Once its started it wont ever stop. But, our lil furbaby has slept with us from day 1. I would not have it any other way. I love the way she snuggles up with us at night. She may only be 3 pounds but she sure is a pillow hog! And when hubby snores to loud she jumps on his chest and licks his nose till he rolls over and stops snoring. Its the funnest thing I have ever seen but she needs her sleep too!!
Our yellow lab and blue heeler both sleep with my daughter. She is only 9 but I sure do sleep better knowing they are in there and that she is 100% safe. Our heeler would not even let a fly land on her at night and the lab is about the same. I dont even try to sneek in her room without them dogs knowing that I am there.
