I can't help the original poster, as I'm still trying to read and prepare myself for all this tonight!
I don't mind a dog sleeping with me, but I'm afraid of messes on the bed (JUST bought new bedding!), and, call me lazy, REALLY don't want to have to get up every two hours to try to get them to piddle!
Is there a problem with, as one person sort of mentioned, keeping the pup in a pen beside your bed, with just room for a bed, and a piddle pad? They don't need to eat or drink during the night, do they?
