Thank you one and all for all your wisdom and suggestions. I appreciate each and every one of you and your links are awesome.
Let me clarify about the bed thing. I have made a makeshift waterproof kind of pad, well not a pad, it's made out of two very large plastic table cloths laid over my comforter and bedding and on top of that I put a large kingsize comforter that they already christened with everything and anything (LOL). Although it is a bit uncomfortable sleeping like this, I HAVE done it. Your solutions sound so much better with the waterproof sheet pads though, that I am going to buy them right away. But this is not the real issue, I mean the pee factor. It IS somewhat of a factor (I too have an unbelievably expensive bed)- but, the
real reason, main reason is that they both, but mostly Cassie, insists upon wanting to sleep on or near the veeeeery edge of the bed, and any opportunity she has she will wiggle out and run to the bed edge. Even if I place her right next to me, at any time she is capable of getting up suddenly and hopping at an unbelievable fast pace to the very very edge of the bed. Now this bed is a gigantic king size mattress on a king size adjustable frame, inside a wooden platform. It is high!!!! And IF she fell, it wouldn't be on the soft carpeting on the floor but on the hard wooden platform surrounding the bed. You have no idea how many times I have had my heart in my mouth and I almost had a stroke from fear of her falling off the bed. It is very dangerous for her, and I am really really hesitant to keep her up on that bed at all, but especially for sleeping when I might be in a deep sleep and not realize she moved to the edge. unless that bed is completely surrounded on all three sides by a barrier that would prevent her or Muffin from falling off, I do not feel at all that this is a safe option for them, and especially now, with this AAI diagnosis for Cassie. I do occasionally try to put them on my bed, or had previously, for play time and just hanging out together and that is when I would use the plastic table cloths and their old peed on blanket to cover my bedding. But to tell you the truth, I still feel unsafe because they are both so very fast, and I am not sure I could get to the edge of the bed in time if either of them miscalculated and were to fall. So this is why I am opting to either hold Cassie in my arms, or she stays on the floor. That said, I have to go immediately and order the raised dishes and the rubber sheet pads for just in case times, or just to have them available. Hope I explained this okay. Thanks again for all your wisdom. Love, Shellie
