No no no..i dont want to get my Kelsey in any bad habits. She sleeps in her crate right beside me and she can see me just fine, that's all she needs. If she wakes up early in the a.m and i'm still sleepy but she is wide awake and ready to start her day, i just move my blanky and pillow to the couch and she'll sleep with me on the couch until im ready to wake up
