Having dogs sleep in your bed is a personal choice, it has it's pros and cons. We currently have two sleeping with us but it does have its problems. My Dixie is almost 16 years old and she will no longer go up and down the steps by our bed because she is going blind. She usually will need up once during the night to go pee so she will just do a quiet little bark to let me know she wants down. I will get up with her then put her back in bed when she is done. Also, it can get challenging when you want to get intimate with your mate. Lol, yorkies don't like being booted out of bed for that. My hubby always said that yorkies make good birth control.

Then there is the concern about having them fall off the bed. That happened to us a few times over the years but luckily none ever got hurt.

Over the years I have let different ones sleep with us. I think the most we had sleeping with us at one time was 5. Unfortunately, a few yorkies that I would let sleep with us decided it was okay to pee on the bed so sadly those got banned from the bedroom.

Good luck to you whatever your decision might be.
