| Right Size Bed? How do you know if the bed is the right size? Recently Deuce has taken to sprawling out in his daytime lounge bed with some body part hanging off. At night he seems to curl up. What does your yorkie prefer?

| It looks like he’s just comfy lol . He and Emma look like they have the same size bed and Emma can put her feet out and do the frog legs when she’s so comfortable and it looks like she’s too big for the bed . I will say i don’t buy the teeny tiny beds they sell for puppies , I usually get the next size upon, can hold a 15 pound dog I think .

| Lol Deuce is just toooo cute. He's just comfy hanging out lol. My now passed girl was a big girl weighing in at 17 pounds, she had a nice big bed and always managed to hang out of hers. Cody has a big bed also, so far he's managed to stay in his.

| Taylor I've had to walk away from beds because I find them so cute and feel like Emma needs another. She really doesn't because she'll find a lap and she is allowed on furniture so her beds take up space on whatever she's lying on. LOL

| Piper seems to have plenty of room on the queen size bed in which we sleep;and burrowing under the covers keep her cozy. Man, it is a dog's life...! |

| Duchess seems to prefer the smaller dog beds. I also have a memory foam dog house for her that is really small. I didn't realize how small it was but Duchess loves it. It's her escape from the cat but now the cat goes in there and it drives Duchess crazy. When Duchess wants to go in her dog house and the cat is in their, she starts tugging at the dog house trying to get the cat out but the cat doesn't budge. It is so funny watching those two Last edited by yavenay; 03-08-2018 at 08:42 AM. |

| My last yorkie (RIP Brandi) completely took over my queen size bed. She graciously allowed me a small slither of space on the edge of the bed to sleep.. I could never figure out how a small 5lb dog can take up so much room. |

| Beds Hi, My Joey does not like a bed that is small I found out as I just ordered and got him new beds that were measured as the size of his current beds but came in way too small and he would go in it for a short time and then go right back to his old bed. He likes a roomy bed he can either stretch out on or curl up anywhere on the bed or the sides and he is just a tiny little boy. He does not hang out of the bed except sometimes his little toes will hang out. So I ordered a bed that should fit the bill at least I hope so. They are so cute when asleep.

| This reminds me of a video I took of my two that I couldn't resist not sharing. https://www.instagram.com/p/BLq7MiBh...ttie.and.casie Maybe it's a matter of sleeping style? The beds I have are the same size and seem to be a good fit for my two (but I'd definitely go bigger rather than smaller in terms of bed size). Casie seems to always hang her body off the bed or sleep to the very edge of the bed, while Scottie likes to be contained within the bed. Though I'm pretty sure even Casie curls up at night when she sleeps. But maybe for Deuce, it's colder at night so he curls up? And during the day, he's just 'lazing' around, so he's sprawled out?

| Sandy likes to put her feet on the bed and lay on the floor. Zoe has a bed that's like 3 feet by 3 feet and she sleeps in the middle and doesn't let anyone else get on with her. So like someone said before I think it's just sleeping style. Maybe they're hot and like their head on the cooler floor

| Our babies all seem to have their own unique personalities and sleeping habits. They're just all too cute and too precious. |
