| No, they will not be squashed. They are smart enough to move out of the way. Unless you are a very violent trasher in bed...in which case, you shouldn't have anything in bed w/ you. Just thought I would add, I'm not talking about little puppies, but rather a Yorkie at least 6+ months old. Last edited by DomLee; 09-06-2005 at 08:23 AM. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Mine have slept with me since I got them - as a mother I guess we have built in NON-SQUASH antennas....I loved it - but I wouldn't advise everyone to sleep with their puppies if they are heavy sleepers ....then I would be afraid they could get hurt or smothered. I'm an extremely light sleeper and when Cheri was little she stayed in the same spot under my chin and would wake me up when she needed to pee.

| Yorkie's I feel can sleep safe in your bed after a year old and if the owner isn't a kicker, roller, etc. Schatzie sleeps with us on occasion but is such a huge pillow/bed hog. I've even went to the couch in the middle of the night as to not to disturb her! Gosh, she is way too spoiled, LOL.

| Coco started sleeping with me at about 4 or 5 months. It is really amazing how aware you are of your surroundings when there's something itty bitty sleeping next to you. I consider myself a medium sleeper (between deep and light) but Coco stretches a paw and I'm awake.

| All of our s sleep with us the pups do not sleep with us until they can stay dry or have no accidents at night, they all sleep on my side of the bed as my hubby doesnt like them in their but when he falls asleep they will manuever over to his side, they are like sand bags if you move they fill right back in.If they do not sleep with us something is up with them, illness etc.. |

| I am a light sleeper & I know where everybody is at all times. When somebody moves, everybody moves - it's pretty funny actually!

| Patton goes inside his crate and wakes me up in the middle of the night which had used to mean he wanted to go pottie, so we both go potty. But lately he wakes me up and I take him to the restroom, but only I use the restroom. And then I take him to my bed, and he now is waking me up each night so I take him to bed. He does fine, no accidents and he is now able to hold it since he doesn't pee when I go to the restroom in the middle of the night. I am a heavy sleeper, but have noticed I wake up a few times just to make sure all is well, and then go back to sleep. They are amazing!

| I might get some negitive responses to this, but I have 7 yorkies. And I used to sleep in our spare room, so the dogs could sleep with me. My husband doesn't want to share the bed with the dogs. He wasn't a fan of seprate beds either. So he will allow one dog in the bed at a time. So everyone get a turn to sleep with us. When it isn't their turn I do kennel them at nite. Since they are den animals, they do go to their own kennels and put themselves up for the night. They all have their favorite blankee's in their kennels. All I have to do is shut the doors at night except for who ever's turn it is for bed privledges that night. I personally don't like to kennel, but they like it and I do feel in case of fire or other emergency that may happen in the middle of the night I would be able to locate all my babies and bring them to safety if need be. If I have a female about to whelp I do still retire to the spare room, so in the middle of the night they will be able to wake me in the event of puppies coming, this has worked great for me in the past.

| Zeus has been sleeping with us since we got him and he will let you know if you get close, believe me. He prefers to sleep under the covers and if you even nudge him, he growls. It is so cute, becasue he acts like he is so mad, but then he comes out, hair a mess, and just kisses us like crazy! I love that little boy!!

| I didn't get my yorkie until she was 5 months old, but she has slept with me since then. I also have 2 chihuahuas that I have had since they were 12 weeks old and they have slept with me since the first night. At first I was so worried about squishing them since they only weighed a pound, but its amazing how quickly you wake up as soon as they move. I swear I would wake up every hour and open my eyes to make sure they were still there. I don't worry about rolling over any of them now, they have all learned to move out of the way when they need to |

| I have the pleasure of sleeping with three. They all have there place on the bed, they all have to be touching me. Polly has been sleeping with me for about two week, she was so little I was scared she would get hurt. Now she knows when I roll over to move.
