Dogs are pack animals and do love to bundle with their pack mates during sleep or at the very least sleep quite near them. I've always let my dogs of all sizes sleep with me and never have rolled onto one yet, including the GSD's and Danes and of course, the Yorkies. My first Yorkie was 3.4 lbs. grown and later, my second Yorkie was a runt weighing in at 3 lbs. when she was grown and Tibbe is right at 6 lbs., so I've had a variety of sizes and none of them allowed me to turn over onto them. They do cuddle up very close at times but I think most dogs move to other parts of the bed during the night and then back close as if you wake up at different times, they are sometimes sleeping on your hip, your neck, touching your back, off to the side of the bed or down at the foot of the bed or anywhere in between. I'd try and you could put a large body pillow next to you so that you couldn't turn over onto her if you wanted. But I think your little Allie will love getting to sleep close to mom and will likely feel more secure sleeping with her pack mate.
