Obie (3/4 Yorkie and 1/4 poodle, 5 pounds) sleeps in bed with me. As a puppy, he slept in a pen next to my bed, and I would take him up into my bed for a cuddle in the morning, after he had used his pad and I knew it was safe. This gradually morphed into just spending the night with me, as he got more completely pad-trained and the winter got colder. People talk about the danger of them getting squashed, but Obie seems to be on top of the situation and move out of the way when I move. A friend of mine whose chihuahua sleeps with her says the same thing. He likes to nestle in behind my knees, or further down, by my feet. |
