the stairs idea is ok if the yorkie doesn't accidentally fall off the bed. which milu has a couple of times when she slept too close to the edge or when i was playing with her on the bed (another bad idea!)

milu only tried to jump off of the bed once, and she squeaked when she hit the floor...poor baby

i would say if your bed is not too high off the ground. then it's safe (like if you just have the mattress on the floor ) otherwise i wouldn't do it since i think you said your yorkie is also a tiny one.

oh, plus, milu did pee on the bed when she wasn't potty trained yet. but of course that's again my fault for letting her on the bed in the first place.

I've had a very similar experience to this. I have to protect Wenny from my boyfriend sometimes because I'm afraid he's going to crush her. I'll have to try that kung-fu kick on him sometime

When she was first allowed on the bed, she would try to jump off. One time she did, and the sound of her hitting the hardwood floor was not pleasant. I panicked, but she was ok. She pretty much knows now not to jump off, but it still makes me nervous.

Also, she did start to pee on the bed once but I was there and caught her before there was a puddle on the bed.

Pepper is small, probably around 3.5 lbs. I have started letting him sleep in my bed. I put his napsack (made by Chattiesmom) in the bed and put him in there. He stays in it all nite until he gets up and wakes me up. He doesn't jump off the bed and has never fallen off the bed.

That' one reason why I never put Daizy between me and my hubby!! I always have her on the other side of me...she snuggles right in and goes right to sleep. If your worried about her falling off the bed..you could always put a pillow on the other side of her.

I can't imagine not sleeping with my baby girl!! And I'm soooo looking forward to Tulips arrival! Although she is very small......so I'll have to figure out a safe way for her to sleep with us. I think when Daizy was very little I used a tiny round bed...and let her sleep in that beside me for awhile..until she got bigger.
