Crushing Puppy? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Morkie4 · 10-29-2006, 07:37 PM

Let me start out by saying, I have a KING size bed and my husband and I are small people. Thus, both dogs sleep with us. The maltese sleeps at the foot of the bed and the yorkie curls up either next to me or my husband and usually sleeps there all night. Once in a while he will get down (we had to buy some puppy stairs so he could get up and down off the bed since our bed is so high). But 99% of the time, when I wake up, he is in bed with us. I neve worry about rolling on him, nor does my husband. The maltese has been sleeping with us for two years and the yorkie, six months and we've had no problems.

Mayzie sleeps with us in the middle of the foot of the bed. She has her own fleece blanket that she makes a "nest" in everynight and we call that "her place" She generally stays there and sleeps all night. She always has been a good sleeper. Some nights she will creep up and when she does we just tell her to go to her place and she will--most of the time. If not, we pick her up and say "this is your place" and she stays there. It has worked out very well for us.

Thanks everyone... another weekend came and went but my bf was only here 1 night and I kept Diezel in the living room only 1 night and he seemed totally ok with it.

However, this week while I am at work and while he sleeps with me I keep his blanket on my bed by my head and hopefully he will stay on that while sleeping in the bed with us. I cant do just his crate next to my bed because he will do nothing but bark or whine until I put him in the bed. Literally all night long. There is no ignoring him.. he is relentless and just will not stop. Anytime I am sitting or laying anywhere he freaks if he cant get on top of me.

And so no one thinks I let him just run free on this high bed, I keep my mattress and boxspring on the floor because I wanted to avoid ever having a situtaion where he gets to close to the edge and falls off. This way there should he ever fall it is not far at all. Also I have the puppy step by the bed or couch at all times

I am worried my hubby will roll over on Sadie so...she sleeps on my left side under the blankets, curled up in my armpit! Maybe it's a mother thing but, if she moves I wake up. Lillie is our new furbaby...19 weeks old, she still sleeps in her crate.

Oh it is definatly a mother thing. I too know where Diezel is anytime he is sleepign with me. But I can't lie, there are times where I woke up looking around for him and when he notices I am up he come right up under my armpit like yours...lol I had him in his crate for over a year and every time I tried to leave the crate door open so he could come out on his own to go potty the only place he was concerned with was coming to where I was and begging to be picked up. Hopefully his blanket in the bed will help me stay put during the night.

My baby sleeps at the top of my head.. her pillow is kinda under mine..
kinda layered like ..
she does fine and the other sleeps on the side of mine and my hubby head.
so if you roll over you get a nose/mouth full of hair LOL

I am rather large guy, over 6' and 200 lbs.

They get out of the way, and they are tough little suckers, really!

Little ellie will sometimes sleep on my pillow with me.

Benson normally sleeps at my feet!!

Can I ask how tiny yours are? Diezel is 3.5 lbs. Im sure we will work it out. But this makes me feel better since you are about the same size as my boyfriend. And if it doenst work out I told my boyfriend since he is the one who is nervous about crushing Diezel we can always get a blow up mattress and he(the bf) can sleep on the blow up next to our bed... LOL

Ellie is about 5 lbs and Benson is a little over 7.

I have rolled on top of them before, and they were fine. They WILL get out of the way trust me!!!

They love to sleep in the bed, and since they are clean animals and very sweet they make great bed mates!

Plus- my girlfriend would have it no other way!!!

Good luck

We let Achilles to sleep with us sometimes and we have not crushed him. He loves to cuddle up right next to us when he sleeps. So, there have been times when my hunny has almost crushed him, but Achilles always is aware and moves over. I have found that he really likes to burrow, so majority of the time, he sleeps between our legs. We make a little cradle for him, with one leg straight and the other bent and he sleeps right behind our knees. It is too funny!!!
