Should I allow my yorkie to sleep with me??? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Lydianev · 05-15-2012, 12:48 PM

Well, my maltese has been sleeping with us since she was potty trained, over 12 years now. Bayleigh (the yorkie) always sleeps with us when we're RVing, and occasionally at home, but mostly puts herself in her crate and keeps poking her head out til we close the door...and YES they like to be really close. Who knew how heavy a 6.5 lb dog could be when sleeping!

We had a talk about the "rules" before we went to bed. Went through every room and explained that "this is NOT your room". When we got to my room, I explained to her about chewing up shoes and if she simply HAD to chew a pair up for me to PLEASE not make it an expensive pair. When it was bedtime I warned her that if she peed in my bed I'm peeing in hers as soon as I get up. And by default, she'd have way more pee to deal with than me.

I think she got the message. Not once has she done it.

You crack me up!!!

Can some tell me do you have steps for the Yorkies to go up and down on to get on and off of the bed. Our bed is really high up

Deadbug · 05-15-2012, 06:38 PM

Yes. I built them myself and I smash my tow on them at least once a day.
I think my foot is permanently disfigured because of that.

Both of ours have slept with us from day 1 pretty much I tried to have my yorkie sleep on the floor next to the bed because I was afraid of him falling off. Needless to say we ended up changing our bed to a low profile platform, and brutus happily sleeps on the pillow on his daddys head. Luna starts in her bed usually on the floor and always ends up in the bed.

My baby sleeps with me every night. She doesn't have steps to get up and down but she has never jumped off either. She sleeps all night and wakes me up in the morning with kisses and waits for me to get up to take her out. I wouldn't have it any other way.

LOL, that reminds me of Turner & Hooch....

"These are the simple rules. No barking, now growling, you will not lift your leg to anything in this house. This is not your room. No slobbering, no chewing, you will wear a flea collar. This is not your room. No begging for food, no sniffing of crotches, and you will not drink from my toilet. This is not your room."

Avery definitely sleeps with me. What I do is take a blanket and curl it in a circle on the other end of the bed and he lays in it. This prevents him from getting too close to me and me accidently rolling on him. HOWEVER, sometimes he does stray from the blanket and it's just an instinct to wake up and move him. Whenever the hubs is here, he snuggles us, but keep in mind we're only in a double bed--- I envision it a lot easier to sleep in a larger bed.
Since we keep the house FREEZING at night in South Louisiana, making Avery sleep on the floor, in his bed, would be cruel. First off, he hates the fan because it annoys him and secondly-- he's only 4 lbs and I totally think he's cold 24/7. I see nothing wrong with your pup sleeping in your bed.

Yes, we have steps, but only for going up. For some reason Bayleigh doesn't like to go down the steps and instead thinks she can fly off the bed (which is strictly forbidden)! In the morning the steps get moved out of reach so no one can go up without supervision (although my grandchildren try on occasion). My maltese, Lexie, is old and knows better than to try to get down without assitance, or up these days.

I have had yorkies for over 40 years and chihuahuas and they have always slept with me. I would have it no other way!

Deadbug · 05-17-2012, 05:10 AM

Yep! One of mine pee'd on my down comforter this morning! Take a guess which one did it?

Can you clean these things? I just barely bought this one! I don't want to throw it out yet. (the blanket, not the dog. well.... maybe the dog..... no... no.. not the dog)
