Thats a good Idea! I'm going to look around after she is potty trained and see If I can find some semi rigid foam ramps!

Lola been sleeping with my husband and me since we got her at 8 weeks when she needed to potty in the middle of the night she would lick us her way of waking us up so we could bring her to her potty pads now she jumps off the bed goes potty she has pads in the bathroom this is where she decided she wanted to go we do take her out but the pads are great when we can't take her out and get back in the bed we tried the stairs she wouldn't use them I'm concerned because our bed is high I just keep working with her on the stairs

JadeD--I sure wouldn't mind being one of your puppies! You are so savvy and loving and understanding of your gang...Sleeping warmly 'til 9am? Wow, sounds like paradise!

I bought a nylon travel bag to put Barney in when he was a puppy. It would zip up, but he could see me and feel my hand through the mesh. This way I didn't have to worry about potty accidents or him falling from the bed. When he would whine, I would just put my hand up and feel him through the mesh. This lasted a few weeks until I caved in and just started letting him curl up by my belly.

LOL! I think my husband wishes he was one of my dogs too! He seems to think I love them more than I love him! That man just doesn't see how much I adore him.

Do you tuck your husband in at night on a heated sleeping pad? And does he get to sleep until 9?! Your entire family is indeed blessed to have you with your upbeat, wise, and happy spirit!!

Congrats!!! She is a real cutie❤️
I agree, once she is allowed to sleep in your bed she will most likely sleep through the night and then take over... Your bed is now her bed! Lol
My bed super high too, ramps are excellent easy to make or you can find on eBay or Amazon
Congrats she's a doll❤️

She only woke up once last night . I got home from work yesterday and my wife looked at me me with tired eyes and said, "This is just like having a newborn baby, I'm TIRED!" lol.............

I make sure he is comfy and cuddled with.

Tucking in.... Raksha goes up to my daughter and tucks the blanket all along one side of her at night. It is the cutest thing to witness! Raksha is a super great girl and would have made an amazing mama doggie (we get ALL our animals fixed as they are pets). She was the last born in the litter but she babies all the other animals in the house.

As far as them being like having a baby that is so true!!!! I brought the puppies home in May when they were 10 weeks old and oh my gosh it was like having a baby. The good news is that it will get better! It was about 4-6 weeks of me being exhausted from them, but after that it got a lot easier and now it is not like that at all and has not been for months (they are 10 months old now). I had 2 of them and I thought "What did I do?" I would not trade it for anything though!
