my boyfriend and i kinda have a compromise....while i would love Bailee to sleep with me all nite, I wouldnt sleep worrying about her falling or him rolling over on her so after the 6 am potty break she gets in the bed wiht us until 8 or 10,depending on the class schedule for the day....but if the boyfriend isnt her, she sleeps with me all nite. she stretches out on his side and I have my side

its not so much about me being alpha dog becuz I am (she doesnt get in the bed if she doesnt potty first) i just like the companionship.shes such a snuggler and I love it.she still knos whos boss tho lol...oh and the db and I went bed shopping this weekend and of course we took in mind if it was gonna be too high for Bailee...what can i say i gues where suckers too!!! i love it tho!

I have a very comfy chair that is smack-day against my bed. It's low enough for Kalina to jump from the floor to the chair and from the chair to the bed. She sometimes sleeps on the chair (mostly) and sometimes on the bed. Matilda can't quite jump to the chair, so she has to be lifted up - she sleeps in bed right between me and DH. I just like having them near me at night. I'm obsessed too.

Awww, I'm so glad little Ralphie is okay! Sounds like just a fluke that happened for some reason. Even so, good for you for cutting down your bed (lol) - it'll be safer for the little stinker.

Our Wylie can get up and down fine, but we have those stairs from Walgreens for Marcel and that's what he uses for our bed.

You are such a good Mama!

Just wanted to make a note on those stairs eveyone is using ..a great idea..
but some little stinkers do not use them all the time and end up jumping and falling and with injury..just last week this happened to little Minnie and the poor little baby did not make it...so sad it can be the outcome of a fall for these little ones
our motto is : BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY !

Exactly

It is not really an alpha dog issue for us. I just like snuggling with the little guy. And in the morning when I wake up is a very special time for us, ha ha. He has to get his "lovins" from me and I just love it

It is nice having him in the bed.

And let me know what bed you end up getting, I might have to get the same one,

Aww, thank you

!! I think it was a fluke too because it has NEVER happened before and he always sleeps in between us, usually under the covers (how he can stand that I will never know, I would think it would be way too hot

). But, since it has happened, I just can't relax and there is no going back now. It is the best thing to do really, even though the bed won't be as "grand" it is definitely worth it. And if that makes me crazy...so be it

And yes, I definitely have to go get some stairs.

Samson used to sleep in his bed (in his kennel) and wake up anywhere between 12:30 and 3:30. I would get up, take him out to potty, and bring him in the bed with me and my husband. That got old fast! He now comes to bed with me and sleeps between Mike & I under the covers. During the night I check on him to see where he is too! He eventually comes out and by morning is on top the comforter still between us. Then he comes back under and snuggles with me! Eventually he stands up and is like "let's go, I gotta pee!"

That is why I do not want to buy a bed and we are sleeping on a mattress put right on the carpet. We didn't even get a box spring so that Pao can get up and down easily. Even with stairs, I know he might not use it because that is him

. Our old bed that is pretty high, we have moved it to the guest room but he didn't sleep with us back then. My hubby always say to me, "I know why you don't want to buy a bed. Coz you want the little stinker to be in the bed with us"...heheheh he is right but I aren't telling him so
