Aaaahhh---just found this thread--I dunno how I missed it either.
I love love love the wet photo--that's just good stuff. He's such a muppet.
Tessa has gotten more cuddly as she ages, she's a year now.
I really didn't understand the 'un-cuddly-ness', I really felt like I was doing something wrong, she didn't seem 'attached' or bonded to me or something.
I stressed about it a LOT--because I never knew a pup that wasn't all about cuddling. Now she crawls into bed, and sometimes puts her head right on my pillow.
I think this was part of her 'Master Plan'--she played hard to get, & I 'broke'.
And she still doesn't get excited no matter how much I frolick & jump around. I try to incite a reaction every so often--just to see...nope.
But, XBF comes over & her butt wiggles like crazy & she gets all ga-ga. I've asked him if he's feeding her bacon behind my back, & I try not to appear too jealous LOL
