When Abby was a tiny puppy I put her kennel beside the bed (on my side of the bed) and fastened the door, I was afraid that she would get out and if I got up during the night I would step on her. Then as she got a little older I left the door open and she still slept in her kennel because my husband said no dogs on the bed. Then one night he came to bed after me and put her up there and that's where she has been since. She sleeps at the foot of the bed where the comforter is folded back. If I go to bed first she lays near my head, then when my husband comes to bed she moves to the foot of the bed. My problem is, she can't get on the bed by herself so she will jump up and whine and then when I lean down to help her up, she runs backwards. It takes forever. She sleeps all night now without having to get up, if she wakes up and needs to get down she comes up and licks my face to wake me up. |
