Rubyboy and Gracie sleep with us. I wish Gracie was crate trained, she was a rescue and still suffers anxiety when I get out of her sight. She will not use a peepad, so I have to get up around 4am to let her out and back in. Hubby and Rubyboy are not bothered by this predawn ritual. If I try to ignor her she whines, barks and wakes everyone up, not a good way to start the day LOL. Abba and Ginny Joy sleep in their crates.

My Roxy sleeps with me when I crash on the sofa sometimes. I wish I wouldn't have started it. She is only 3 months old and I've only had her for a couple of weeks. Now she freaks out when I put her in her xpen at night.

We were the same way... We got Lulu at 12 weeks and she was whining in her pen the first couple of nights, and i would sleep on the floor with my hand in the pen to keep her calm.... Then we noticed that she was doing good with going on the pads... within a couple of weeks she was sleeping in the bed. We've never regretted it

I have never been able to crate train a dog. I can't take the crying. Our last two dogs were small dogs and I was more than glad to let them sleep in the bed. Gracie is like a magnet to me. When I sit down or go to bed she is right there with me. She is no problem. She just wants to snuggle and go right to sleep. Why would I get a dog if I didn't want it with me?
