Izzy slept with me off and on. When I first brought him home he slept in his crate. When we went to Nashville for christmas, he slept in the bed with me because he was scared being in a new place. After that he slept with me up until this past weekend. Saturday night, I put him in his crate. I made the decision to do it for several reasons:
1. I want him to get back into the routing of sleeping there and making it his home...I didnt spend the money on the crate, blankets etc for nothing.
2. I want my bed back.
3. He can be a bit annoying in the middle of the night: walking on the bed, chewing on whatever making a smacking sound, climbing on me etc. I had to put him in his crate in the middle of the night a few times because of this.
4. His breath smells like death because he is teething.
5. I'm single....nuff said there.
He did well in his crate Saturday and last night. He's kind of a sleeper anyway so it works out for me. I do think that they tend to take over the house if you let them.
