This is a great topic !
Yeh, my three Yorkies sleep in bed with me and my Hubby !
TARA "the queen" was our first, and I just wouldn't have her anywhere else ! She wasn't having it any other way either, though, as we say, she has "no springs" being that wee and short legged - that we have to lift the queen into her bed - which she would stay in 24 hours a day if she had her way ! When she gets too hot, she crawls out and goes on top until she has cooled down, and then back under again !!! Tara then wants to be a "sporran" as we call it (scottish kilt bag)as she gurns over Kenny's neck until he lets her jump over him and down to his nether regions !!! (the warmest spot for the queen !)
We worried when getting our next two if they could cope with my big Kenny(hubby) in case he squashed them - but no, Casper licks Kenny to death, "he does his duty" as we say....he lies over his throat and smiles and licks him to death, then and only then will he go under the covers for the rest of the night. He will stand
ANY amount of heat(well he's a skinny wee mannie)and goes between my hubby's legs !
Tammy only being with us since last October has only just realised that Tara won't kill her if she too goes under the covers at times. But when my hubby is home from night-shift or on days off, she sleeps like a helmet over the top of his head, and cleans her big puppy (my hubby)to death frequently through the night !
NOW THAT WOULD ALL BE ALRIGHT IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FACT THAT MY HUBBY IS A BOILER IN BED !!!
Therefore can you imagine the heat he gets into with all three dogs hogging his warmth (I am always cold, so they only come to my side if he is away on nights and the blanket is on, lol)....and he starts moaning in his sleep trying to oust all the covers and the dogs who are boiling him up even more, ha ha ha !
And as for Nooky, well Tara starts growling and scrubbing against us, Casper starts to lick bits he shouldn't, and is told to - - - - - - off, and Tammy stays glued to Kenny's head ! It's a nightmare !
They actually put you off having any fun !!!
I wouldn't throw them out of the bed for anything though !
Kenny and I have just realised that we no longer get a good sleep and only get half an hour here and there - because they either wake you up when they are to-ing and frowing, or they want you to get up as they think it
MUST BE BREAKFAST TIME ! .....a whole hour early !!!
They love nightshift, as they are in bed all night with me, and point blank refuse to leave Kenny when he comes home to his bed and I am getting up. They actually know when I am getting up and make a run for it and dive under the covers before I can get them ! If I then call them to come with me, there is a deathly silence -
THERE ARE NO DOGS IN THIS BED ! - and if I try to go under the covers and get them they are not amused ! Casper once growled at me from between Kenny's legs when I went in to drag him out....the cheek of it !
(He was awful sorry though, lol)
ARE THESE YORKIE TRAITS DO YOU THINK ?
I call them BEDBUGS !!!
