| sleeping with us Is it ok for our little Milo to sleep with us? I never had a dog that slept with us. Milo starts out in the utlilty room at night but i hear him about 3 or so in the morning so i will let him out and he will get in bed with us or our daughter. I am afraid he is cold. He seems to be cold because he is shaking. He goes back to sleep and sleeps the rest of the night. Is it a bad idea to start this? |

| Mine sleep with us every night. I LOVE it. Sophia snuggles by daddy and Peyton snuggles by me. I know everyone does not agree with letting a dog sleep in your bed. But, this works great for us.

| Brandi sleeps with me every night. For safety reasons, depending on high your bed is, you may want to get your little one some steps. Their little bones are fragile and could easily break a leg jumping off the bed. You will find a lot of members let their littles ones sleep with them. Heck some members have multiple yorkies and they all sleep in the bed |

| Once its started it wont ever stop. But, our lil furbaby has slept with us from day 1. I would not have it any other way. I love the way she snuggles up with us at night. She may only be 3 pounds but she sure is a pillow hog! And when hubby snores to loud she jumps on his chest and licks his nose till he rolls over and stops snoring. Its the funnest thing I have ever seen but she needs her sleep too!! Our yellow lab and blue heeler both sleep with my daughter. She is only 9 but I sure do sleep better knowing they are in there and that she is 100% safe. Our heeler would not even let a fly land on her at night and the lab is about the same. I dont even try to sneek in her room without them dogs knowing that I am there. |

| Bailey has been sleeping in her kennel since she was little. I tried letting her sleep with me once, but she didn't like it. She got up at 4 am and didn't want to sleep, she tried to take up the whole bed, and I was not comfy because I didn't want to wake her up if I moved. She really likes her kennel. She sleeps longer too. I also read that there were a lot of dangers sleeping with your dog, including diseases. It's a personal dicession you have to make though. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | We were going to have Annie sleep in her crate when we got her but, she would not have any idea of that. She would whine and cry all night. So, we decided to let her sleep with my DD. This was when she was about 14 weeks and she is now 7 months and still happily sleeping with my DD. We have never had a potty accident in bed and she will sleep about 9 hours a night. My DD is loving it. So, I guess you could say it has been a win-win situation for us.

| All my furbabies sleep with us! My bed is high off the ground so we have steps for them.

| We have had a small dog sleep with us....it started to interfear with our intimacy. Now the two larger dogs sleeps in my one sons room, the smaller dog sleeps with my other son and our Yorkie sleeps in either her crate or her play yard...with no dogs in bed with us, there is more intimacy and we actually sleep better. Once Sunny gets big, she will have her pick of which son she wants to sleep with. Bobbi

| Geno started out sleeping in his crate for maybe a 2-3 nights but then I got depressed hearing him whine downstairs so we moved the crate to the bedroom. He still whined so I snuck him into bed. My boyfriend came upstairs and I gave him a story of Geno finding a cape and flying into bed like Super Dog. My boyfriend was mad for about a minute but then saw how much Geno wanted to be with us at night that he is okay with it. We got steps for Geno since the bed is pretty high. My mom was so mad at us cause she was so scared we'd roll over on him at night. Thankfully we haven't and he ends up sleeping right in between our heads anyways.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Right now, Katie Scarlett sleeps in our room, but not on the bed. She has her big girl bed, a potty pad, and water bowl set up in the corner of the room. We have a small x pen set up around it. But we were wanting to confine her until she was potty trained. She is almost if not 100% of the way there. I let her lay up in the bed with us until she goes to sleep and then I gently lay her down in her big girl bed. My husband is going to be building us some stairs so she can just sleep up there with us soon. She is a good girl when she gets to go to sleep on the bed. When I put her immediately into her big girl bed without cuddling, she will bark a bit. If I don't give in, she will bark for a while, but finally give in. I'd rather her just be up there with me. I sleep alone as my husband works nights about 4 nights per week. It'd be nice to have a companion on the nights he is not here. LOL
