Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Sleeping in bed with furbaby? I have been falling asleep on the couch lately to sleep with my furbaby And she has a pretty hard time getting up there as is (sometimes 6 jumps ). And our bed is a queen, but very high up off the ground! How would i make my bed easily accessible to her? she wont jump off high grounds, and i dont want her to get hurt! Any ideas on how she could get up and down as she pleases? She potties on pads pretty well, so im hoping we could have her potty pad in our room at night. Do i sound like a silly overprotective mama? hehe!

| Overprotective? Absolutely not!! Some use pet stairs - however they aren't very attractive... so I use ottomans. Good luck!

| We have the same issue and are looking into dog stairs--the padded kind. Also, we might put on a night light so he can see where he is going. Hope this helps. |

| You are definitely NOT being overprotective- just smart. We use an ottoman as well!

Yorkie Talker | helpful? Overprotective? Absolutely NOT! Considering how easy it is for our babies to break a leg. My bed is extremely high--used to be a waterbed and has 2 drawers deep underneath it. We have stairs from my grandmother's bed (hers came with them). But, I've also been looking at the cushiony ones that they sell in catalogs. We've also used ottomans. They work quite well too. |

We have a fairly small bedroom, and a crib on the other side for my daughter, so i dont think we would have room for an ottoman or stairs... I was thinking of a pile of pillows, but maybe something more creative

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have ramps next to each bed and they fly up and down them. I have the scamp ramps.

| Here's a dump question... can Yorkies sleep somewhere else but in our bed??? Or better... we are blessed they let us sleep in their bed! We took the bed frame away and have the boxspring right on the floor (that way I don't have to clean under it either ) and some pillows in different hights to get up and down... |

| we have a leather love seat at the foot of our bed. the dogs jump easily onto the loveseat then up the soft back onto the bed. its easily done by both my maltese and my yorkie pup. They do sleep with us in our kingside bed. my yorkie likes to be between our 2 pillows and my maltese at the foot of the bed. we are lucky enough to have a large bed where we are all comfy. When we leave, the dogs like to be up on our bed. ( But madison the yorkie will also go in her crate and hang out there.) |

| My baby sleeps curled up around my legs everynight. We have a king size bed that is very tall so she can't get up there by herself. But we pick her up everynight. I need to get some type of stairs for her. |
