| Sleeping with your Yorkie Do a lot of you let your babies sleep with you? I really would like Diamond to sleep with me but it hasn't worked so far. Usually she ends up falling off the bed (queen size) or she will just start running laps on the bed and she won't settle down. I am also paranoid that she may pee/poop on the bed. She is good with going the bathroom outside but every now and then, she is sneaky. Any tips?

| My bf wasn't going to let Kona sleep in our bed, but one day she was able to get on the bed by her self. Since then, she's been sleeping with us. She will get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I think she has learned that when the light is off it is bedtime. Good luck! |

| Maybe you could build a 'nest' for her with towels or blankets. That way she can't fall off the bed and also she might feel more contained what means - don't poop or pee here! |

| Kobe and Kali do not sleep with us. But they sleep right next to my bed. We tried to put Kobe in our bed when he was young but he didn't like it. He preferred his own bed next to ours. |

| Gypsy sleeps in our bed. Hubby built a small ramp so she can climb up and down.

| Rocky sleeps in either his kennel or on the bed w/ us. The past few nights it was on the bed, but last night since he had such a busy night out, he passed out before we even left the bar and he slept in his kennel once we got home. I thought he would start whining in the middle of the night to get out, but he didnt wake up until this morning. When he sleeps on the bed it's soo cute when he wakes up, he has to give us kisses. |

| The last 2 weeks have been so horrible for me as the babies were both sick (Coccidia and Annika with yeast infection although now completely gone) and then I got sick . . it would not be fair for only one to be in bed with us so I decided they stay in their crates in the laundry room. I am still recovering from Bronchitis (taking codin so it knocks me out) but as soon as I am completely recovered, I will have both of them back in my bed. Annika is the little one so she stays on my side of the bed but I put a huge pillow to block her off from falling. Tiger stays in the middle now since Annika has invaded his spot. If Annika is sleeping with us, she sleeps pretty much straight . . although I try to wake up in the middle of the night to let her relive herself. It has worked so far . . . she did pee one night so I had to wash my coverlet. Tiger, on the other hand, has never soiled our bed so he is pretty good. However, when he turned about 6 months, I put on a band so accidents won't happen . . .although so far, his pad has always been dry! You just need to get them used to sleeping with you I guess. The babies know that when I say "nighty nighty" then it is time to sleep. Make sure all lights are off and I kinda massage their necks which somehow makes them drowsy . . . . Why don't you put Diamond in the middle of the bed . . and have her blanket laid out so she know not to soil it. I do that both for Tiger and Annika, although Tiger no longer needs to as he is so used to not soiling . . . .he is the one that is a light sleeper and moves around the bed soooo much. I really would like to have a stairs so he can get back on the bed when he needs to. He always, always wants to jump off the bed Be patient with Diamond . . am sure she'll come around . . . . |

| Tiffany would go crazy if I didnt put her in the bed! I love it that way! She sleeps on one side of me and my son sleeps on the other side between my husband and I! (he is 2) Tiffany is great sleeping in the bed. She sleeps like a rock!

| Georgie sleeps with us and occasionally our 75lb Boxer does too. I love having them sleep with us and Georgie refuses to sleep anywhere. Coco on the other hand doesn't mind the floor she has more room to spread out I worried at first about him having an accident in the bed, but he was such a good boy about scratching to get down to let me know. Now he has steps and he gets down and scratches at the bedroom door to get out. If he is hyper at night we just turn the TV off and and the lights and he knows it's bedtime.

YT 3000 Club Member | Chester slept with me from 8 wks to almost 4 yrs, he only peed twice when I didnt get him off the bed quick enough, he would sleep around my neck as a puppy, I would miss my babydog if I could not sleep with him. He used to want to play when the light went off but he would eventually settle down. good luck |

| Bo sleeps with us at home and in the truck....when he was younger he would lick me in the face to wake me up so he could use his pads but now he can get back on the bed he just goes to his pads by himself.....he has always been good about not making mistakes in the house so i dont really worry about it that much.........he likes to sleep on hubbys side more than mine and i wish he would sleep with me more but as long as i know he is in bed with us and close to me thats all that matters lol.....good luck with getting your furbaby to sleep with you i am sure you will find something that will work for the both of you |
