Sleeping with your Yorkie

[lolabella]

Mia sleeps on the bed too. She can't climb on or jump off the bed, so she whines when she wants to get off/get on. She did pee on our bed once, but that was during the day. We were right there so we pulled off the sheets before the pee had a chance to seep onto the matress pad...whew. However, Mia does wake up at 6 to go potty, and then she barely goes back to sleep. Meaning I cannot go back to sleep either. Last night hubby knocked over a glass of water on the nightstand (in his sleep!!!), and we had to turn on the lights for damage control at 4 in the morning. Mia never went back to sleep. So, I couldn't either. That's the down side. She sleeps during the day to make up for it, but I do get sleep deprived sometimes.
She never fell off the bed, but she does run on the bed when she wakes up. It is also fun to wake up with her kisses

Bridget shares her queen size bed with me! She's such a bed hog, but I can't sleep if she's not there. She has stairs to get up and down.

Hannah usually sleeps in her daddys recliner. Its a big fluffy one and she just curls up in a ball and sleeps there. Sometimes she'll sleep with my youngest son. But he's the only one she'll sleep with.

Toy sleap with me. (but not near me, he always go to the other side of the bed).
He never had any accident at bed. (just start barking like crasy when he want to pee, so i download him)

[LIL MIS' MAGIC]

Sailor sleeps in bed with me and Magic with my mom and neither have ever had a accident in bed. We always take them out to potty right before bedtime so that they will hold it all night, Magic sometimes has to go potty during the night but both are great about sleeping through the night!!

We only let the girls on the bed when it is bedtime,that way they only think of it as their bedtime spot, they know that when we get in bed it is time to go to sleep.

Cash sleeps with us occassionally... just started recently.. he loves it...

[ilovelouie]

Louie and Bella sleep with me also...we have a kingsize bed and they hog the whole thing....Louie usually cuddles up under my arm and Bella at the curve of my legs so I cant move...but I love having them with me.

[Maddie-Rudy-Mom]

My four sleep with me and they all have there special place on the bed. The two youngest ones go up and down the pet stairs if they have to go. Rudy and Maddie don't like the stairs, Rudy can jump on and off the bed, I pick Maddie up and she sleeps all night. I miss when one is not on the bed.

Yes, mine sleep with me. How old is your little one. I waited till my were around 4 1/2 months before I started letting them. They did fine.

I have an old fashioned playpen. It is the kind you use for babies. Well during the day we keep one side down and he goes in and out playing with his babies. That is where he sleeps at night. I tried to let him sleep with us once and after he finished snuggling he got up and crawled into the playpen on his own! He actually likes sleeping in his own bed. Plus I am scared that he might pee on my bed. He has a puppy pad in his playpen but hasn't used it in ages but you never know.We also have a large Shepherd that sleeps with us. This is the main reason I don't let Diesel sleep with us. I worry that Shep might lay on him since he is so little and you can't really see him at night. So this seems to work for us.

Sadie sleeps with us..She used to sleep in her crate until we went on a vaca..I was already in bed and told my hubby to put her to bed..When I woke up in the morning there she was! Well, that's all it took...just once...she has been sleeping with us ever since..Sadie has never fallen off the bed...she will sleep either under the covers and curls up under my armpit (PU!) or....she will lay along my side...Being a Mom I think my senses tell me that she is there..I usually either keep my hand on her or around her..just in case...

[BamaFan121s]

Trixie sleeps on my bed every night, but she didn't start doing that until she was well over a year old.

[LuvMySissy]

Sissy likes to cuddle with us in bed as we are winding down and watching TV. She usually lays on my hubby's legs and does not move. However, when it is time for bed, she gets restless unless we put her downstairs in her "room".

Just recently we have started bringing her into bed in the mornings with us. Weekdays, I get up at 5:15 - so that is potty time, even on the weekends. We don't usually get up till around 8:00 on weekends, so after pottying, she comes to bed with us, snuggles right up and goes back to sleep. If my hubby is in bed, she usually lays on his pillow. If not, she will lay across my back (I sleep in my stomach) and she doesn't move till we then get up.

BTW, our bed is pretty high and she cannot even begin to get on it by herself. She will jump down if she wants off fast, but I try not to let her do that.

Bear has slept with us since day 2...
Then first night in his crate he cried all night. Then second night he started out crying, and out of frustration, I put him in bed with us. It worked perfectly! He has been in bed with us since. He lays next to hubby while we are watching t.v., (he is so funny because he digs around and roots until he finds the perfect spot to lay down), but when lights go out, he roots his way under the covers to curl up beside or on me. He is so, so, sweet!

Diamond is between five and six months. She tends to get ansy on the bed and never settles down. Maybe I should just try it tonight and eventually she will get used to it. I would LOVE to sleep with her but she just doesn't seem to be content. My bed is also high off the floor so I am always paranoid she will fall off.
