Sleeping in bed with furbaby? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mommaofmia · 02-24-2009, 07:56 AM

I went from a very high queen bed to a lower King.... bought this just for my baby to be able to get in our bed...

I call that spoiled, but the new bed is soooo comfy and she has her own space. It is sooo nice.

I bought a carpeted ramp on Ebay for Lily and it works great on my bed for her. If you are interested pm me and I will look up where I got it for you.

Just to let u guys know.. they have these GREAT puppy steps at petco. They are a little pricy, but they are wooden steps that actually have little drawers in them to put your doggy's favorite toys! Has anyone else seen these steps? I've been waiting for them to go on sale- they are about 60 bucks

Oh my, i wish i could convince hubby into a new & bigger bed, but i know getting one on the dogs behalf would not fly with him.

He's still getting used to the idea shes here

Hubby loves Mia almost as much as I do and he didn't want to get the bed just because of her, but now that he has it, he loves it too... No more hearing me say "scoot over, she needs her sapce"...

He's still warming up to her

I can just visualize pushing him off the bed for her

I nearly push him off myself! Might be a good reason to upgrade once i get her up in bed with us

Great idea! I have needed doggie stairs for awhile now but didnt want to spend the $$ right now...I have an ottoman sitting in my den(in my way) that will work perfectly!! (and matches my bedspread too!) Thanks!

We have Cheap stairs we bought at Walgreens, but hey do the trick in my home. Yes I have to have my babies in bed with me at night. Pablo since his littermates left. They all have their spots

I found the 3 step set at Bed, Bath, Beyond for $10. They have aa sheepskin like cover that is washable. My Pete can't jump up on the couch and it got to be a major pain to pick him up each time.

Ohhh thats a really good idea!! We kiddo step stools, i was gonna use one of those will pillows stacked next to it (imma pillow queen, haha). But that sounds even better!

charlie has never been in our bed. He is allowed in the room but not on the bed b/c the husband say no pets on the bed.

charlie loves to sit on my lap..sometimes he will fall asleep on my lap. He is so wonderful.

So ill stack the pillows and we'll see tonight

When mine were younger, my husband built a ramp, and I just put a long blanket on it for tracktion. But now that my babies are bigger...(6 pounds) we use two ottomans, one is a bit larger than the other so they work like stairs. The ramp worked well for a long time!

Brookef18 · 02-24-2009, 03:55 PM

Here's a pic of the ramp!
