For those of you who let your yorkie sleep with you... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Or maybe I should say, those of us whose Yorkies allow us to sleep with them

Where do your yorkies sleep in your bed? Do they have a routine?

Wrigley sleeps with us in bed, (Rainer does not because she's too small)and this is our routine:
Hubby and I climb into bed with Wrigley still on the ground because he isn't always ready for bed when we are. He eventually wants to go to sleep and when he realizes we are in bed he freaks out thinking we are forgetting about him and he comes to my side of the bed whining and trying to jump on the bed (we have a really high bed too high for him to be able to jump on) so then I lift him up into bed.
Then he lays down in between my legs down towards my feet. (I lay on my stomach) Then he will eventually go over to my husbands legs then back to mine. This all happens within a few mins. Then he eventually walked up me, starting on one of my legs all of the way up my back then across the back of my head and he finally lays down at the top of my head on my pillow.

There are several times I have woken up in the middle of the night where he was laying on half of my head. And actually a few weeks ago we were at a hotel and my husband and I were talking but it was dark in the room and all of the sudden Wrigley is walking up me to lay on the pillow but he instead stopped right at my head and he laid down right on top of my head! I was just like uhhh excuse me Wrigley, I'm kinda talking here.

Sometimes in the middle of the night he will repeat the routine and I will feel him walking up my back haha

What do your yorkies do when going to bed?

wemple2 · 01-22-2009, 07:00 PM

Winston likes to snuggle with me at first, right up close to my chest. But I'm a chronic insomniac so I toss and turn quite a bit...he eventually settles in between hubby and I. For such a little guy he sure does take up a whole lot of space...I swear he has half the bed and hubby and I are barely hanging on.

No matter what we do Juicy always ends up between my boyfriend and I. She will start off on either side of us, because we put her there. But by morning she is squished in between us and loves it there.

Ashley V · 01-22-2009, 07:05 PM

As soon as I (only me) pull out a blanket, whether I'm laying on the floor, the bed, the couch, wherever, he IMMEDIATELY goes under the blanket and licks my feet until he goes to sleep. It's something I've gotten used to and now I can't go to sleep without it. Smokey curls up either across my chest or beside my chest. By morning he's usually on the floor.

Nolee starts in between my DH & I under the covers. He will then move to lay in my back or belly. Later he will go to the end of the bed. He really moves all nite. I guess that's bc I move alot too. We also have a high bed, and he will jump and hit the side until I pick him up. Funny thing is, If I am not in the bed he will jump right up. Go figure! Got to love them!

Koran · 01-22-2009, 07:08 PM

Both sleep with us. Roscoe cant jump on the bed but Sparkle could because I swear she is part cat! ANYWAY after weeks of whining I bought steps. SO when we go to bed hubby lays down and he always lays on his right side facing away from me. Before he is settled in and has the covers on Roscoe is planted right at his back just past his pillow. During the night he mostly makes his way under the covers close to hubbys lower back. Sparkle gets in the crook of his knee unless I lay on my back and then she is planted in my crotch as fast as your head can spin.

She too will eventually get under the covers and usually they both end up with hubby. If we are just laying in bed watching tv or reading the paper Roscoe will go right for hubbys crotch and if its not open he will paw at my husbands legs until he forms the necessary triangle to accommodate him!

jeffandkim · 01-22-2009, 07:10 PM

When we put Ella in bed, she does her "Ella-dozer" routine, where she runs headfirst into all the covers. Once we're in bed, she usually curls up in between us, just below our pillows. She also likes sleeping on my shoulder

She almost always sleeps right up against one of us, and she'll follow us if we move--so by the morning, I'm usually about to fall off the bed!

ashandmollydog · 01-22-2009, 07:10 PM

Hello! Yes my yorkie lets me snuggle with her, in her queen size bed..

