Sleeping w/your Yorkie - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Funny you should mention that subject. Tucker is seven months, and has slept with us for several of those months. Just last night, though, he fell off the bed. We have a king sized bed, and for some reason when we go to bed at night, he thinks it's play time. We also have a 20 yr old cat that he loves, and wants to play with all of the time. She was in bed with us last night, and he was scampering around trying to play with her when he fell off. He has no peripheral visiion right now because of a brace that goes from the top of his head, around his face and legs and down to his back. He has Atlantoaxial instability, and will probably be having surgery next week at the University of Tn Vet school. They will determine whether or not he's ready for it. So you know how freaked I was when he fell off the bed. Thank God for the brace. I hope he learned his lesson. It really surprised him when he ended up on the floor. I will definitely be watching more closely from now on.

Considering the depth of yorkie love here, I'm honestly surprised that most of us don't sleep on futons!

Your post really made me laugh, as I have a very pretty bed frame w/headboard and footboard, and I'm seriously considering taking my bed off the frame, so the bed will be lower to the ground lol...I still haven't made the plunge to let Apple sleep w/me, but I want her to so much! She's not quite 7 months, so she's not making it the whole night w/o a wiz, but I bet the first night she does, off comes the bed onto the floor! I'm so glad I posted this thread, as I've read every single post, and have gotten so much good and enjoyable information...I'll keep you posted, when I off-load the bed to the floor lolol....
