Yea, I tried the crate thing but my pups were in such misery that I couldn't stand it!! In bed they went. I was very nervous about Mari, being so small that I made sure she was in the middle, and I lost sleep but I LOVE her and Rico next to me, crossways, making me hug the edge
Angel is another story, I have only had her a month and she had ALWAYS lived in a playpen, and the breeder let her sleep with her a lot. She is 10 mos old so she is more comfortable in her crate, which is one for a 50lb dog. Also she is so fragile that I would be afraid of 'breaking' her.
