But you were the one who asked if I would also put an infant in a carrier (means dog carrier the way you said it) on my bed. That to me was ridiculous.
I have owned dogs all my life, been a reputable, good breeder for over 25 years and raised lots of puppies and retrained rescues.
I have also been a mother for 21 years raising an adopted son and many foster children and babies and I have NEVER had a dog, pup, or human baby fall off of my bed when sleeping with me.. Nor have I ever rolled onto a baby or dog/puppy in my bed.
This is WHY I feel my opinion counts, because I also have experience.
And I don't appreciate being called foolish! At least i have been respectful to you and others I disagree with. |
stepping in only to share....I read jmdt's post to mean a baby carrier - which may have been mis-read - and all opinions matter.
those of us who had (human) kids probably used Bassinets and always had them right in our rooms - I know I did......then moved baby into their own room with a crib.....but remember many nights I had them right with me in bed.....it's a bit different with tiny puppies because of their size - but it all boils down to
how we sleep and what we want them to do as they mature
I'm a VERY light sleeper - just a change in breathing or movement would wake me up. I still sleep like that
....
I can remember nights my sons would just come in my room and stand there (wondering how to wake me up for a drink or whatever)
and I'd SENSE them .....Same with my girls - they sleep with me - always have ....but back when my husband was alive I made sure they always slept curled up with me - he was a heavy sleeper so all those nights were pretty tiring....it was like I never went into deep sleep.....the drawback about a puppy sleeping with someone is they COULD 'go' on the bed - I was lucky - never happened in my case....
mommadog1....way to go on the Adoptions and foster kids - that's something to be commended for ! (I'm adopted and was one of the lucky ones- I LOVE LOVE LOVE my parents)
so now....kiss kiss you 2
you both have good posts from what I've read ...if we all did everything the same things would be boring pretty quickly around here....and the different opinions help because what may work for one person may not for others.....
EDITED TO ADD - your post #85 was EXCELLENT
I went thru coccidia with my Chanel and it was awful. IF you don't catch it right away with a tiny puppy - you can easily lose them ...(my breeder of course denied it but she was NOT a good breeder once she had our $$) - the best thing is KNOWLEDGE and back then - I'd not heard of it till I was in the ER at 2 am on a Sunday.
