What age did your furbaby start sleeping with you?

[my2boyz]

Since the first day I brought them home...Jo was about 16 weeks and Riley was 14 weeks. Neither of them has ever had an accident in the bed but Riley thinks the whole world should be awake at about 5:30 a.m.!

He was almost 4 months. I was determined to have him sleep in his crate every night b/c I didn't trust the b/f not to roll over on him (he has bull in a china shop syndrome when he's AWAKE, let alone sleeping). But I went to bed by myself early one night and brought him with me and now he just sleeps on my side of the bed.

I met a woman once who had a particularly tiny yorkie and she would put her in her harness at night and wrap the leash around the headboard so she wouldn't fall off the bed.

my dog is 2 months i leave it in the kennel at night to sleep and put it ontop of the bed while i sleep and doesnt bark goes straight to sleep when it see me sleeping

I got bruiser when he was 6 weeks old, for the first two weeks he slept in a "crib" beside my bed, but he didnt sleep for very long periods at a time, he was up like every two hours. One night he kept crying so i put him in the bed with me and he will sleep all night, some nights he is up once or twice to potty but will go back to sleep. Of course I dont sleep like i used to lol.

Chachi and Jewels started sleeping with us when they were 4 months old

For a while at 8 wks till I found her off the bed. She had jumped off a really high bed (custom made built higher than most). Scared me enough she did not again till we lowered the bed.

Lucy was 6 months old when she started sleeping with me. I put her in one night just to see what she'd do. She scratched the sheet until I covered her and settled in at the curve of my back and has been sleeping that way since.

Diesel is a year old and he JUST started to sleep with us abput 2 months ago! I boutgh him a baby playpen when he was a little. That is what he had always slept in at night. Then one morning we woke up and he was curled up in a ball laying beside me. He had jumped out sometime in the middle of the night and that was the last time he slept in the playpen at night! I was worried about our Shepherd laying on him so that is why he slept in the playpen. It seems to all work out. Our Shepherd knows he is in bed with us and stays on his side of the bed so it all works out. Plus Diesel sleeps with my daughter a lot at night too. Once they sleep in bed with you one time you can hang it up. LOL Same goes for our children. We let our DD sleep with us ONCE and she stayed until she was almost 4 LOL

Sorry I got to rambling!!

Answer to your question --- The first night I brought him home (8 weeks old).

Now he's 11 months old and has found a lot of different places he likes to sleep. He usually starts out with me and then moves later during the night - to his bed - to sleep on the floor (where it is cooler) etc.

No problem!

I doubt mine will ever sleep with us as we're just neither one the type that wants a dog in our bed. Plus i sleep so sound it can storm and not wake me up. And I know a girl whose friend let her yorkie sleep with her and it jumped off and broke its neck one night. I rather know where mine are and know their in a place where I wont roll over on them and smash them to death. Hubby use to put the kids in our bed when they were tiny but he put them on his side of the bed. I was too scared I might roll over on one till they got bigger. I'm awful when it comes to waking up but yet I can not recall ever at any time not hearing one of my kids at night when they woke up. Sometimes before hubby did. Maybe it was the mother instinct or because I worried about them so scared I wouldnt hear them when hubby worked nights. But they were older then. not just a few weeks or a few months old.

Both Jazzie & Jewel slept with us from they day we brought them home. Jewel slept on the bed in her crate! It only lasted for about a week since she cried so much.

Jewel loved to sleep curled up in Dan's armpit and Dan always had a sore shoulder when he woke up.

Jazzie like to sleep on my pillow. It's like I'm wearing a living wig!

[Gingergirlsmom]

Just as soon as she started sleeping through the night (which happened really quickly with her!). I waited til then so that I could be pretty confident she wouldnt pee in my bed!

[baby03]

Baby started/demanded sleeping with me when she was 8 months. Never went back to her kennel/crate!! She loves our bed!!

[chestermama]

chester has been sleeping with me since 8 wks, he would sleep around my neck all night, and my studly boy still does.
