Letting Yorkie's sleep in your bed?

[kimp5]

Im in the minority as our dog does not sleep in our bed and I wouldn't let her. It just isn't for me but she sleeps in her crate in my daughters room. She is very happy there listening to my daughters breathing. I would be too afraid she would fall off anyway and she already broke a leg once so I don't even want to chance another one.

Morgan sleeps with us

Ian sleeps with us. It's funny, but sometimes he will get in his chair to sleep, and we will get him and put him back in bed with us!

Dolly sleeps with me I won't have it any other way. Love waking up with her next to me sometimes she sleeps in after I get up

Sprout has slept with us since he was 12 weeks (he is now 14 years). Bella has slept with us since she was about 4 months(ish). It did not seem fair (to us) to allow one up there but not the other. Gypsy is far too small still, but she will most likely share the bed also.

There are certain times when they all sleep on the floor in their blankets (I'm married, and won't go into detail)...but for the most part if we're in bed so are they.

If you're considering whether or not to allow your dogs in the bed, I first recommend you make it very clear to them that there is a drop off with a bed and it isn't level with the ground. You should also have toy breed friendly stairs leading up to the bed or a toy breed friendly pet ramp. I do not agree with those who let their dogs in their bed and have no means of them getting up and down safely.

Where else would they sleep?

Goliath and Gizmo sleep with us!! We got Goliath 1st and he was very scared and cried when we left him downstairs, then we tried to bring him up to the room and he cried until we brought him up on our bed.

Then we got Gizmo and Gizmo stayed downstairs and never made a peep, but after a week we felt very bad that we left him downstairs so we brought him up to bed also.

To our amazement they both sleep and cause no problems - it's unbelievable but it is working!!

We do send them down to play so we can have our alone time!!

Two of my three dogs sleep with me. The oldest sleeps in the floor by the bed.

Wow..... and I have resisted allowing my Binky to sleep on my bed,following the advice of vet and dog trainer.I would love to cuddle up to him but its likely that whoever has to look after him when I go abroad would not be keen.He sleeps either on a blanket on the floor beside my bed or in his crate which is near,(whichever takes his fancy!) and ..doesnt move!

Both Nena and Rufus have their beds in our bedroom so we sleep in the same room.
Rufus doesn't stay still when he is on the bed and we can't sleep so I put his bed next to my bedside and there is where he sleeps.
Nena can be very quiet on the bed so we let her sleep with us but in the morning she on her own bed

Both of my boys sleep in bed with us, and I wouldn't have it any other way....but I will admit that it has gotten in the way of my SO and I's "one on one" time together.On top of that, it makes it difficult when we leave town and they have to stay elsewhere.

I refuse to kennel my dogs, so they go to stay at Grandma's...which is like a vacation for them because she has 2 of Princes sons. It's like a big doggie reunion and they aren't nervous or upset there. The only issue is the sleeping arrangements. My moms 2 dogs sleep in bed with her and her husband, but there is absolutely no room for my 2 boys and I wouldn't want them jumping off her bed and onto the wood floor anyways. So...my moms ends up sleeping with my boys out on couch. It reclines.

Prince loves to go to bed. It's his most favorite time of day!~even better than meal time or his walks. In fact, he will sit and talk to me or start running towards the bedroom if he thinks it's past our bedtime...and when I tell say "lets go to bed" he hauls tail into the bedroom. It's pretty much the only time I see his little butt run!! LOL!!

Bailey sleeps on his dog bed, near Ginger and Gus's dog bed. Our first dachshund, Beanie, slept in our bed and he fell out one night and hurt his back. We then decided it was better to let them sleep on the floor by our bed then in the bed.

Jasper will start sleeping with us in 2 weeks or less. Our renovations will be finished and we will have our home back in order. He will be 7 months old on the 11th. I do have concern of him peeing on the bed during the night. He has been sleeping in his crate and has been pee pad trained. I take him for his last pee time around 10-10:30 every night. He holds it until we wake up between 6 & 7 every morning. My question is, have any of you had issues of your babies peeing on the bed at night? I want him to think of this as his bed and keep it clean. I just don't know how long it will be before he thinks like that.

Trixie has been very good she will growl or bark if she wants down...now daddy watching her last weekend did somehow manage to let her have an accident.

She did it at the end of the bed...guess she thought that was safe since she sleeps up top...but she had not done something like that since she was very young. She turned 1 last month.

I have allowed Lennie to sleep with me since night 1. Because my husband is in the army he is away 5 nights a week, lennie is like my comfort teddy bear so warm and fluffy ! People call me mad and say its unhygienic, but as long as my yorkie is happy then I am
