Lola slept in a crate in our room for about 6 months but my husband wanted her in bed with us. She is a sound sleeper and up until recently hardly every moved, she would sleep at the bottom of the bed between our legs, but since she likes her own bed I would put one of her small beds on our bed and she would sleep in that. I move around a lot and I felt this was safer. Lately she has been moving around and sleeps between us, so now I made a pillow about half the size of mine which goes between our pillows and she rests her head on that like a person does. I actually find it safer for her up there instead of at the foot.
We spend weekends on our boat and that bed is smaller plus it's wider at the top than at the bottom. Plus there is drop off at the bottom so if she sleeps at the foot I am very afraid if I were to push her off while I was sleeping she could easily get hurt. So now I make sure she is up between our pillows with another small bed. LOL I have taken to sleeping at a slant to make sure she has room between us. I often wish we never started letting her sleep on the bed, I think it is safer and both of us would sleep better if we had our own space. |
