I carry around Peanut on my hip ;-) He is a 5 lb Yorkie. I will carry him around the house when I am cleaning and stuff but not for long, although he would let me carry him all day. He is very spoiled. When I put him down, he literally jumps all the way up to my chin begging me to pick him up again!
I pick up Prissy sometimes but she is a little more difficult to handle. She is 10lbs and very squirmy! She begs to be picked up but then when I do, she is ready to get right back down. She is rotten too! Her thing is wanting to be rubbed and petted all the time.
When she feels like she is not getting attention she will hold up her paw and gently paw me in the face...like if I am watching TV or something.
