When I am relaxing in the kitchen (sitting on my stool) Amber loves holding my hand while looking at the garden... (if I let go she gives it back to me).
She also does it automatically when we come near her to cuddle her.

Yes, yes he does... when I'm on the couch he jumps up with me and paws at my hand until I move it towards him, then he puts his paw in my hand and rubs his head up against me...

He's a really strange dog... lol

Maizee loves to hold paws. Actually when we are outside and playing fetch, I will have her sit by me and hold my hand while I throw Winston his Kong.

My MIL says it looks like I am holding hands with a kid - yep, that is my furkid!!

Winston will hold paws, but he doesn't prefer it. Maizee wants to do it ALL THE TIME!!

Yes, Ozzy learned to do it at 6-1/2 weeks & whenever he wants to be especially manipulative, he'll still offer it up for grabs.

All of mine love to hold hands. Wally likes to hold Eric's foot. very weird but that is what he likes. When Eric is on the couch Wally will walk over to the leg rest hand plop his big old paw right on his foot and sit there for hours.

You know, it's interesting...Shamus never used to. Only in the last few months or so has he started doing this, it's quite sweet actually. Even though my boy can be very stubborn, he has so many endearing qualities, some of which are gradually emerging the older he gets.

Oddly enough, Brinkley's favorite time to decide she wants to do that is when I am driving and she is riding shotgun. That is when she decides she wants to give me her paw and if I ignore her, she just puts her paw on my shoulder. LOL!!! She is just too funny.

Yes I agree they do it because they know we are relaxed and they want to be part of the ritual. It is not because they lack attention or are bored (well not my one anyway!!) :).
