Is your yorkie affectionate? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I think it may be a combination of puppy and their personality. Bitsy is 5 months old, sometimes she'll jump up in my lap and go to sleep, other times she is just as happy laying in her bed alone. She also likes to sleep in the dirty clothes on my back porch

Now when we go to bed she likes to sleep by my knees when we first lay down, then she'll move to laying on top of my head, lol. What is odd though, if she does cuddle up and lay down next to me, as long as I don't touch her she'll stay there. As soon as I pet her or even just barely touch her she'll move away.

Has anyone else had this happen?

I can only think some dogs just like to be in control of who initiates cuddling. You can play and rough-house with them and grab them, etc., but closer contact is something some dogs seem to like to control themselves. Go figure. That is one of the things that make them so fascinating to have around. Never get tired of observing their ways!
