Does your yorkie sleep with you or in his/her own bed?? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bevo has slept with me since he was about 4 months old. He slept in his playpen at first because I thought Id roll over on him and crush him. But, he had his own plan!! He snuggles right up against me UNDER the covers. He is still pretty small at 2 1/2, but Ive never hurt him in bed!! He knows when to move!

Jinger · 03-13-2011, 08:13 AM

We tried and tried to get Zoe to sleep in a crate, first on her own and then with her buddies the cavaliers. She hated it. Finally let her in the bed, but I always worried I would crush her (2 1/2 lbs), since she preferred under the covers for warmth. I finally put one of her blankets around neck heighth on the bed between hubby and I and she curls up on that. I cover her if it's chilly and she stays there all night. Hubby and I sleep better because we're not so worried about her.
My cavaliers started out on our bed. Emma started snoring so loudly she had to move to another room in a crate. Then Cooper wanted to join her. Now they get tired and put themselves to bed in their crate. Cindy sleeps with my son, or with us when he's not home.
It's a house full of love!

Jackson sleeps in my bed every single night and has since I brought him home at 9 weeks old.

From about 9 weeks-16 weeks old, he slept in a crate ON my bed, LOL. Then he eventually was just in my bed for the night.

Actually, Gizmo and Kandi allow us all to share the bed. It's quite obvious that it's their bed first and ours second.

We're actually shopping for a new mattress right now and it looks like it will be a king this time.

joekhoo · 03-13-2011, 08:36 AM

Tezel like to curl up on my pillow and put his face next to mine while staring at me till I close my eyes. Then he will settle down and sleep on my pillow. Last week I just got him a comfy little bed and now he is sleeping in his bed which is on my bed. He would still look at me till i close my eyes before he sleep. I somehow find it nice to have him making sure I'm asleep before he goes to sleep.

katy-yorkie · 03-13-2011, 08:37 AM

Both of mine sleep with me. Maggie will sometimes sleep in a chair that she likes, but she will usually only sleep there part of the night. Buster isn't going to sleep anywhere but with me. They get under the covers if they get cold but I have small blankets that I cover them with if I think they are cold. They don't stay covered up for long.

cslat1 · 03-13-2011, 08:38 AM

Calleigh sleeps in my bed. I wouldn't have it any other way. She loves it too. She sleeps behind my head on the pillow. I'm glad, because I'm a very light sleeper and if she is near my legs I don't sleep well. I'm thankful she has never had fleas. LOL!

MilliesMum · 03-13-2011, 08:46 AM

Millie started off in her crate next to my bed when we first had her at 7 weeks old, then as she started pining for her mum and brothers, i of course, got her out for a cuddle to comfort her, this usually being about half 3 in the morning, i sometimes fell asleep so she got used to cuddling up to me. every since then she screamed and screamed everytime we put her in her crate until we finally gave up and she now has her igloo bed in the corner of ours and lays in between us to get warm and cuddles up in her bed after or if shes really cold, next to me cudded into my tummy. we never squish her, even if we did im sure she would let us know!! - we are just allowed to be in HER bed to be heaters for her lol

Molly sleeps in her bed in her own room.

cowgirlc · 03-13-2011, 10:15 AM

My Gizmo has never slept any where other than in between DH and I. He has his own pillow that he starts on while we are watching TV, but the time I turn off the tv, he slips off the pillow and gets right between the pillow and me and curls up at my belly. And yes I agree he is my personal heater. As a matter of fact he pushes me to the edge of the bed all the time....lol

spiritwings1202 · 03-13-2011, 10:25 AM

Pixie slept in her crate until about 9 months and started crying at bed time so she started sleeping with me around 9 months as well. Daisy has slept with me since I got her bc she would not stop barking the first night we brought her home...... I normally

have two dogs sleep with me and when my Grandog spends the night I have three in bed. Thank God I have a king size bed.

WELL...here lately, she's been waking up whining earlier and earlier (by 4 a.m.), wanting to snuggle in the bed with us. Last night, she was whining at 1 a.m. and we just had to let her "cry it out" like we did our babies to get them to sleep on their own. She was quiet and back asleep in about 20 minutes.

My husband thinks we should just go ahead and let her sleep with us all night. I'm not as convinced. I don't like the fact that, because she's so cold natured, she wants to be up against one of us or under the covers. I guess I'm afraid she'll smother.

SO, I was just wondering what you all do?!?!! Do your furbabies sleep with you, in their bed in the room with you, in their crate????? Any advice???

THANKS in advance,

Jeannie from GA

Sugar sleeps with me. I'm not a very sound sleeper so I feel okay with this.

Having said that: There have been several times that I have been too close to hurting her for her comfort and she has pushed me off from her with her little feet

tammyjo · 03-13-2011, 10:34 AM

Molly sleeps with us. She moves out of the way if we move. She does awesome and sleeps till were ready to get up. At first I wanted her to sleep n the cage but hubby thought differently. Now I'm glad she's a cuddle bug.

yorkshirecrazy · 03-13-2011, 10:37 AM

My furbabies sleep in my bed since they were little. I love to cuddle with them and they love to be under the covers. Espeacially now with this cold weather. If you don't mind sleeping with them in bed then you should let them and not worry. They won't get smothered. Believe me, they will move if they are uncomfortable. Sometimes I don't know how they can stay under the covers all night but it's been over 8 years and they are fine. So enjoy your cuddley one, I know I do!

Both of my babies have slept with me from day 1!! Wouldn't have it any other way!!!
