But he enjoys being near me most of his waking hours, and likes being petted and loves head butting my hands. He also licks my hands and arms, and occasionally kisses my nose.

I tried the longest time to pick him up, but no go. It wasn't until I let him call the shots that he started to warm up to me, and now we are buddies.
