patti and holly

Welcome to YT... A couple years ago we went to the Smokies and went through your town and it's absolutely beautiful.... Coming again this summer and I can't wait.. Sorry off the subject, but I seen where you were from and had to welcome you....

Piper use to be a head sleeper too. Now he lays right next to my tummy I lay on my side. If he gets cold he crawls under the blanket, and then puts his head on my pillow. Nothing like waking up to a dog snoring in your face.

Mom2TwoYorkies · 01-23-2009, 11:17 AM

Our babies sleep with us and they both end up on either side of my husband because apparently he's the warmest . . .

Actually, Rhianna starts out under the covers and works her way upwards and then wedges herself between me and hubby, and Brody just lays on the otherside of the bed and only goes under the covers if he is chilly.

Dara311 · 01-23-2009, 12:12 PM

Fiona usually sleeps right above my head on the pillow, and will lay her head on my shoulder, or she will move down in between my legs or my boyfriends legs.

MeatBall · 01-23-2009, 12:34 PM

We have a whole nightly ritual that has to take place or the whole nites sleep is shot.

Usually at bedtime I am wearing my comfy lounge pants w a tank top and a sweatshirt over the top. So when I get into bed, everybody waits at the edge of the bed for me to take my socks off. Once the socks make thier crash landing into the laundry basket they all jump up on the bed. Preslee will go lay somewhere in the middle by the foot end of the bed under her blanket. Yes, she has a blanket on the bed just for her to sleep under. Then Tater will stand by my feet and wait for me to take off my sweatshirt which I throw down at my feet. He then burrows in that and gets all comfy. All this time Meatball is standing on the other side of the bed (sometimes on my BF when he is there). I get all snuggled in and then Meaty will come cozy in under my arm and half on my chest. Ever since she was old enough to be away from her mom she has been sleeping with me. She likes to lay her head on my chest. I think its that she likes to listen to my heart beat.

I sleep very very soundly and never move once im asleep.

JPop & Taz 2 · 01-23-2009, 01:38 PM

Well, our 5

allow us a small portion of the bed. Guess we all have out nitetime rituals.

JPop sleeps between us under his blanket. Taz starts out at my feet under his blanket. Halo digs and digs between our pillows till her little nest is to her liking. TJ is either over my head or snuggled to my neck and back, and Deuce cuddles up to my chest. After we've been in bed about an hour or so, everyone, except JPop (he stays put) crawls under the cover and snuggle next to Mommy; and poor Mommy is stuck for the night! Can't move, I might wake the little darlins!

the hardest part about getting over an injury is not getting to share my bed with my lil man

mscat · 01-23-2009, 02:08 PM

Suzi is always on my bed at night! She has my routine down pact. Sometimes, Suzi is on the bed before me, right in the middle of the covers. Little stinker. She has a habit of getting up and moving around during the night. To my feet, to the side of me, to the pillow .... Then she finally settles down, and then jumps off the bed to find a toy.. Little darling is busy in the night... However, every morning she is always back on my bed, waiting for me to wake up, then attacks me with kissess all over my face. She is sooo silly

Ash The Great · 01-23-2009, 02:20 PM

Ash would first get on top of my chest and scratch & pound for a few minutes ( to try to get me up to play with him ) then he would give up.
When he is ready to sleep he will either sleep between my legs by my feet or he would go to "his spot" to the left of my pillow.
He usually licks my neck and head nonstop until he decides to sleep ( it gets annoying )

Now and then I'll find him taking up the whole bed with me hanging to the side.. if I'm too sleepy I'll let him get away with it but if I really want my bed back I'll lift him up and put him back in "his spot"

In the morning he would wake me up with more licks on my neck and head.

AVERYxo · 01-23-2009, 02:41 PM

it's funny, hearing all the bedtime stories.... these babies are SO silly!!

we have our nightly "routine", as well! the girls always have to say their goodnights, & do their silly lil things they do, before we go to sleep..

Avery, sleeps in between Tim & I... she changes spots throughout the night.. usually in the crevice of our legs! she will also go down to one of her beds, in our room, as well(which is in the corner & almost like a lil cave for her-she loves it there!).. but she always ends up back on the bed-some nights she won't even go down to her lil bed...it just depends on her mood!

she usually will lay on our legs or put her lil head on us too! & then when daddy leaves for work in the morning, she takes over his spot(sleeps on his pillow, just like a human

) & cuddles with mama & gemmie gem!!

Gemma starts the night out at our heads.. she sleeps on Tim's pillow right above his shoulder & by morning she is usually cuddled up, RIGHT next to my neck, head, back, FACE

... and i mean RIGHT next to me, pretty much on top!

haha.

Also, both girls LOVE their blankies... Avie likes to use them as covers, but mostly as a pillow! Gemma loves to be snuggled under the covers, that girl would sleep under the whole comforter(head & all), if i let her!!

one more thing to add, Avie has her monkey, that she sleeps with.. it is her baby.. she loves that thing!! & Gemma has her lil bear.

bacci315 · 01-23-2009, 03:36 PM

Bacci does the same exact thing!!!!

wishies · 01-23-2009, 03:37 PM

aww!

riley will usually start out on top of the covers between chris & i and then move around until he gets comfortable then falls asleep. some nights he falls asleep with his hedgehog in his mouth or whatever toy he brings up on the bed. then during the middle of the night he digs at the cover because he wants to come under so i have to make a little hole for him to go under & he sleeps by my legs. some nights i hear barking under the blanket but its just him having puppy dreams lol!

speaking of sleepy time.. madison is taking a nap right now next to us and did a little squeeky bark in her sleep just as i was typing lol

she usually sleeps in her bed with her fleece blankie because she can't get up and down on the bed yet to use her potty pad. some nights we let her sleep with us and she sleeps with her head resting on my neck or between chris & i then she'll move down to the bottom of the bed on top of the blankets. she'll probably end up sleeping under the covers with riley soon

enge55 · 01-23-2009, 03:53 PM

Mine is still not potty trained and also likes to take flying leaps off the bed so she sleeps in her crate but I put the crate on the bed next to me.

C101Yorkie · 01-23-2009, 04:16 PM

Sapphire doesn't sleep with me anymore (due to my dialysis machine), but before she would sleep right next to me. I would be on my side and she would be RIGHT up against my back. With her head on the pillow, just like a human.

It was the cutest thing! My mom got a few pictures.

lilylovesphoebe · 01-23-2009, 04:47 PM
