Sleeping w/your Yorkie - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

emma sleeps with me sometimes...if she is really tired out and gives me that sad look when I try to take her off the bed. I'm a softie! I don't like her sleeping there if she's not too tired because I am a heavy sleeper and she thinks she can jump off the bed by herself. When she's really sleepy she builds herself a fort out of my pillows and sleeps in there

Bailey sleeps with us and she is only just over 4 months and weighs just over 4 pds now...the end of my bed is a huge set of stairs just for her and just goes on and off the bed through the night to use her pee pad and she is fine....she never tries to jump from the sides she knows better....and we have a night light for her int eh kitchen so when she does her business she doesnt miss...lol good luck with everything... also my baby sleeps right on my pillow with me so i know were she is at all time (i put a bell around her collor for when she gets up).

And it's not them that run the risk of falling out of bed, it's me.

Basically they sleep between my DH and I so they aren't near the beds edge. I've woke up many times to find I've got one of my feet supporting me on the floor so that I don't fall out. It is amazing how much room a 4 lb Yorkie thinks she needs to sleep.

They can curl up into the tiniest little balls during the day to nap, but come night time they apparently have to stretch out full length crosswise on the bed. If we could get them to sleep in the same direction as we do it would be a lot more comfortable.

LOL that is so true. Uni always seems to be stretched out fully, stealing my pillow, my blanket, anywhere I am. She always takes up the while bed, and I have a Cal King! Once my bf said he was in bed with Uni (I was already dead asleep) got up to turn off the light, and heard a "thump!", he turned back on the light and there was Uni on the carpet! She fell off trying to follow him! This was went she was about 6 months. She was fine. Other than that she's never fallen off. She usually is in the center of the bed.

What we do for our babies.

No one else would ever understand.

JesseFairin · 05-20-2009, 08:39 AM

Both Jesse, the 5 lb.yorkie & Joe, 70 lb. boxer sleep at the foot of our king size bed. She has never fallen off & she's been sleeping with us since she was 9 weeks old & less than 3 lbs.

Midfielder · 05-20-2009, 09:39 AM

Annie Grace has slept with us since we got her. She's sixteen months and about 6 pounds so I guess that helps. She jumps in bed at night and plays for about 1/2 hour whether we want to or not. Then she goes to sleep between us about waist level and sleeps till about 7:00 AM then it's playtime again and you better be awake or you'll get your face licked off! She's a joy.

Thor is 4 lbs and sleeps in my bed. I do remember waking up one night to a little squeal and the sensation of a yorkie crawling out from under me, and once I woke up to find him on the floor. He's always been fine though. He does not like to jump off the bed, so once he's in the bed, he stays. He is sleeping in today.

Cutie_Emmy · 05-20-2009, 10:15 AM

Its not falling that I worried about, I was always worried I'd roll over and squish Emmett... but that didn't happen. Emmett has always been safe on the bed. When he gets in he cuddles up to me and never leaves.

dagibbie · 05-20-2009, 10:57 AM

General Lee has slept with us since we brought him home at 6 weeks. I had a play pen with a potty pad and because I am a very light sleeper every time he moved I woke up and put him in the play pen. When he realized that he had to use the potty pad to get back in bed with us he never had an accident in bed. My DH is a large man and at first I kept GL on the side away from him. After a while I found out that if my DH starts to move in his sleep, GL gets up and moves somewhere else under the covers. He gets down to use potty pads in the bedroom now, but not every night. During the winter he will burrow right away, now he will sleep for a bit on top of the covers, but always ends up burrow between my DH and I.

acl1209 · 05-20-2009, 11:03 AM

Chloe is 4 1/2 months, and she sleeps with us just fine. She won't sleep unless she is between hubby and me, so falling off the bed is not an issue for us. They do make small stairs that you can put beside your bed for them to climb down. Most dogs learn this very easily, and I don't think they're very expensive.

yorkie mad · 05-20-2009, 11:06 AM

I would love Tia to sleep with us but it is me ,

Im such a fidget in bed so we have our morning cuddles in bed instead.

NamZab84 · 05-20-2009, 11:19 AM

Fifi has to sleep with us everynight

She's very attach to her daddy and sleeps next to him against his back or between his legs

We bring her off the bed when we get up bec she's a sleepy head and never wants to get up

If you don't put her on the bed she barks and whines until you put her up

I love sleeping with my beautiful baby!!!

She started sleeping with us the first night we got her and I don't think she'll ever stop

JenniLeigh · 05-20-2009, 11:27 AM

We have ramps and stairs everywhere for Kaia. She's almost 17 weeks and has to sleep close to either my boyfriend or myself. If one of us moves a little, sure enough, Kaia will reattach herself to our side!

mscat · 05-20-2009, 11:28 AM

These are always one of my favorite threads

My Suzi has been sleeping in my bed since she was a little puppy too. However, I waited until she was able to safely jump on and off the bed herself. I think it was at 4lbs she was able to do so!
Early this am, Suzi took control of the entire comforter, she laid herslf down right in the middle.

I had a little bit of a sheet , and it was warm enough . I know why Suzi loves my bed

Crittermama · 05-20-2009, 12:04 PM

My 11-month-old baby is a 7 pounder and he seems to think that we have bunk beds -- with me being the bottom bunk. When he's ready to nap or sack out for the night, he always wants to sleep on someone's lap, chest or stomach.

Many times I wake up in the morning with him draped across my neck like a fur stole. Makes it easier when he wants to lick or nip my nose to tell me it's time to go out again.
