Does your Yorkie baby sleep with you?

[katienme2002]

Roxie sleeps in her crate with her own blanket. Once my husband starts working nights or is out of town, I might let her sneak in there..lol..

Mabel sleeps in the bed with me for sure! My hubby goes to work at 3 am so he goes to bet at 6 pm... He sleeps in the other bedroom so i've got the whole king bed to myself! Except for 6lb Mabel that is!! We've been married 25 years and for 15 of those years we slept in the same bed...which was torture for both of us...His snoring, my all night television viewing(I'm a night person so of course he is a day person!!! Well, we do still meet up! The other night i called him on his cell phone from down the hall and invited him to "visit" He was in there like a shot!(I guess i've still got it!LOL!!) Then he went back to his room. I have to admit sleeping alone is very luxurious! Mabel is a better bedmate anyway...she watches all night tv with me!

My two sleep in bed with us every night and have since they both arrived. I am far too attached to them to make them sleep in a crate

Good thing I sleep alone and a king size bed. No room for anyone else....LOL

Mine are a lot like that.
My shih tzu (Also a Cassie) is the only one that doesn't like to sleep on the bed. I think she is getting old and a little grouchy with the fat boy. She chooses to sleep in a bed on the floor most nights but sometimes I wake up and she is at the foot of the bed.

Gracie is ALWAYS under the covers and curled up by my belly. Skeeter is ALWAYS in the crook of my knees cuddled up to one of his stuffed toys and Adie may end up anywhere but she most often likes to curl up in a little ball under my chin and sometimes stretched out full length along my back.

How DO we get out of bed to go to the bathroom?

BTW, I do not need an alarm clock...I have a 6.6 lb furball who licks my face when she decides i need to get up!!

[lovmyyorkie]

Something I have notice about the last 3 new yorkies is that we have gone threw this with each one of them barking at any little sound even if we don't hear it or we are use to them and just don't notice them.

Like the chirp of a little bird would start Duncan barking at 6 or 7 am on weekends witch would scary the heck out of me ....lol

Then I had to go threw all that 2 more times and they are all different.
Duncan slept all night but was an early morning dog.

Keanu would every time wake up when I get up in the middle of the night and bark at me when I come back to bed. ...lol

Bear would be the AM false alarm dog, he would bark anytime in middle of the night for who knows what reason. He bark so much he started to spook me ....lol

It takes a while for them to adjust but this will pass, just give them security and one good shooooooosh!

Best of Luck,

Thanks for these posts! I love them! So much cuddling going on behind closed doors! LOL I wish Zoe were potty trained so she could sleep with me....I am so jealous!! Please keep these great posts coming!!

Rocks sleeps in his bed @ the end of our bed, does that count as him sleeping in our bed?

[J_is_my_initial]

I have had dogs in my bed since we got Gypsy. That was a point I made with hubby when we talked about getting a small dog. Gypsy sleeps in the middle between us. The chi at the bottom of the bed under the covers. And the boston terrier usu curled up next to me with her head on my neck. I heard the alpha is the one with the head at the highest point. In our house, when Puff (chi) is in her place, Sophie will not go up or down the ramp or even off the bed unless we pick up Puff and get her out of the way. She has a mean sounding grr even though she is a scaredy cat with anyone else. Puff def rules the bed among the furbabies.

Asher does sleep on the bed with my bf and I, but he likes to stay at the foot of it. He has this weird scratching habit he does before he falls asleep, like he's trying to dig through the comforter. He also moves from one side to the other frequently. When we wake up in the morning, he's asleep flat on his back. We wonder how he even finds time to get that comfortable

From what I've gathered, this is, definitely, a Yorkie trait...Mine can't settle down, 'till they've scratched, circled, scratched, circled, and scratched, one more time, and one more circle lol...then they plop down, and are out for the count...For the person who mentioned not needing an alarm clock...I, totally, understand...Apple is my alarm clock, and she goes off anywhere from 4:30-6:30...And, no matter what time it is, Buzz looks up like "oh man, do we really have to get up now" lol...He'd sleep 'till noon, I'm sure of it...No chance w/Applekins...

[christiers]

On the weekends I will let all 3 of them in the bed. Belle (the non-yorkie) can take it or leave it when it comes to sleeping with us. Depends on her mood. Pickles, well she likes to chew on things she shouldn't so she is back to sleeping in her crate...so on the weekends when it doesn't matter if she wakes me multiple times throughout the night. Coco....she loves sleeping with us, but more so with me. It takes her some time to get settled if hubby is in bed, but when it is just she and I...we both sleep like babies.

Most books will say that because it is a big issue. But it doesn't have to be a problem. Okay we take Cesar's words about being the pack leader, which also means that if you are the pack leader then your dogs are your pack. Okay also take in what he says about you doing things first then allow your dog to do them basically showing your pack that only when you allow them can they also do these things. Okay you still with me? Alright now put this in your head, wolves in the wild are a pack right and when they hunt, eat, sleep etc it is always with the pack. But it is the Alpha pair that says when they do it.

So my thing is this if I get into bed then call the pack to bed then there are no problems. So far it has worked for me. All my dogs sleep in the bed but I get the prime spot.

Wouldn't have it any other way! Nothing better than waking up to those sweet little mopheads and morning kissies
