| He Doesn't Even Want to Sleep in My Bed!! I always thought that it was a treat for dogs to get to sleep in their owner's bed, but Linus doesn't even want to sleep with me! Now that he is big enough to jump off the bed, I've realized that he actually prefers to sleep by himself on the sofa!! Is anyone else's yorkie a loner? I'm trying not to be offended . . . |

| When I first got Alphy he would snuggle with me all night. Now he's up and down throughout the night. I think he gets hot. I always feel bad because it seems like he's not be able to get comfortable.

| My monkey has slept with me from the first night I brought her home. That wasnt really my intention but that first night there was a thunderstorm and she was freaking out so I held her all night. I think that just like every person has their own sleping habits (cuddling/sleeping on the other side of the bed) so do dogs. Maybe he wakes up easily when you move or he gets hot at night. I think he may come around when he gets older or maybe by the winter.... Have you ever napped together during the day? |

I heart Sugar Donating Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Florida

| My Sugar is normally a snuggle bug but when he wants to sleep, he wants to be left alone. He sleeps in his own bed on the floor next to my bed. I used to have his bed on the bench at the foot of my bed so he could sleep in my bed if he wanted to but he never did. In fact he likes sleeping so much that if I wake up too early for him, he will run under my bed so I can't disturb him. Spike and Gracie sleep in my daughter's bed. If she is spending the night out, they sleep in bed with me and my husband- even then Sugar wants nothing to do with it. The funny thing is that during waking hours, Sugar is stuck to me like glue. He follows me everywhere and would prefer if I just held him all day.

| We recently babysat 2 other dogs. Since then, Otis has started to sleep on top of some blankies on the floor beside the bed. I think the bed got a little too crowded for him. So now he starts up with me, but usually at some point through the nite he gets down there by himself.

| My Schnauzer is the same way in the summer. She wants to be on the bed in the winter, but once it gets hot, she prefers the floor. Maybe your baby is just hot.

| how long have you had linus? MAybe he does not know it is ok to sleep on the bed? Or it is too hot for him. When I first got Suzi she was too little to jump on my bed, so I did not want her to go on my bed, then hurt herself trying to get down. She slept right next to me on the floor with a pillow for a couple of weeks. THEN she could just up on my bed. And now she sleeps there with me .She gets up with me and not before I do. Sometimes I'll sleep in but she is always right there with me. I think it is a matter of preference. If Linus is very comfortable sleeping on the couch it seems like he feels like that is his bed. He will change though, give him time and make sure is knows he can sleep on your bed too

| Thanks for all of the thoughts! Linus is about a year, and he defininitely knows he can sleep on my bed if he wants to. I'm not really offended though because I know he loves me We take naps together, and he can be a little snuggler. He does get hot under the blankets on my bed, so I am thinking maybe he is just hot. |

| Sleeping on the bed My poodle, Elivira, won't sleep on the bed with me anymore since she's gotten older. She wants to sleep under the bed. My yorkie, Rocky, sleeps on the bed with me but he won't cuddle. I think they used to fight once in awhile so I think they are happier sleeping this way. Makes me sort of sad, though. Erika |

| He's probably just too hot in the bed. I know that Jamie used to sleep under the covers but since it has gotten hot he sleeps on top of the covers. Then when the first alarm goes off in the morning he crawls under the covers because he's cold and cuddly.

| Ranger won't sleep with me in the bed unless he's REALLY cold. Unlike you, it really does offend me!! It hurts my feelings, I know it shouldn't but I just want to cuddle with my baby. My poor hubby can't understand why I would rather cuddle Ranger than him!!

| I know this thread is old but my feelings are beginning to be hurt by my Bella! She refuses to cuddle with me! She'd rather sleep on the edge of the bed or the foot! |
