Sleeping arrangements

[Wylie's Mom]

It's like you're in the middle of a huge yorkie sandwich! How delicious!

Wylie is a traveler...he usually starts out on the foot of the bed (cuddling w/ his 2 socks), but then he'll be often be unpredictable and fall asleep in one of the round beds, or up btwn our pillows, or under the covers.

Marcel usually sleeps by me, and is often under the covers after only a little while. I hate getting up in the morning, bc he is still sleepy...but he always feels he MUST get up with me for morning kisses...and then I put him back to bed w/ hubby.

Pfeiffer loves to sleep under the covers, curled up w/ Tony, bc he's so nice and warm...but then once in a while, she wants to sleep with her Mama too .This morning, I woke up, and there she was btwn me and hubby...laying on her side, with the covers pulled up just to above her shoulders...like a little person. SO cute!

[CouversMom]

Our sleeping arrangements are pretty similar. Dh and I have a king sized bed and Couver loves to sleep under the blanket by my chest and Khloe likes to sleep between my legs to make sure that I can't move.

I wouldn't have it any other way

Wow, Bonny, 8 furry cuddlers, I am so jealous. I only have 4, and they rotate around the bed thru the night. I definitely have room for a few more though.

[Jenna AK]

LOL...'Eight is Enough', eh? (Who here remembers that show? I think I just dated myself!) Wow, I bet that means a LOT of lead separators! 0_o

In Alaska, there's a child's story called the 6-Dog Night...it basically talks about how many dogs you need sleeping on the bed with you when it gets bitterly cold in winter. I think it was on Reading Rainbow years ago.

Jenna has always wanted to be an 'on the bed' dog ever since we got her this spring.

But when she first came home, she was supposed to be my daughter's dog, so we kept her in a penned area in the kitchen so they'd have an opportunity to bond.

Unfortunately, she was also a climber, so it wasn't hard for her to vault the pen sides and then you'd hear the little 'ticky-ticky' of toenails on the floor headed your way....those big brown eyes became harder and harder to resist.

Now that she's basically my dog, and follows me everywhere, nappy time has to be wherever mummy is. This means in a cuddly cup on the chair in the kitchen, or in the computer chair behind me, or on/in my bed: blankets and pillows are all fair game here.

She did start off by sleeping at the foot...then moved gradually up the bed until she got to around the top of my head on the pillow one night, (much to my cat's chagrin), but now she has to be under the blankets where she can get at my kneecaps, which get a thorough washing each night before she passes out. (It's part of what puts her to sleep, works better than a bedtime story!)

The worst part for me is I am instantly awake any time she moves, for fear of crushing her. And when she has to get up around 2 AM for a drink of water, I have to get up with her since she won't go by herself.
And she used to growl at the cats if they tried to get up on the bed too, but she found it's more effective to pick out a toy and go with it in her mouth, tail wagging furiously, for a play invite. That gets rid of the cats fast! The looks on their faces are priceless as they scarper!

Eh...it's all good. Jenna and I would be lost without each other now. The little quirks turned into perks rather easily.

[Mom to Hot Rod]

Made me smile when I read about your furry blanket. lol

I'm jealous as mine sleep in their expen. Hubby doesn't like furbabies in bed.

I was shocked when we recently went out of town and spent the night in a hotel, he actually called Maggie up onto the bed and then he wound falling alseep and lo and behold the 2 of them got to spend the night in bed. But then I had a restless night because I was so afraid of rolling over onto them. I keep waking up and in turn kept waking them up. lol Hot Rod was not too amused at having his sleep disturbed 10 times thru the night. lol

[Ringo1]

Ringo likes to sleep at the foot of the bed ~ then gets pi$$ed if your feet accidentally kick him. Slowly, I've been moving him forward so he's not near my feet.

Lucy has to be right smack up against me - either my back or stomach depending on which way I've turned.

Lately, Ringo has turned up his nose at sleeping with me and chooses to sleep in my son's bed; where he always slept as a pup.

LOL, Hot Rod. I used to move around a lot in my sleep, so I was afraid too that I would roll over on Max. He always got out of the way, which would wake me up because I could hear him scrambling.

Max was a year old before he started sleeping in my bed. He preferred his xpen -- and the door had to be closed.

Our bed is really crowded. My Husband has the yorkies all snuggled up to him and I have 2 6 month old cats and 3 10 wk old kittens laying on me, next to me and arournd me and I cant move. They are cute but sometimes I would love to stretch. If I take a nap on the couch they do the same thing

[AprilLove]

Isn't it wonderful Bonny???? ♥♥♥!!
Your Pippin sounds like AprilLove, she too loves to sleep on my head!!!
Now, everytime I read one of your posts, you have another furbaby, I don't recognize Keagan? Spill it sister!!!! When did you add another lovbug???? Pictures????

[Darlene68]

You have lots of little cuddle bugs to keep you warm at night Bonny!!!
Jesse prefers to lie down against my shoulder, close to my face, Bailey always taps me on my arm to lift the blanket up for him and he cuddles up by my tummy, if I roll over on my other side both of them will move to the opposite side with me! I would miss them so much if I didn't have them with me at night.

Hi MK!! I've been missing you and your babies around here.

Keagan is the little boy I adopted from Yorkie Haven Rescue several months ago. I've talked about him some here on YT, but I probably used a different name. Poor little guy.....he's been through so many different names while I tried to find the *right* one. Keagan still isn't quite right for him either, but I couldn't put him through one more name change.

Princess sleeps in her kennel-she loves it when she's ready for bed if it's before we put her to bed...she just goes in herself and goes to bed.
Elvis has a bed under my bed-I don't like him sleeping on the bed my bed is very high off the floor and I'm afraid he will either fall off or get squished at night...
Scoobers has a bed in my son's room that he sleeps in almost every night he wakes my son up for school with kisses when the alarm goes off. We actually have a couple dog beds in every room in the house and they all routate throughout the day and some nights with them...
I actually have to keep my dogs separated as Elvis has seizures and I don't trust them home alone or when we're sleeping to be unsupervised-instincts are instincts and the ill get weeded from the pack...

[NAUTILUS1900]

So nice to know that everybody sleeps with their "pack".
My little one when it's bed time, she goes to her bed and she waits for me to call her a couple of times to come to my bed. I think she likes me begging her. Since I put a small pillow right next to mine she sleeps to her pillow as long as she can feel me. My older one starts from the bottom of my bed and by the morning she is all over my face. At 7:30 she starts licking my face so I wake up and feed them both.

Sandy sleeps with us on the bed. He likes to sleep right next to hubby or in hubby's arm. Sometimes I'll find him hiding under the duvet with his nose sticking out. There are times I found him sleeping on my pillow right next to my head.

[jackieblackwell]

Bedtime at our house is a ritual!! I take Bella and Sandy outside for their last bathroom break - Murphy is normally already in bed and doesn't want to be disturbed as is Panda, the cat, now that it has turned cold. If Murphy has to potty in the middle of the night, he will get up and go outside via doggie door. I'll get in bed (after moving Murphy over a little bit - he is usually on my pillow), Bella settles into the small of my back. Sandy will start out on the floor but by morning will have found a spot on the bed. HUBBY is on his 1/8th of the bed....sometimes he just gives up and gets on the couch! He's a sweetheart though and never complains!!
