I wasn't going to let Kipper sleep in our bed, since my husband is a sound sleeper and might roll on him. Another reason was because when our dear mini schnauzer got lymphoma, he could no longer sleep with us due to the deterioration of his bowels and the pus draining from his swollen lymph nodes, etc. He felt like an outcast and I didn't want another dog to ever feel that way. If they always sleep in their own bed, then no matter what their condition, they will feel safe and loved. Kipper had other ideas and has slept in our bed for the last two nights. I think he gets cold. He also sleeps longer than if he is in his crate, so that is nice for me. I just make sure I am always touching him and know where he is. I am a light sleeper, anyway. |
