Butch can't get off our bed on his own. He's way too tiny. If he tried to get off our bed, he'd fall and injure himself.

We leave the door to his crate closed. He likes to wander into his crate during the day, and sometimes we've pushed the door almost shut. He seems to be fine with that. Butch loves his "little house." It's only at bedtime that he barks when he's in his little house.

The barking didn't start up immediately. It started quite some time after Butch joined our family.

We have cats, too, and several sleep on our bed. Butch doesn't like it if cats come too close to his personal space, so he snarls at them. I don't think we want to deal with a night of snarling.
