaning my face, she starts wiggling and wants down. If I have my arms crossed, Pepper will jump up and lay down and take a nap. He will lay on my back if I'm sleeping. If I'm watching TV, he will sit right up against me and sleep. He does not like to be held for long either. I have two dogs and two cats and none of them want me to hold them for more than a minute or two. I'm left with hugging my pillow.

| I sit indian style on the couch and Lola lays infront of my legs. If I have my feet on the couch with my knees bent she'll bulldoze my knee with her nose until I sit the way she wants. My couch has recliners and she enjoys laying on the foot part too, it's funny when she lays on her back in the "hammock" between the hard bits. She used to like to lay on my legs in bed, but I had to train her not to because it hurts a lot. Now she lays next to me, she stole the outer edge from me, or on her balled up blanket. |

| Max and Sasha both are all over me when I sit in the recliner. As soon as I lean back whichever one gets there 1st crawls right up to my chest and usually starts licking me. If Max is there 1st Sasha will come and get right between him and my face. What a bully! (even though she is only 3 pounds!). After a couple minutes of kissing my face (which I have to stop them or they would never stop) they will settle down with one on my chest and one on my lap for a nap. If I lay on the couch for a nap, I always lay on my side and Sasha come right up and snuggles under my chin while Max climbs onto my hip and perches there. These 2 absolutely CRAVE touch and I am more than willing to oblige them !

YT 1000 Club Member | Teek loves to be touching me. He will move and push himself right against my leg. At night he will curl up right behind my knee and be up against me. I know he loves me. He is always wanting to be touching me, but I was hoping he would sit on my lap more. If I put him on my lap he will stand on me and not lay down and let me pet him for a few minutes and then he gets off me. One night I was very sick and so my teenage daughter kept him in her room for the night. When she got up in the morning she brought him into my room and told me that his tail nub started wagging like crazy and he ran across the bed and laid right on my legs and went to sleep. LOL Once in a while he will lay on my leg at night if I have one bent and it makes a triangle for him to snuggle into, but that has only happened a couple times. I love this dog and am happy he accepts me, I just wish he would sit on my lap is all. But, I will take what I can get!

| It all depends are where we are in the house. In the bed, she has her pillow that she sleeps on. She'll licks me on the eyelids every morning to wake me up at which point we do our little morning cuddle routine. In the family room, she has her foam doggy house that she likes to sleep in. I have to get pics because she sleeps in it backwards. She sleeps on her back with her hind paws sticking out of the opening....so adorable. Downstairs in the finished basement she sleeps on the couch with me. She will let me cuddle her but for the most part she likes to sleep or sit where she wants to. I think it is because I move around so much. Just as she is getting comfortable, I suddenly have to get up for some stupid reason. She does have to be in the same room as me and her royal highness will let me cuddle her for as long as I need to as long as it only last for 10 minutes or less My last yorkie sleep on my chest and would stay there until you move. She also liked to sleep under the covers right next to me. Last edited by yavenay; 04-14-2015 at 09:53 AM. |

| Jade D, my Lexie sounds exactly like your baby. She wants next to me, not ON me. When she sits on her pillow on the sofa next to me, her butt is always facing me . Only time she will be on my lap is away from home, or in the car. Like you, I take what I can get. She's not a kisser either, but I adore her little weird self to death!

| All three of my dogs like to lie in my lap but my dachshund has realized since I got the puppies that there isn't room for her too. I am barely sitting down on the couch and the puppies are on top of me; one lays on one side of my lap, the other lays on the other side of my lap and my dachshund lays next to me with her head on my lap under the puppy. It is hard to move. They will lay like that until I get up or something else catches their attention. When we lie down on the couch, Elliot lays on my chest, Duncan lays on the top of my legs and Anya (my dachshund) lays on the bottom of my legs and feet. They all love to cuddle and I love cuddling them. Jade, I hope Teek decides he wants to cuddle with you soon.

| Dinky very rarely will sit on our laps. When he really wants to sleep, he jumps off his bed on the sofa then backs his rear end next to my thigh. Then he puts his head under his blanket and/or bed. |
