Yorkie falling off a bed - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

As already mentioned there is a potential risk of injury with any size . Oscar is 10 lbs but I still worry about him . He is a daredevil and has scared the life out of me a few times . I do not allow jumping when I can catch him but sadly you can't watch them 24/7 .

Our pup, Monty sleeps with us as well. He mostly prefers to sleep in his bed which we put on our bed near our feet. It's a self-warming bed so I suspect it's slightly warmer for him to use it.

I'm a deeper sleeper than my husband and once many years ago pushed one of our shih tzus off the bed (she was fine but surprised), so I put the bed's large bolster pillows on the floor on my side of the bed.

I have always allowed my past dog to sleep with me from big to small. My very first yorkie would wait to be taken on and off the bed, she never liked the bed stairs. Now my current ones use the stairs and love it. I do have rules for them one being no playing on the bed. I did have a mishap with my beloved ABby (I lost her during a spay in June). My male who is older blocked her as she ran up the stairs and she attempted to skirt around him at the top of the stairs an mis judged, she fell off and got the wind knocked out of her, she was stunned and t I thought she broke her neck. It was the most frightening thing I ever experienced next to one of my human children being hurt. Thank goodness she was fine but I ran her to the vet. Now I make sure they are supervised on the bed and I remove the stairs if I am not on the bed. It just takes a few extra precautions and supervision but I wouldn't have it any other way
