I love Georgie sleeping with me and You would be amazed at how quick he moves when I move. I also have never had him fall off the bed you learn to sleep very still and are careful when they are in bed with you. Georgie was in a crate for 10 minutes the first night we brought him home. He cried the entire time and I got him out and he has been in our bed ever since and I love every minute of it.

She loves to crawl under the covers (I have a heated mattress cover) and sleep either by my feet or curled up to my butt.

I love waking up to her kisses in the morning

I know the cold nose problem that is right were Skeeta (my min pin) slept that night and ummmmmm hubby had a wake up from something to ummmmm he kind of got something bit by Max We both sleep nekked to But last night he made sure he wore undies to bed lol. I am not afraid of rolling over on them because i am a very light sleeper and i slept with my baby Chiquita (may she R.I.P) for 15 years but i had a bed that was alot lower to the ground then. I just talked to hubby about it at lunch and he said that if i want them to sleep with us he came up with a solution he is going to build us a new bed frame with high sides so they won't roll off (he has always wanted to buil one anyways ) and he is going to build shelves in it for their toys and blankies and stuff and also build a small set of stairs on it. Now i just have to decide if i want the cold nose waking me up in the middle of the night But you know i think the cuddles i get from them would make it all worth it

after reading this thread im starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my dexter...he doesnt like to sleep in bed with us!! he is now 6 months and has full run of the house and i figured he would LOVE to sleep in our bed, but he always jumps off and sleeps on the couch in the other room. strange!

if you really dont want them in bed with you, you will have to put up with the crying for a while. if you let them out and into your bed when they cry, they will learn that crying gets them what they want. if you dont mind them sleeping in your bed, then get a larger bed that is also closer to the ground!

The bed is being built and the mattress is being bought lol I wouldn't worry about him not wanting to sleep in your bed some just don't like it i know my lhasa apso (Harley) i used to have preferred the couch to the bed He also had free run of the house and that is just where he chose to sleep.

I thought they would stop after a few minutes but it only got louder So hubby takes the mattress off the bed AGAIN and puts it on the floor. I let the babies out and they go running to the bed and fly under the covers So now i have 3 furbutts that like sleeping under the covers right beside me what am i going to do. We only have a full size bed looks like we are going to have to go mattress shopping again but what do you do to keep your babies from rolling off? For now we are just putting the mattress on the floor but i don't want it to stay there forever. Or is there any advice on how to get them going back in their kennels at night? I never had to work with any of them on the kennel thing because from the first night we brought each one home they never cried a bit they loved their kennels well that is until the other night

Without reading other reponses.. you look for a european style bed, that has a mattress only.. they are lower to the floor.. you need a king size or minimum a queen, then you let them sleep with, but trained them to lay in the middle, not at your feet to be kicked off.. it can be done.. if the bed is long enough some will sleep over your head..
Now I guess you all know my furbutts sleep with us and the closer they are to us the better we feel.

good luck in what you do...

All my dogs sleep in our bed..our VERY small bed lol...I cant even fathom them falling off the bed..once they get in our bed they snuggle up to us so tightly and keep us warm..they do know when we roll over so do they and then they reposition theirselves again too...ours have slept with us since 8 weeks old and they will sleep in their crate too if we need them too for any reason..if you want them back in the crate you are going to have to listen to them cry for a couple hours but they will quickly realize that you arent going to release them for crying...its a trick they have taught YOU lol...you get a milkbone!!

We slept with Zada and Azrael starting when they were around two years old. They never cried at night though when they slept in their own beds. Of course I never shut the door on their crates either. They had the kitchen area and wee-wee pads down. Then when my husband went to Alaska for 2 months, I put them in bed with me and is where they slept till this past Dec. when Zada got the runs in our bed. That was it for me. They went back to the kitchen area until we bought the little pink home and travel bed. I put nice soft thick blankets in it and cover them over with a sheet at night. It's at the end of our bed. Now at bedtime they run to their bed and jump up and down wanting to get in it. Now we are all happy.

I have two bed hoggers here! Both Autumn and Blaze get in the bed w/us and go right under the blankets. Blaze likes to go almost to the bottom of the bed where Autumn likes to be closer to us and sleep up near my neck!

If you want it can be a Yorkie Yummy...hehe..

[katcarasella]

Sorry, can't help you either. The girls sleep with me, it they have to get up at night they just give me a little kiss on the nose. I can't sleep without them anymore, I'd toss and turn all night without them.

[neil_ali]

while ali was away at the weekend, i let chip sleep with me hehe, now that she is back, we want some alone time, but chip keeps jumping out of his draw, and trying to get up on the bed, if we ignor him, he just keeps doing it, need a bit of advice here too, i dont mind him sleeping on the bed, but ali doesnt want him peeing on it thats the only problem we have with it

[celstu1]

they won't roll off the bed, well at least my boys never did! They went in, went under and were out! I worried about rolling on top of them but you dont do that either, you just know not to... somehow in your sleep you know not do that.
However if you want to put them back in the crate, put a blanket over it and a ticking clock inside along with another blankey! They will be fine!

[maxs_momma]

Think we have decided to keep them in bed with us
