For those of you with two, a bed question - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ziggy and Beau each have their own beds and own crates. They do share a bed unless they are mad at each other, lol.

My two little men each have their own x-pen. However, they sleep with us every night. We do crate them when we are gone on errands and the oldest, Cosmo (just turned 1)likes his own "house" to himself. I think his little brother, JJ (5 months) is too rowdy

They are both neutered now so maybe that will change. JJ is in recovery

I have six yorkies, seven beds. They all pile up in two of them or the floor.

Want to see a pic of that. All this talk of Yorkies sleeping together makes me want another. Bad idea. Too many doggie medical expenses coming up. When I'm not home Snowboy, Chipper and Cocoa all have their own ex-pens. Rosie is free to roam around. Don't trust Snowboy to not be too rough on Chipper. Over 3 lbs difference, and Snowboy is not even a year yet. Hasn't learned all his manners. At night they all sleep with us in (lucky me) a king size bed.

Holly and Gracie seem so happy sharing an ex-pen. I put two crates in there, but caught them snuggling in one the other day.

I have two, and I'm still working on potty training with one, so at night, they both stay in the same wire crate. It is small, but a good size for the both of them. It gives them both company and they keep each other nice and warm.

We have three dog beds-2 dogs-Bubba will not sleep in either bed-perfers to hump one (neutered)bed after dinner. We have 1 large crate but we just use to for Sissy to eat in, as Bubba will eat hers if we don't. During the day they usually sleep on the couch but at night both sleep with us, alternating places from the top to the bottom. Sissy usually drags her blanket from place to place on the bed

We bought a king size bed because our dogs were crowding us! Now that's pitiful!

tumismom · 03-28-2008, 06:42 AM

they sleep in the sep crates at night but for lounging around during the day, the just snuggle up in one bed. i have 2 beds but they are always together.

My two share a crate and are in it only when I'm gone. They don't do much cuddling outside the crate and I always wonder if they cuddle when home alone.

celstu1 · 03-28-2008, 08:15 AM

My boys share... I think they would be devastated if they were seperated! They share everything actually, food & water bowls, toys.... everything! And this is by their choice, not mine!

Tiger's Mom · 03-28-2008, 08:22 AM

mine hang out on their own crates when I am at work.

fufufashions · 03-28-2008, 08:33 AM

We have the pet gear soft crates. Each of my 4 have their own private little bedroom and they rearrance their blankets and build their own nests every night. During the day, they will snuggle together in their little chairs/beds but at night they have to have their privacy

They are all lined up beside the bed and they know their own bedroom and they all get zipped up at night and out in the morning.

Jaya and Jenna · 03-28-2008, 11:30 AM

when we got jenna, we had to use two xpens and have them live totally seperately because Jaya was being very mean!

Three months later, I have put the two xpens together and gotten a bigger bed, and they share everything.... and they love eachother.
However, the days that they are really grouchy and fighting with eachother (1. i know they havnt gotten enuff excercise that day, and 2. i seperate them for the day)

ive found that that works.

(though, right now im considering getting an even bigger bed for them because Jenna is a bed hog and my poor jaya ends up curled up hanging off the bed, or curled up beside the bed while jenna is sprawled out (eh...typical baby behavior lol)

hope that helps!

When we go out , the Yorkies go into their pen with a big soft bed to curl up on and a blanket that gets rearrange constantly , the Cocker goes in her room ... at night they all have separate kennels , the Yorkies in our room ( or they both whine ! ) and the Cocker in her room . During the day , all 3 usually are cuddled on one bed in the front room ( which this winter was in front of the gas fireplace that was usually on ! ) When we are in the MH all 3 dogs usually end up sleeping with us ( the Yorkies cuddled under the blankets and the cocker at the foot of the bed ! ) though they do start out in their kennels .
