Nathan has his days!!!!:D at 8 1/2 months there are days when he will want to lay on my lap ..there is a catch though!!! Its usually to chew on my tee shirt or night gown!!! :) he does like to stay close and will lay on the couch next to me or on me!! :) Other days he wants no part of my lap,,he likes to be mr independent!!!:D |
Some are lap dogs, some are not My Bengi is not a lap dog. When he was a puppy he would never sit on my lap. Now at a year old he sits on my lap or by my side only after playing playing and playing. He did got less hyper, but still he's not a "lap dog". Truly "lap dogs" are usually like that since they are pups. a hyper dog might get a little less active but not that much. My mom has a mini pin and he's active with my yorkie, but doesn't like to play with people like Bengi does. He doesn't play fetch and he's not as smart as Bengi is. Also, yorkies are much more gentle. |
Jake loves to sit on my lap and loves cuddling most of the time, but there are other times when he wants to just run and play. It all depends on the personality of the dog. |
Mine was not a lap dog till after he turned a year old, then it was like someone flipped a switch and he can't get enough of lap sitting, so maybe your little one will change, I hope so. |
As most people are saying, it just depends on the nature of your dog. Some Yorkies love being in your lap and held, while some are more independent. Our Yorkie, Munchkin, couldn't sit still when we first got her. Now, she can fall asleep in our lap anytime. But she's also zippy and hyper at times. |
roman doesnt usually sleep im my lap....its kinda ironic i found this post right now because now is one of the few times he been on my lap. hes asleep though...he would never sit anywhere let alone on my lap for that long when he was awake lol |
I have 5 yorkies, 2 girls and 3 boys, and only one is a true lap dog...my Prissie, I believe she is a lap dog because she is my only momma dog, so she is very calm...all others will sit next to me when I sit down but they are usually chewing on something or playing with a toy, they don't necessarily want to be on my lap unless they want to take a nap, then they all fight for my lap. I always tell people if you want a lap dog, don't buy a yorkie. |
I thought they were lap dogs too, but mine really is not. She is not real hyper anymore at age 6, but she will sit with us for a short time but prefers to sleep on the pillows somewhere or near us. She loves to give kisses, but she is more like a cat, on her own terms. She always wants to know what is in it for her. I love cats, so it really isn't an issue, but where is my "lap dog"?;) (I do love my Yorkie!!!:aimeeyork) |
Hoping For More Lap Time Too! Zachary will be 15 weeks tomorrow and I wish he would like sitting on my lap more too. He has to be where he can see me all the time and lay at my feet but doesn't like to be held that much. He does lay by me on the sofa once and a while. He is better though than he was a couple of weeks ago. So, maybe in time, he will be less hyper. He is going to get neutered at six months so maybe that will help. Wishing you luck with your's. |
Otis went through a phase where he layed by himself most of the time, but now he's 3, and he's much more lovey. I sit in my chair when I'm on yorkie talk with a blankie beside me. It fills the hole between my leg and the arm of the chair and he snoozes. |
buahahahahaha:lol tears :lol tears :lol tears the title just made me laugh sooo much !!! my yorkie is like a energizer bunny that never runs low on power !!! If I got a 1$ bill for every time she jumps, I would become milionare in about a month LOL |
I have enough "lapdog" to share... Hope doesnt think she should have to walk, much less sit by herself.. LOL... she follows me like a lost soul if I get up and is ALWAYS BY me, she doesnt like to actually be IN my lap, just next to me, touching bootie I call it... she is sooo spoiled, my daughter fusses about how bad it is but I love every second! Now Tootie.. welllll, yea, no way! at night he wont sleep unless he is touching but all other times he is everywhere!!! love my babies! d |
I know what you are going through. My Yorkie is a 1 year and 3 months old and he is still not a lap dog. I think he hates for me to hold him. He likes for me to play with him, but that's it. He likes my husband better and will sit next to him and nap. Your baby is still young so he still may become that lap dog, you would like. |
