We tried and tried to get Zoe to sleep in a crate, first on her own and then with her buddies the cavaliers. She hated it. Finally let her in the bed, but I always worried I would crush her (2 1/2 lbs), since she preferred under the covers for warmth. I finally put one of her blankets around neck heighth on the bed between hubby and I and she curls up on that. I cover her if it's chilly and she stays there all night. Hubby and I sleep better because we're not so worried about her.
My cavaliers started out on our bed. Emma started snoring so loudly she had to move to another room in a crate. Then Cooper wanted to join her. Now they get tired and put themselves to bed in their crate. Cindy sleeps with my son, or with us when he's not home.
It's a house full of love!
