| We have the same problem here. Our sleigh bed is very high .. well past my waist. We don't let the dogs sleep with us. I'm afraid Chloe would fall off and hit the wood floor and at just over 2 lbs. I am afraid of what may happen. My dh wont get a low bed though he loves our bed

| I can understand you wanting to do that for Ralphie. ( Love that name. ) Here's a suggestion. Maybe you could get a set of bed rails. The kind that people get for their toddlers when they go into a "big boy or girl" bed. That way if Ralphie rolls, he will hit the bed rail and not fall out. Good Luck with whatever you decide.

And that is a VERY good suggestion! I wonder if I can find them big enough for a King ?(the bed...not Ralphie, although he certainly thinks he is King ) Thank you so much for the help!

| Since toddler beds are relatively smaller than regular beds perhaps you could use 2 on each side. I know how you feel about your babies. I have 4 skin kids that I would do anything to keep safe. I have 3 fur babies that I would do anything to keep safe. Call me Crazy that's fine. COCO PEBBLES TRIXIE Maybe you could just put body pillows on the floor so if she does fall she would have a soft landing |

| No, but, my dogs have destroyed my leather sectional. Lucky for me, all of mine sleep in their beds in the family room. Now, the little one, I've been having a heck of a time with at night, long story, but, i said something about her sleeping with us(just kidding by the way) and hubby said, that aint happening. I don't want a dog peeing on me in my sleep, or falling off the bed, etc. LOL Glad your baby is okay.. |

| thats so sweet of you for doing that, Ralphie is so lucky and I bet he knows that. We have a platform bed (changed from a box spring due to the same reason as yours LOL), and carpet in the bedroom, and we bought dolly stairs to walk up and down. and Im a light sleeper, whenever she moves a bit, I will wake up. thank god she is a little pig and usually sleeps through the night. but lately I got kinda concerned because when she is in a hurry to go somewhere, she will jump off instead of walking down the stairs, I put her in time out a few times when she did that to teach her a lesson!

| I was more afraid of us rolling over on Kayla than her falling off the bed. We have a sleep number bed which is not all that high but we have tried the steps and she will not use them. Now she has gained weight and can't jump on the bed. She barks to be lifted up on it and finally has started sleeping in her bed next to us. We have had the high beds and changed 2or 3 times. Even when our bed was lower one of my schnauzers fell off when she was little and broke her little back leg. So, even if its low they can still get hurt from the way the hit the floor. Scares you death, but, I guess we are some of the crazys too because we would do just about anything for them. I hate that we now have a little porkie yorkie but I'm kinda glad she is sleeping in her bed. |

| OMG this is the funiest thing ever. Mia fell off the bed once too. I was horrified. after that I keep waking up to make sure she is not at the edge of the bed. It was a battle. I didn't sleep that night and Mia either. I kept waking up to put her in the middle of the bed and in no time she would be at the edge too. Finally I put her on the floor on her bed and she just left and slept the rest of the night in my fathers room. Can you believe she left me for the night. I was amazed. I'm really trying to get her to sleep in her bed but is soooo hard. Someone always gives in. |
