it's a great idea except, I don't want her to get used to it. I'm in a situation where hubby and I do not have kids yet but will in a year or two and when they come, we don't want our dogs to feel left out/depressed when more time is spent with the babies. When babies come, the puppies will have to leave the bed for the human babies and I don't want to depress the dog (a post I read on this site from someone who experienced this). So, we're trying everything we can to love our pups but not spoil them, which in the end will hurt them. That post said to love and treat your dog like a dog but make sure it knows it's place in our house...otherwise it'd be too spoiled and expect ALL our attention. That other dog from a fellow yorkietalk person got so depressed and wouldn't eat or look at them when they had human babies.
