| No. When I was a kid my brother accidentally killed our pug when he slipped under his blanket and got trapped. Cook has her own crate to sleep in. Minnie slept next to or on top of the couch.

| Yes, because dogs are pack animals and prefer to sleep touching or huddled near their pack. And I enjoy Tibbe's tiny snores, cuddles. Can't sleep without him.

| Lola has slept in my bed since I got her. The first 2 weeks she slept in an open, clear tote on my bed. After that she slept on a little dog bed on my bed, and now she sleeps on top of me or pressed against me. I highly recommend the snoozer scalloped steps, especially since the two you're getting are supposed to be tiny. Snoozer Scalloped Dog Steps and Ramp - Snoozer Aging Pet Products |

| Yes, all 4 sleep with me, or maybe I should say I sleep with them in their nice big king size bed. They first started out sleeping in a play pen near my bed, until they could go through the night without peeing. After that they were welcomed into the big bed. I did not crate them, in the daytime they were in an ex-pen when unattended. For some people, there is a worry that they may fall off the bed and could get hurt, or that someone would roll over on them. This is more of a worry with tinies. It also depends on if you are a light sleeper, and do not like to be disturbed. I guess it is an individual decision.

| I was bed ridden ... well couch ridden when we got Holly .. she pretty much would not leave my side even when I got up to use the bathroom and she slept in her carry cast with blankies in there with the front flap open .... the first week I could not sleep at all so took her into the bathroom every 3 hours ... she learned to hold on all night pretty quick or to go use the bathroom pee pads on her own ... now 2 months down the track I've moved back to the bedroom .. I'm an absolute night owl so she sleeps on the floor, next to me on the couch, under the couch, al little bed at my feet or even sometimes on the window sill .... it varies pretty much every night .... then when its finally time for me to fall asleep she jumps up and gives me the look of "its about time" and off to bed we go .. she starts at the end of the bed chewing the same left over butcher bone that's been there for goodness knows how long and I fall asleep to crunching gnawing sounds :-) and then usually wake up in the morning with her pushed up against me or on the edge of my pillow .... :-)

| Yes, my pups mostly sleep with us. However, Piccolo usually leaves in the middle of the night and gets in her Cloud 9 bed. I think she gets too hot, but not sure. |

| Of course I love them sleeping with me! I never thought I would. Piper could sleep anywhere but she prefers to be right at my head. Jilly will bark until she is in the bed. My husband said let them in so we can all get some rest! Hahaha! |

| Ah sleep, my long forgotten friend. Last night they roamed around in our bed. Anna jumped off a few times which led to us getting up, retrieving her, and putting her back to bed. Two trips outside for failed attempts at potty breaks, and one trip to the living room to allow her to get her favorite toy and she still was restless. Barney tried to sleep but every time Anna changed positions, he had to get up and bark to assist in the "emergency". Anna finally dozed off about 4 this morning, one hour before we had to get up. She is now resting peacefully by my feet. Well, we all share a bed. But I am not sure you can say we sleep in it after last night. Here's to hoping that tonight the pack will sleep together. Ok, I obviously am ranting about last night. However, on a typical night it is wonderful. Barney curls up by my belly and Anna curls up at the bottom of the bed. When our former yorkie, Charlie, was alive, he slept in a crate. I would do anything to go back in time and have him in our bed.

YT 1000 Club Member | Once he's a little older and can control his bladder a bit better most definitely he'll be able to sleep in our bed until then he sleeps in his crate or one of his beds |
