Is Your Yorkie a Lap Baby? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

rachelsyorkie · 02-16-2007, 02:59 PM

Mine likes to be near guarding me lol. But really doesnt lay on me that much. She comes gets some luvin then she's off again.

Bama Yorkie Mom · 02-16-2007, 06:35 PM

maggie always lays around almost. now that she can jump on my chairs she will run from one to another and jump in one then off and run to another then jump beside me where ever i'm sitting and lay down. She acts like shes too pretty to play actually. She wont play with her toys hardly ever. she loves to be petted. she wont go get anything and bring it to me at all. then sometimes she will take a quick fast run thru the house and back. jump right up on the couch or chair and sit there. so she is one of the most lap dogs ive ever seen.

Bella will come and sit on my lap but she is much happier running around playing or sleeping on her own in her bed or on the couch alone.

hmm....Bear is slowly turning into a lap dog, mainly due to Tigger being a total cuddle bug and He can't stand to watch Tigger get cuddled if he's not. LOL Tigger's been a cuddle bug ever since the first day we brought him home. actually we always held him when he was a pup. Maybe that had something to do with it? I don't know. But now My bf and I can't even cuddle without him getting jealous and pushing his way in. Bear will sit there and look at him like he's nuts and then gives in and does the same. It's quite funny.

Simon loves to be in my lap, but when I am on my laptop, as I am right now, then we have a little jealousy issue.

Dina_Nichole · 02-17-2007, 01:18 AM

All three of my furbabies are "lap babies" They are constantly pushing each other in order to be the only one on my lap. I can't sit anywhere without one of them on me but I love it......

pepe mint · 02-17-2007, 06:39 AM

oh, maggie is definitely a lap baby. when i am using my laptop on the couch, it is so hard cuz she is usually right on top of it. at the office, she is constantly wanting me to pick her up and put her in my lap. she will just sleep there in my lapt for as long as i can sit there

i wouldn't have it any other way. i was very afraid that she would not be a lap dog. i wanted a cuddler so badly!

mizzwanned · 02-18-2007, 06:02 PM

Teddy is def. NOT a lap baby. He loves to be on his feet, running, gettting himself into trouble. London on the other hand is always standing up on her 2 feet and leaning on me so I can pick her up and put her in my lap. She's a total lap baby. So I have 2 very diff. ones.

Tetley is a total snugglebug. If there's a lap in sight, he's in it. If you're napping, he's right there napping with you. When I'm watching TV he likes to snuggle up into my neck. I love his affectionate nature!

suzysmitt · 02-19-2007, 11:19 AM

Skippy is definitely a lap dog, and I can' go anywhere without him.

periwinkle · 02-19-2007, 05:57 PM

My male is definately a lap dog. If I am on the couch or chair with my legs up he is laying on my legs guarding me. He always faces away from me. I have developed strong thigh muscles from supporting him! Does the same thing to my husband. My female only sits on my lap in the morning when I am drinking coffee and trying to read the newspaper. Then she wants my full attention and a 30 minute massage! They are so funny.

Doggy Bear · 02-20-2007, 04:49 AM

The moment I sit down N'Stein made his way to get on my lap.

carlar9 · 02-20-2007, 07:23 AM

If I sit they have to sit on me. Since I have 5 of them they can't all sit in my lap. One has her spot on my arm, one gets my lap, one is snuggled close to my side, one has her pillow right next to me so she can be on her pillow and still cuddled up to my arm. The other one came last so he has to take whatever position the girls leave him. It is usually on my chest. It is a real chore when I have to get up...

ellie81 · 02-20-2007, 09:56 AM

Bengi likes to play more than anything. He love to play fetch, hide & seek, and loves to run and explore. But when he gets tired, he loves to cuddle in my lap or by my side.

bornnygurl · 02-20-2007, 01:53 PM

Thanks everyone for your responses. This has been very interesting. I've done a general tally and seems like the general consensus is that they are in fact lap dogs if allowed to be.
