YT member RDB911 sells them and his customer service is excellent and delivery time is super speedy. Check out the "for sale" section. He also sells Himalayan chews, coconut chips, and Kwiggy Bo carriers.

Thank You

Thanks!! This has beeen really fun to read! I will try to put her back with us! I cross my fingers that she understood and she wont do it again.. but we will see!
How would it be the best way to correct her, if she pee's again???

I'm the same, I have a Morkie too and I work 3 nights a week. he stays in his play pen (not crate) when I'm at work and I just leave out a pee pad for him in the corner. What I did find out though, is if i'm home too late...he gets bored or something and chews the living daylights out of the pad. So.....I started cordoning the playpen so he basically has enough room to fit his body in to get to the pee pad but no more than that....like a big V shape (don't know if you could picture that) but that has stopped chewing AND it has stopped him from peeing on the corner of the pad and making me wipe it up after a 14 hr shift.

Benson sleeps with us . . . sometimes. We have doggie stairs, although he really doesn't need them, and he gets up and down as wanted. He's always usually cuddled to my back first thing in the morning though.

At first, I put Catherine in her bed on my bed.

So, I knew she was safe in her bed, but she was still in the bed with me. Eventually she started getting out and night and now she sleeps on my hip every night.

And, once Stitch came in to our lives, he sleeps on the bed, too. Starts out on my hubby's pillow, but ends up on my feet sometime in the middle of the night.

And, I get my washable pee pads from: Washable dog and puppy pee pads at doggiepeepads.com

He has never had a boo boo in the bed. I am a teacher, and his lazy butt sometimes won't even wake up when I get up early to go to work.

Ute White · 07-03-2010, 03:59 AM

No, my bed is mine! I never had my skin children sleep with me and although Merlin is my baby I think he should sleep in his own bed.

rumdust · 07-03-2010, 04:57 PM

My yorkie boy sleeps between my legs down by my feet. He is smart make any big move and he is on the floor until safe lol.

My Lucy slept in my bed from the first night! That was not my intention but she seemed so lonely and whimpering. She was so tiny and my bed is high. I put pillows all round the other side of the bed and her in the middle with the pillows on one side and me on the other.
She loves to snuggle; I don't care how hot it is at night - she likes to be right up against you. She has never had an accident on my bed (crosses fingers).

I was worried about squishing her at first; but I am a very light sleeper; comes from years of waking up for a baby that seemed to never sleep! And, yes, he slept in my bed too until he was able to sleep through the night on his own.

Now the baby is a teen-ager and, of course, sleeps in his own room and won't wake up!

We had to put our beloved Yorkie down recently, but she slept in our bed for nearly 13 years. (She was a real snuggler). When she was a puppy, she HATED her crate. She would cry all night long. She would also go to the bathroom in her crate and it just wasn't working for us. I was so upset by her crying that I put her in our bed fairly early and she spent the next 13 years in our bed. She never, ever, had an accident and after reading all of these posts, I can see that we were very lucky in her training. We never did pee pads and trained her to go outside. She could hold it forever and always slept through the night after around 9 months or so. Every once in a while, but rarely, she would get up in the middle of the night and bark to go out, but that wasn't very often. She would also go all day without accidents. We worked hard on training her to go outside and after much patience and peristance on our part, it paid off. We're looking at getting a new puppy and after reading some of these posts...I'm nervous about training again.

But hopefully, we'll have similar luck as we did with our beautiful Lexy. I can't imagine *not* having my dog sleep with me after our first. It was never a problem for us.

I'm sorry you lost your beautiful Lexy. While no dog will ever take her place, sounds like you are ready to open your heart to a new friend. Good luck in your search and welcome to YT.

I have been debating this very issue with my new little girl. For right now she is sleeping in her own bed in her little closet that I have gated off. She usually wakes up around 4 am and whines to be taken out. I let her get in bed with me after she goes potty, and she goes right back to sleep until I am ready to get up. So far thus has worked out well for us....

MissyinTX · 07-05-2010, 07:12 PM

When we first got Clammy she didn't sleep in the bed with us but now she does. Hubby gets home from work in the middle of the night and he takes her out and she goes right back to sleep til I get up. Amy has always slept in the bed with us. She refuses to move at night so once she's in bed that's it LOL.
