| Sleeping issues! I have a queen size bed.... Im not a large person, neither is my boyfriend.. yet lately with us 2 and the 2 pups, i cannot sleep! It seems like my bed is WAY too small... even when its just me and the 2 pups, my bed is too small. Im considering putting my boys in a crate again at night I don't want to, but I can't sleep at all. Amazingly my 5lb boy seems to weigh 40lbs at night! They both sleep pressed up against me usually either between my legs UNDER the covers or one on one side of me and the other on the other side. I get hot, I get claustrophic, I can't move and I wake up almost in a panic, until I realize its just them and im ok.

| Betty is like a 100 lb person with restless leg syndrome. She flops around and then plops right down next to me. If I get up to go to the bathroom, when I get back, she is sleeping with her head on my pillow! Juju is like a feather, I have to make sure she is still in the bed and not flipped out by mistake!

| HAHAHA Betty sounds like my 2... Dex is soo small and light yet at night hes like 100lb person also! He sleeps like a log too.. once hes out, hes OUT! But its always on top of me in some way. Fletcher he is about 8.5lbs and hes restless as anything. He up by my head, down by my feet, under the covers, on top of the covers, by my side, then my other side. He wakes me up so much! And hes like a space heater! I get so hot when I sleep Ive had the window open in the middle of winter to cool down.

| I kept Mika up at night with my hot flashing and thrashing in and out of the cover. For her sake, I returned her to her own bed.

| I got a chuckle out of your post. I can just picture having to fight for a space on the bed with 6. LOL I won't complain about my 2 Yorkies and 1 Lhasa-Poo anymore. What a hoot!

| I can understand how you feel completely. I am a sleeper and when I don't get 8hrs I'm just an unhappy camper. I have a queen size bed and Buddy is embedded into me when we sleep and grunts at me when I have to move, he acutally get's annoyed. I can't imagine sleeping with two everynight. I hope you can figure something out. If they sleep together in their create what's the big deal as long as they sleep and don't cry your ahead of the game. Good luck. |

| I know this is kind of offtopic-ish... but imagine this...my bf and I, Charlie (a 30 lbs dog), Izzy (4lbs yorkie), and Toby (8lb cat) all in a full size bed..... We've actually contemplated moving my bf's bed in next mine to make more room for our zoo we'll have in august. Right now I'm lucky since it's just me a Toby. It's gunna be crowded!

| My Tucker is usually in a crate at night. But when hubby is out of town, he sleeps with me because I get lonely and need that extra warm body in bed with me. However, he will not cuddle with me and no matter how many times I pull him close to me, he wants to be at the foot of my bed like a proper "submissive" dog. I really wish he would snuggle with me |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | Girl I can TOTALLY RELATE!!!! lol I have a full size bed and the dogs always seem to sleep on me or right right next to me, i feel like a magnet! Everytime i move, the move right back, i feel like i cant move at night. Usually i like to spread out on my bed, one leg here, one arm there lol but i cant do that with them and when my bf sleeps over its worse! He has a Queen size bed and even tho if feels a little bigger and slightly better its still uncomfortable cause i cant move as much, as to not 'disturb' the babies lol

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have a queen size bed and 4 dogs. They all have their place. Pixie always lays on her snugglesack at the end of the bed on the other side, Roxie sleeps in the cubby hole in the built in headboard, Maya sleeps on the pillow on the other side and Cali likes to sleep right where I put my feet. I have started to move her because I was waking up with cramps in my legs from not moving them. I usually have to do it several times a night. Maybe you can get them a bed and place it where you want them to sleep either onthe bed or off and it may help.
