Hello!
Our seven month old Yorkie is presently sleeping in a playpen in her pink bed. Last night during a thunder storm, she must have climbed the playpen wall and fallen to the floor. Thank goodness she's OK!! So.. We were wondering if it's a good idea to have your yorkie sleep with you, and at what age should we start? Mimi, our yorkie, uses a potty pad. Or, should we get a cover for the playpen and continue to keep her in the playpen? She's about 2.5 pounds and we worry that she may get squished if she sleeps in our bed. Does anyone sleep with their tiny yorkies? Is there ever a problem? Will the yorkie sleep through the night at 7 months or will they need to get up throughout the night to use their potty pad? Could we discuss this and hear what other YT members have done with this issue? Thanks so much!
