My Bella came to me last September and I thought she would be content to sleep in her crate like my dogs before her. WRONG!!!!! I had never allowed my dogs in my room nor in my bed in the past. I put her in her crate ON my bed...that lasted about 2 nights...before I knew it she was next to me on a baby diaper pad and blanket (just in case). She would snuggle right in my arm as I slept on my side and moved only when she needed to pee.
Bella is pad trained and now a year later she gets up in the middle of the night does her thing and comes right back to bed. When she is hot she sleeps on the bed under the ceiling fan and when she gets chilled she crawls under the covers...lol.
Now she gets up to have a snack....when I wake up I see that she has brought me "gifts" her toys...a piece or two of kibble and one of her bully sticks....makes me laugh each time that she tries to take such good care of me. I can also see that she was up do pee and poop on her pad in the kitchen (no accidents) and came back to bed! The best....no 2 a.m. wake up call!!!!
Right now she is asleep in my lap as I am curled up on the sofa with my laptop. She is a GREAT companion. She is not happy when I leave...I work about 8 - 9 hrs./day. She seems to know when it is a weekend and us girls can hang out! Can't remember her never having been a part of my life!
