And I am also happy that mommadog has adopted and had foster children but that doesn't make my experience with my 4 children and my 4 babies a mute pont.
I just didn't think thast natnat could watch out for these problems with the crate on the bed. She has no experience with this kind of stuff as a breeder would. This is why I thought it would be safer for the pup to be on the floor or on a table next to the bed. As I would hate to read a post that said, "Help my baby fell off the bed"
Not arguing just sticking to my point is all

I know you aren't and what you said was fine. I personally couldn't have a carrier OR crate on my bed.....even with my windy post - I would worry about a crate tipping etc....only cause I stomped in here with a long reply I wanted to tell you - I'm seeing BOTH your points - if someone isn't a very very light sleeper a puppy can easily fall off a bed....especially at the age of her puppy.

(Lord....coffee gets me chatty in the morning) I should be fixing my big monitor for my 'work' - I have label orders to do and am having trouble seeing what I do on this tiny laptop monitor)

Your too funny. I'm just waiting for the rest of the clan to wake up. I am remodeling my kitchen and we have work to to here. I think this is why they are all still sleeping

Sneaking out and ringing your own doorbell would fix that problem if your house is like mine - your yorkie(s) would be yipping their fool heads off loud enough to wake up everyone

That's a great idea My babies bark if they see a leaf blowing!!

yup - works like a charm - I admit to being sneaky and using that ploy on my son (to get him up for work) ....I knew there was no way he'd say 'ok, I'm up mom' then roll over and fall back asleep making ME the bad guy bugging him

2 hysterical yorkies barking at the doorbell is a bit too hard to ignore

I say hysterical cause that's about how mine are when the doorbell rings - it's pretty ridiculous

Well ladies, I'm sorry to say that you're evil plans would never work with me. Kaji would just stare at the door until I get up to check it out. He might get up and sniff the door but that would be it for his "investigation" of what's going on outside.

Seriously ? Can you send him here to teach mine that the doorbell is no reason to lose your mind ?

Hmm yeah V, how are my labels coming along?

I have a few questions about DJ's vet visit that I do not think have been answered.

1. You said that the vet gave him a clean bill of health. What type of tests did your vet do? Did he get any vaccinations? Did they do a fecal?

2. They sold you a tooth brush? At 6 weeks does he even have teeth to brush? What are you using to brush his teeth?

3. Did the vet confirm that he was only 6 weeks old? Is the picture in your avatar DJ since that puppy looks a little older than the 6 weeks.

As for the advice that you have been given~you said in past threads that you blocked but some of the very best advice that you were given came from VERY experienced breeder/members of YT. I surely hope that you are able to read, learn and take their advice for DJ's well being. If I were in your shoes I would not only be posting my questions on the open forum but PMing them for any and all additional advice they would be willing to offer you now that you have him home.

Great questions! Hopefully, these will get answered.

But you were the one who asked if I would also put an infant in a carrier (means dog carrier the way you said it) on my bed. That to me was ridiculous.

I have owned dogs all my life, been a reputable, good breeder for over 25 years and raised lots of puppies and retrained rescues.

I have also been a mother for 21 years raising an adopted son and many foster children and babies and I have NEVER had a dog, pup, or human baby fall off of my bed when sleeping with me.. Nor have I ever rolled onto a baby or dog/puppy in my bed.

This is WHY I feel my opinion counts, because I also have experience.

And I don't appreciate being called foolish! At least i have been respectful to you and others I disagree with.

And don't be ridiculous I wasn't implying that a "human" baby would go into a dog crate. But it would be just as foolish in my opinion to put the baby on the bed in ANY carrier, because it could get hurt.

May I interject something...jmdt did not call you foolish. She stated that the act of putting a baby on the bed in any type of carrier was foolish, not you.
NatNatt posted on anothet thread that she got it all worked out , and actually had a good night sleep.

Thank you, Princes Mom, for letting us know about the other thread. I was wondering what had happened last night and didn't realize that she had started another thread. I assumed she would update back on this thread.

I hope she comes back and let's us know what the vet said. I'm curious.

[deeogie]

It's kinda funny...I was wondering the same thing.....Do DJ even have teeth yet to be brushed??!! Also, if I was that vet I would have a few concerns about how someone soooo inexperienced come to aquire a puppy from sooo far away soooo young??!! Just wonderin'.......lol

This is a western belief. On the other side if the globe family sleeping is the norm, it is considered essential. Here in North America, we for some strange reason feel it perfectly ok to carry an infant in our belly's for 9 months then tear them from us and stick them in a room down the hall.
