Should I allow my yorkie to sleep with me??? Okay, so I know there are certain concerns like me rolling over on the little guy, I understand that and would never want to hurt him, but outside of that, I was also wondering if it would mean he will need to sleep with me forever! lol. Some days I may want my bed to myself, and at some point I will be sharing my bed with my spouse.....just wanted to know what you all do. I just would hate to put him in his kennel at night when I could be giving him that one on one time. |
all three of mine sleep with me. cedric has since we brought him home and he was tiny but for me it was like when i had my daughter. i woke up to be sure he was safe all night! haha. now everyone has there spot and we sleep the night away. i am trying to talk dh into a king bed next! |
once they start snuggling you woill never not want them there once your ready to sleep. They are awsome snugglers and they find their spot. Both of mine were in from day 1. |
Once you do it there is no turning back.:) They will sleep with you always. My Rocco has been sleeping with me since he was 5 months old. At first you will get up all night long to make sure he is ok. Rocco crawls under the blankets and sleeps in the same spot all night.. |
Ours sleep w/ us. However, they are trained to also sleep off the bed. They don't cry when they are sleeping off the bed but always prefer the bed if given the opportunity. |
It's really the only way, isn't it??? :D Jack sleeps with us - he usually starts out snuggled up next to my hubby and then snuggles up next to me at some point during the night. Jack has been sleeping with us since about day 7 after we had him - maybe sooner. And he does have his own little bed on the floor too that he sleeps in but he loves sleeping in the bed with us. |
My two have always slept with us and we haven't had any problems. I think it's all personal preference... If you don't want them sleeping with you forever, I wouldn't allow it. My two would not be happy sleeping on the floor, and that's one of the reasons we couldn't have anymore dogs :p I need my space when I sleep, so anything more than two on our king bed would be TOO crowded. |
Teegy decided one day that he was sleeping with me, I have no problem with that and when I got Tufty he slept in his carrier for a week and after he had mastered the pet steps, he was sleeping on the bed too. I read all kinds of stuff about it and you know what it comes down to you and your dogs. They seem happy and content sleeping by my head together on the other pillow so that makes me happy and if they choose to snuggle in the middle of the night that makes me happy too. |
I am a new Yorkie owner. For me I can't have the little one sleep with me. I know that I go on vacations and she will need to stay with others. She can snuggle in bed with me, but then she goes to her bed. She can go stay with my mom, my friend or my neighbor who has a Yorkie. If she only sleeps with me then this might be very traumatic. With that said, I am on night three of "tough love" She is in her kennel with toys and her bed, and she is learning that that is where she is going to sleep. The first night she barked, wined, cried and shook the kennel all night, each night has gotten a bit better. I am home with her all day most days, only leaving for two hours or so. |
Ahi sleeps with us on my bed. She also has her own bed that is leveled with mine so sometimes she will walk right on over to her own bed and sleep. :) the main thing is she is in the room with me. :) |
I like Callie to sleep in her own bed because I am over weight and would crush her her I rolled on her plus I move a lot in my sleep. I also don't want her jumping onto the bed a hurting her leg/knee. Callie has a very comfy soft crate with a thick pad in it, a heating pad thing for dogs, a very soft blankies, and a little pillow she likes to lay and cuddle up to. I also keep my room cold so I like her to have a place where the fan won't blow on her. Another thing is her crate folds flat so I can take it with us if we travel. |
Our dogs have slept with us since day one. I like it and it works for us. If you start having the dog sleep with you, it will probably be kind of hard to break, but not impossible I suppose. It's really a personal preference. Oh, did I mention they like to snuggle real close and tight!!!! lol |
Well you are engaged and therefor should consider your spouse's wishes as well. I do feel it is hard to break the habit of a dog sleeping with you, once you start that. None of our dogs sleep on our beds. They do how-ever get cuddle times on the bed, and then our Yorkie is put into his comfy crate, and the big dogs sleep on the floor. Really it is up to you and your spouse how you would like to proceed. |
CoCo can sleep with me if she wants or in her bed - it's her choice. She is fine sleeping in either place. I have noticed that if she knows I'm not 100% she will sleep in the bed with me. Sometimes she starts out in my bed and ends up in hers. As long as she's happy & comfy, I'm happy. |
Both Georgie and Coco sleep with us and sometimes our 4 year old skin son:D When Georgie gets up and gets in his bed (once in a blue moon) I wake up and worry if he's ok. I think the most important thing is finding a spouse who loves dogs then you can all sleep in the same bed LOL |
