My dog's sleep in their kennel at nite. by 7.30 or8.00 I say bed time and they go and get in by them selves. My bed is really high and i'm scared they will jump and hurt their selves. I have step's but they don't seem to use them. as long as they are safe is what matter's to me. If I go to the couch during the nite then they come and lay on me. aren't yorkies and chihuahuas amazing?
