| Sleeping arrangements. Can I see photos of your sleeping arrangements? I have been using a pet taxi because that is what came with my two when I got them. I am getting a crate today. Does anyone decorate their crate? I want to do something fun and creative. Post photos please! |

| This is the brand that my Bella sleeps in. It's small enough to keep on a night stand next to the bed. Bella's is red though, not gray. I put soft baby blankets on the bottom for her comfort.

| My 2 boys sleep in bed with me...although they have taken over my bed. They box me into a small corner of it as they sprawl out. I've also got issues with my older dog...if he doesn't want to sleep, mamma isn't allowed to either. He gets up up usually 2-5 times a night to pee, drink water and snack. I've tried to pull up his water but it makes it worse because he will get me out of bed and stand by his water dish. If I ignore his plea and go back to bed, he will then come in bed and bother me until I get up and go fill his water. He is VERY smart and he is VERY persistent. If he could only talk, my life would e much easier!! LOL!! He's gotten so bad with his persistent pestering and begging that I've thought of caging both of my boys in an exercise pen at night just so I can actually get some good sleep. Unfortunately, I feel like Ricky gets the short end of the stick that way. He's great in bed and shouldn't be banished to the cage just because Princeton can't behave. Once I move into a new house with a bigger bedroom, I am either going to cage them in my room or I am going to have to buy a bigger bed and build them a bed that fits next to mine. I am thinking of a bed like this.... 5. Side Dog Bed - 7 Unique Items of Home Decor for Pets ... | All Women Stalk This will give me my room, while giving them a space to sleep right next to me. I may try just getting a king size bed first, but I don't think it will solve the problem. It doesn't matter how big the bed is....the boys want to lay right on top of me and Prince will still wake me up at night!! That's why I think building them their little side bed might be a better solution. |

| Sophie slept in a crate until she was a little over a year (she's 6 now), she then transitioned into a pet bed that sits at the foot of my bed. She hated being caged in and quickly made the transition without any problems. When I go to bed, she goes to bed. We say our goodnights (cuddles + kisses) and then she climbs into bed and never bothers me unless she wakes up in the morning before I do and has to potty. She's such a good girl! I feel so blessed to have her! <3

| Yazmin sleeps in my bed at night but she also has a crate with a cover when she's left home alone. Although it comes with a padded bed I replaced it with her original leather tufted bed. I wanted her to have something familiar that I knew she'd be comfortable with. She loves the cozy feeling, it's like she's sleeping in a cave. Lol Pet Crate & Carrier Accessories | Wayfair |

| The kennels I have are 17''x 20" and can be oriented in different ways because there are two doors on each. The doors are rarely closed on the kennels and they use them as they would any other bed. (And my two, as you can see, like to snuggle with excessive blankets and plush toys as though in a pile of litter-mates. Also, my younger pup has swallowing issues, so a water bottle is attached to hers.)
