Hi I have two yorkies ........the 1yr old sleeps with me (took til she was about 8 months because I have cats too and being territorial - she'd pee on the bed when the cat tried to sleep with us). She got over that after having to go back to sleeping in the crate and now is back to sleeping with me. My 3 mos old yorkie, Widget (Wild Midget) sleeps in her crate IN my bedroom. My problem with the 1yr old is that she has designated herself as the household NARC and whenever the cats are getting into something - she alerts (barks) me and chases them. I've tried closing the door so she stays calmly in bed with me but then when she has to go, she can't get to the kitchen pad to relieve herself. And if I leave the door open...........she jumps and barks every time she hears the cats up to something!

I too was afraid of rolling over on her in the beginning - but at 6lbs now - she's pretty solid and strong and seems to know right where to lay where that won't happen!

Good Luck - I think Yorkies are the most WONDERFUL family members!
