Samson has slept with us since the first nite. We had him in his crate next to our bed and the crying wouldn't stop. My husband took him out of his crate and put him on my pillow. He's been sleeping there every nite since then. Of course, he now has his own pillow but he goes back and forth between mine and his. No accidents fortunately! Down side is that he sometimes wakes me up in the middle of the night and wants to play. Oh well, life is too short to sleep it away anyways LOL