We definately have a routine, she wants to go to bed about 9 every night so she will find something to lay on in our bedroom (usually my husbands dirty laundry from that day

) and waits for us, so i pick her up and snuggle in with my hubby (only because if i leave her down there she will bounce off the side of the bed until she makes up ususally 1 out of 35 times lol but she wont give up ever), we spoon

lol so she always gets to cuddle up in the curl of my neck and i will usually hold her but that is definately her spot and she's not afraid to take it! lol

cute story Jacklynn!

Gracie2006 · 01-22-2009, 07:11 PM

When I first get into bed, we have to exchange nite nite kisses. In the winter when it is cold, Gracie crawls under the covers as soon as I get into bed. She usually curls up at my left side with my arm wrapped around her. Holly starts out kind of to the side of my shoulder, with her head on my shoulder and the rest of her under the covers. Within an hour or so, Gracie gets hot and comes out of the covers and lays in pretty much the same spot, only at the time she comes out Holly goes under the covers so I end up with both at my left side with my arm around both, one on top of the covers and one underneath. Holly then gets hot and gets out of the covers and goes back to her head on my shoulder thing. If I happen to wake during the night and get up to the bathroom or something, when I get back in bed we go through this same routine all over again. In the morning, I usually have to wake them both up, they are really sound sleepers. Then I get kisses again. I have a tall bed with doggie steps so the girls can go use their pee pad during the night if they need to. Holly generally won't get up until I do, but Gracie will take herself potty and then come back to bed until I wake up.

bailee stretches out right in between my boyfriend and I...i usually move her to my side though because im cold natured and like to snuggle up the boyfriend...iBUT if she decides she wants to be in between she will walk under the covers,around our feet and squirm her way in between...spoiled rotten thing

Bentleys Momma · 01-22-2009, 07:24 PM

Too cute!

I always put Bentley on my bed while I start getting ready and he runs from one side to the other as I walk around the room (yes, perhaps I am teasing him a bit

). Then I pick him up and we go into the bathroom together. While I am going to the bathroom this is the time of the day when my "big fat scaredy cat"

comes out to get attention. So while I am going to the bathroom, Bentley is trying to jump on my lap and my cat, Neo, is walking in rubbing my feet to get attention. Bentley ends up hiding behind between my leg and the wall because... well, let's face it my tough boy is a nothing but a

Anyway, I have to pick Bentley up from behind the potty and carry him back to bed. The cat has now decided it is his turn for attention and comes over and rubs all over my hand (no matter how much I try to ignore him) and Bentley sits on my pillow at my right shoulder watching me pet the cat. When Neo decides he now has had enough scratches, he jumps down and goes about his business of eating his dinner, etc. Bentley gives him a few growls to make sure we all still know who the real boss is

and then moves from my right shoulder to my left armpit and snuggles into a ball for bed.

LilMissy · 01-22-2009, 07:37 PM

Missy is so small she really shouldn't be sleeping with me, BUT she insists! So...I had hubby push the bed up against the wall, and I've shoved rolled up blankets in the cracks above and beside her so that she can't fall down. Then I have a pillow below her, and I lay along side her. I kinda prop my leg up on the pillow that's below her, so she's stuck in her little corner and can't go anywhere. I'm a very light sleeper, so I'm not concerned about squishing her or anything. When it's bedtime, she scurries up into her little spot and digs, and digs and digs. I always tease her and ask her if she's trying to dig her way to China. Then she curls up and goes to sleep

yorkie_mama22 · 01-22-2009, 07:48 PM

Stormy loves to sleep with us but she usually likes to sleep on the pillows above our head so shes curled up next to the top of your head.

of course she probably feels like the boss up there!

fbmom · 01-22-2009, 08:03 PM

I were talking but it was dark in the room and all of the sudden Wrigley is walking up me to lay on the pillow but he instead stopped right at my head and he laid down right on top of my head! I was just like uhhh excuse me Wrigley, I'm kinda talking here.

Sometimes in the middle of the night he will repeat the routine and I will feel him walking up my back haha

That's funny!
