Has this happened to you? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Lucky has been sleeping with me for 7 months. Every since I have had him. He was always such a snuggle bug. Well, the last couple of weeks he has started sleeping under my bed. There is a heat register there and he sleeps right in front of it. I miss him sleeping with me so much. I try everything to get him in the bed but he just goes right back under the bed everytime. Has this happened to anyone else?

it hasn't happened to me but of course my baby now sleeps in his own bed. There must be something he likes about that spot. Maybe you should put him a little bed there. I know you like him sleeping with you but maybe he is comfortable there. I do know my baby loves the wind to blow in his face when we drive down the road. I mean he is crazy about it. Maybe you could try closing the vent and he will revert back to the bed.
Good Luck.

Lol.. If I close the vent we would freeze. I know he likes the heat under there. I have a ruffle on the bed and he holds the heat in under there. I put him a little bed under there last night. I figure if you can't beat them just join them. lol...

LOL.. you might freeze but at least your baby would be bad in the bed with you..hehe.. But I agree the little bed is a good idea and gives you baby some independence.

My buddy decided after 1 1/2 yrs that he would prefer sleeping with my 18yr daughter, Kelcy.....He even now waits up for her when she is out late! Stinker....Kelcy thinks it is hilarious! me?... not so much!

Bhikku · 12-10-2008, 08:24 AM

I have a similar cuddling situation. Ollie used to like to curl up on me while we're hanging out on the couch, but now that he's discovered the back of the couch, that's where he likes to hang out when he's just sitting/laying down. He'll put up with a minute or two of cuddling, then hops back up there.

Whatever though. It is really cute to see him curled up there like a cat.

sugarbritches · 12-10-2008, 08:27 AM

maybe a heating blanket on your bed

I know my animals love mine LOL they all seem to flock to it when i turn it on.

Beckyrw · 12-10-2008, 08:50 AM

Yea, independent little things! Samson sleeps with me, but Ezekiel has now decided he prefers the floor! He cuddled at first, then done. They will both get on the chair with me, for a time, then down, laying elsewhere. I try and tell them the reason they're here is to cuddle and be with me at All times. They just look at me like I'm an idiot. Obviously they have no fear of ever being rehomed over this and do as they please!

I accept and concer to their wills, as they are adorable.

pinkpixiepuff · 12-10-2008, 09:03 AM

Certainly has! All my dogs used to sleep on my bed but now they ALL sleep in my mums!

I think it's because I work full time now and have crazy shift patterns. I done everything to convince them back , but they have none of it

ahhhh! you know, FIoina did the complete opposite of your little one. When we first got her, she was very independant, to the point where she would give you loves for about 2 min , and then be in a hiding spot. now with her getting older, and really getting to know me and my boyfriend she is a complete love bug!!!!! maybe he is just going through a stage!? i'm sure he will come around!!!????

Sometimes i wish Molly would sleep somewhere else other than on my bed!! I toss and turn a lot and when she gets fed up with it, she growls at me, and that wakes me up, so another broken nights sleep!!

zoeybear · 12-10-2008, 10:50 AM

Mine always abandon me during the summer. I guess they don't want my body heat.

If my dog slept with me and ever growled at me, his fuzzy butt would be in a crate, stat.

Joking aside, I would watch this if I were you. It might turn into a dominance issue...

Roxie loves to cuddle and be all lovey but when hubby comes to bed she sleeps on his pillow at the top of his head. I wake up in the night all of the time looking to see where she is. She moves about quite a bit from his pillow to under the covers or between us on top of the covers. I guess where ever she's most comfy! I was really shocked to learn that she chewed my heating blanket cord in half. She never chews anything anymore and I can't believe she didn't get shocked. It was turned off but still plugged in. Hubby said it was probably far enough away from the controlls (where it plugs into the blanket) and that's why she didn't get shocked. I was more shocked that she chewed the darn thing in half!! Here I've always been careful about keeping any kind of charger cord put up and she could have always chewed cords that come from T.V.'s or lamps and never has.

My fletcher went through a phase over the summer where instead of cuddling on the couch with me at night he'd go in the kitchen and lay in his own bed. It made me sooo sad to see him over there in the dark kitchen alone, but no matter what I did he would come to me or stay with me if I physically brought him over. So I had to let it go. My Dexter decided to sleep with my bfs son a couple weeks ago. I checked on him about 5x and he just looked at me but didnt move so I had to leave him there. It was heartbreaking. I felt nekkid without him in bed. I left the doors open and at 430am I woke up and he was back with me!

BF was happy to have him out of the bed for a night! LOL
