Where does your yorkie sleep?

[orinskye]

toby likes to sleep across my neck too!!!! (except it is not so cute because he is now four lbs and it kind of makes it hard to breath)

<<[QUOTE=Junebug]Oh my god, how do you get your cat and yorkie to tolerate each other?? That's such a rare site! >>

When Obie and I go to visit my mom and her big old cat, the four of us share the same big bed. Obie normally tries to chase cats but my mother's big old Elmo won't run, just looks at Obie as if to say, "Silly little dog, you can run around all you want to, just leave me out of it." The two animals have distinct territories on the bed. Elmo sleeps over on the other side of my mom and hisses if Obie gets too close.

That's so funny that yorkies like to be close to our heads when we sleep. I usually have to take Bentley outside to potty once during the night. When I bring him back in and put him on the bed, he marches up to the top and lays on my husband's head. It's the funniest thing

Cecilia likes to sleep near my head but not one it. I have short hair. My mother though has very think big hair and when we have gone to visit her Cecilia likes to sleep on her hair. I guess it makes a comfy bed. Cecilia has slept with me since I got her. I have never worried about rolling on top of her and I actually move alot at night. If I move and she is there it wakes both of us up and one of us moves. (Usually it's me). She is a great jumper and will jump up and down at night to use the potty.

Obie also gets up to use the pad during the night. In fact I usually have to get up once or twice myself, and I will say, "Gotta go pee, Obie," and he will jump right off and go do his business while I go do mine. It's very cute.

Penny sleeps near my head, in the curve of my back, or by my knees.

my yorkie is only 4 months old as well but from the time i brought him home at 8 weeks old he has slept on my pillow he will have it no other way neither i was scared about rolling over and the traning issue but we have made it easy for him to get down with 2 pillows shaped for him to get up and down easily and if he needs to go to the bathroom he will get down and try to make it to the bathroom there have been accidents but i give him credit for trying then he will come back in bed an lay down and go to sleep we tried the kennel the first part of the night when i brought him hime he just whined the whole time and i felt to bad to leave him in there so now he sleeps in bed with mommy and daddy as close to our heads as possible good luck though

My 3 month old Bo sleeps in his kennel at night and naps there during the day. He has his "lambie" and a blanket in there and I lay a small blanket over the top to cover the holes on the sides. This seems to make it more cozy, warm, and secure for him. He can still see out the front. He doesn't whine in his kennel unless he needs something (a drink of water or to go out, etc.). He spends short periods in there 3 or 4 times a day since I don't have a puppy confinement pen or convenient place to put him unattended. We have play time several times a day but I never leave him unattended. When I'm gone during the day for errands I put him in my bathroom with his kennel, blanket, toys and water. He has always done really well with the kennel and hasn't soiled there since the first couple of weeks. I wish potty training was going as smoothly...

Legacy and Impreza sleep on our bed. At first I was worried about them going potty on our bed or us rolling over them, but it's worked out very well. They always sleep next to each other and most of the time it's by our feet. Legacy has been sleeping on my pillow above my head lately and Impreza has been sleeping by Mike and I's legs.

He's good about holding it all night and first thing when we get up I take him to his pee pad and wait till he does both. Anyway, just wanted some opinions! Thanks.

Operative word here ... "lightly" tap! We taught Toto in one short afternoon that barking was not acceptable except at appropriate times ... now that's one thing she learned well and she never ever barks [we can't stand yipping] unless she is playing or occasionally when she is startled. Also, in conjunction with the "tap" if you say "no" then pretty soon all you have to do is say a firm "no" and that's all it takes! I think a lot of people confuse "firm" with "mean or loud". We don't allow anyone to speak to Toto in angry, loud or mean sounding voices ... it's not necessary and certainly does nothing but scare her! If you use commands with just a word or two then they actually learn the words. It's easier for them and much, much easier for us!

Thats funny..
i have also a blanket around his bench... only the front is open so he can see. but its much more relaxer for him... when he is whining or at least dont want to sleep,.. (most of the time he sleeps right away cause he knows is mommys bedtime ) but i only have to say "no" or,. "snickers sleep now,. im dont with it,. mommy needs to sleep"and then he lay down look at me like,. ok mommy .. thats sooooo sweet.

Bentley has always slept right smack in the middle of us, (not in his very expensive custom bed we bought for him) but I love it because he keeps us warm. He usually sleeps through the night but will occasionally get up to use his pad in the guest bathroom. He will get VERY moody and make a weird "cat-like" noise if we accidently move him or bump him in the night so I never worry about rolling over on him. hehe

Louie, 4mos, still sleeps in his pen because we are still potty training and too small to use the doggy step. By the time we put him too bed he's so pooped out he snoozes with no complaints. Sometimes if we're REALLY exhausted we let him sleep in the bed with us.

Cordell sleeps right in the bed with us. Last night, he slept most of the night on my shoulder, against the pillow.
Cole, our chihuahua, sleeps under the blankets, usually by my feet or between my legs, and Chimi, our other chihuahua, sleeps on top of the blankets and becomes solid rock when he sleeps.....50 pounds of it! LOL!
Since I work most night, cuddling with my babies is a welcome treat to this ol bod....
My precious hubby is snuggled in next to me most of the time!

All of mine have beds by day and kennels at night. The yorkies are used to their kennels and actually Oliver will go in there instead of his bed during the day on his own. I think they like there own little place that noone will bother them in! If i lay on the couch at night they will both lay with me there too!

[linda44]

we have six in bed with us. Gidget sleeps in her bed in a pen. Im too afraid she will fall off and break something.
