Where Does Your Puppy Sleep ... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Stedman sleeps in the bed with us. My hubby (had lol) one of the long "squishy" body pillows...which isn't his anymore since Stedman stole it

So we put that in the middle of us and Steddy lays right on it. He has to be RIGHT by us. He too jumps down in the middle of the night (usually to attack the cat, but he never stays down for more than a minute or two) and then he will come to the side of the bed and bark until we pick him up and put him back up on the bed with us. I am going to buy him some doggy steps very soon though - because the little guy can jump down, but he can't get back up

I am amazed at how many Yorkies love to sleep in bed with us, thier Mum's and Dad's. It seems many of them like to lay on the pillow and be covered like a human, I have had other breeds of dogs before, but never have ANY wanted to sleep like this.

All three of my Yorkies love to be with us.

It has made me smile.

I just hope Teddy doesn't decide to jump off again without me knowing (LOL)

Hootie and Hobbs both sleep in the bed with us. They have slept in bed with us since the first day we brought them home...Hootie since she was 7 weeks and Hobbs since he was 8 weeks. Neither of them can jump on or off the bed, so I don't worry about them wandering during the night. They wake me up if they ever have to go potty in the middle of the night.

dianaww · 10-15-2006, 12:44 PM

Teddy is only 9 weeks old so I really don't know how he got off the bed either, he is quite daring, I think he possible used the quilt as a slide, as we have a larger quilt than we need on the bed (in an attempt to stop hubby pinching my covers

) We didn't hear a squeel or a bark, and he was quite happy under the bed.

I hope he doesn't make a habit of it, there is too much on the floor that we don't want him to get.

We will have to think of something, if he does it again. Aren't they adorable

Susan sleeps part time on our bed, part time in her crate. Depends on how she feels. Sometimes she just needs her own space.

Tila sleeps RIGHT WITH ME!
lol
it's fine because she's big enough so where if she jumps she doesn't get hurt, but she usually uses the pillows we have made into stairs, they're really firm stiff pillows, not regular ones!

WRScorpio · 10-15-2006, 02:27 PM

Duke sleeps with me. He started out sleeping on my legs... then he moved to my side... and now he thinks the whole king size bed is his. He still prefers to cuddle between my legs, but I'm not surprised to wake up in the morning and find him on my pillow by my head. He also readjusts the covers to suit him... it's quite a task for him as he pulls and jumps on them, but he gets them how he wants them I suppose, regardless of it's affecting me.

And yes, he HAS to be touching me. He has puppy steps going up to the bed, but he won't go down them so I've made him a little landing pad of pillows so he doesn't hit the floor so hard. He's a rough little boy. I love my little bed buddy though.

I was at Penney's over the weekend and they had them in the housewares department. They were on sale for $29.99. They looked pretty nice.

JillandJack · 10-15-2006, 03:25 PM

I woke up this morning at the very edge of the queen size bed almost ready to fall off. My little prince and princess were sprawled out on the rest of the bed. Jack was okay with sleeping in his own bed in our room until Jill came along. She would only settle with being in bed with us, that is, if we wanted a decent nights sleep. So now Jack has joined us. Thank goodness for doggy stairs. They would jump off during the night, not be able to jump back on and sit by the side of the bed and whine until I woke to pick them up. I gate the bedroom door and if they want to jump down, they won't get very far and they can get back in bed by themselves.

WRScorpio · 10-15-2006, 03:57 PM

I bought my doggy steps on EBay. The ones in the store and advertised on the TV are usually around a foot high, so, they weren't big enough for the bed. I was able to get a some that are a little over two feet high and they work great. The only thing is the shipping was a little high because some of them run heavy, depending on what they are made of. But, there's lots of variety on there.

I google searched mine and found some great stairs that you can custom order to your dog. We paid somewhere around $125 for them but they are made of wood and them carpeted The stairs are 12 inch Wide, 8 inch deep and four levels.....these are perfect for our little guy. I will try to go through my paperwork and get the exact website for you if you are still interested or if that price suits you. I filed it away.......just have to go through that file folder and I am too lazy at the moment to do it
