My 8 year old Dachschaund mix named Veda has never liked to be held.
She'll gladly sit in your lap and she loves to be petted. But as soon
as you pick her up she starts breathing hard like she wants me to put
her down. When I do, she walks off to do what she was doing before I picked
her up. I thought maybe it was because she is overweight, and when I pick
her up it is uncomfortable because her stomach is hanging down. What do
you think? How can I help her to be more comfy? Is it because I'm not
holding her correctly?
