Has any one else read it? I would like to recommend a book I got from your country and wondered if anyone else has it.It is called people I sleep with by Jill Fineburg and the foward is very emotional I cried and cried when I read it. |
That sounds like a book I would enjoy reading. :aimeeyork |
Whwn we got Andy, the conversation went as follows: David (my husband): Where is he going to sleep? Me: On our bed. David What? Me: Not IN our bed, ON our bed. David: I have never had a dog sleep on my bed? Me: Well, then where will you sleep? Andy got on our bed, spent 60 seconds. Looked at us under the covers and decided that was a far nicer spot. He snuggled under, looked up at David with those big beautiful brown eyes and he has been there for 9 years - with the exception when he was recovering from his attack. Boomer came along and he took the other side! Now we wake up when they are not there and wonder what is wrong!! |
We just recently purchased a king size bed. The three dogs that sleep with us (2 minature dachshunds and a 14 pound yorkie) and the cat had all the room and we had to sleep on the edge. Who is in control here? lol |
end of bed To overcome the possition in the pack issue we follow a few simple rituals, the dogs can come visit us at the top of the bed while were awake, then when its time to sleep the rule is dogs foot of the bed.This shows them they arent king or queen dog in the pecking order, as the covet the top of the bed.If at anytime someone is moving or wandering, and its just annoying and keeping us up, intot hier sleeping crates.They know that queen dog mommy will evict them if they don't stay put, and if they arent at the foot of the bed, behind my knees is alright, but any furthur up durring sleep time is eviction.This gives them a chance to be with us, but also shows them they have to follow rules set by us.It works anyways. |
1 Attachment(s) A pic of mine in bed. The only time she get grumpy is if you try to get her up before she's ready to get out of bed. She sleeps longer then I do..lol |
Hmmm, I don't think Mac or Mellie would even consider sleeping on the floor. |
All 3 of mine sleep with us - and way,way before the yorkies came into our lives, we had a doberman and he slept with us, believe it or not. We all managed and I agree, I couldn't sleep well if they werent there with us. Evey sleeps up against my back (I sleep on my side mostly), Rocco sleeps in the back of my knees where the legs bend and Maxx cuddles up against the bottom of my feet- I'm not kidding and its a perfect fit.:D |

Harley sleeps with me every night. :p My fiance sleeps on one side of me and Harley gets the other! I don't see anything wrong with letting your dog sleep with you, if they are well trained and don't act like fools on your bed at night. Something to consider, though: Harley is two years old and weighs 4 pounds; My breeder suggested that I teach him to NOT jump off the bed. You don't want a teeny Yorkie to hurt themself by jumping off the bed and accidently breaking something. I was able to teach him to just stand at the end of the bed and give me a small bark when he wants down. He's a good boy! :) Enjoy all of your sleepy babies!! |
I have a bed full. All four sleep with me, when it's time to go to bed they will beat me to it. I don"t sleep well unless they are all in bed. In winter Lucky my chow-mix will sleep in bed too. |
sleeping in the bed My Sebastian sleeps with me every night. When I first got him, he would sleep in his bed beside my bed and wake up around 2 or 3 and bark until I got up to put him in the bed with me. I tried to put him in the kitchen to see how long it would take for him to calm down. Absolutely miserable. He couldn't sleep and neither could I. Now, I guess you can say he got his way because he won't even sleep in his bed anymore!! Although, I will say that even though he is not fully potty trained, whenever he has to go in the middle of the night, he jumps off the bed and goes on his pad that I leave for him in my room. (He is a little over 4 months old) The very few times I want to have company, he does cramp my style a little but other than that, he is a joy to sleep with!! I am hoping as he gets older, he will get come into his own and want to at least start sleeping in his bed again. |
Best thing we did My 5 month old sleeps with us and it has been the best thing we did! We have had him 8 weeks (he was 15 weeks old when we got him). The first 6 weeks we put him in his kennel at the foot of the bed and he hated it! I was up 1 to 2 times in the night taking him out to go potty and now he sleeps through the night and will even snuggle for a while before I take him out! It's great! Titus' mom |
My boys do NOT want to housebreak at all, BUT once in bed, they never pee in the bed! I say to them 'Wanna go to bed?" and their ears go up and they look at me with so much excitement and then they bullet up the stairs to the bedroom and jump on the bed. One sleeps b/t my legs under the covers, if its really warm he'll sleep b/t my legs on top of the covers. The other one starts out near my head on a pillow, then moves to under the covers, when I wake up itss usually open my eyes to his eyes looking at me square in the face from about 2 inches away... wet kisses and he crawls under the covers curled up next to me until its time to get up! I really do not think I could sleep without my boys there! They are BBBAAADDD though!! We are all heavy sleepers... they don't hear a peep and sleep right through the night usually! God forbid there is a fire or someone breaks into my house! |
My Three Sleep With Me They All Have There Spots And We Get Whats Left They Have There Day Time Beds But When It Comes To Nite Time They Beat Us To Bed I Am So Used To Them There I Dont Think I Could Sleep If They Werent |
Barking Yorkie My beautiful yorkie is barking and like a well trained owner I am responding. Please help me regain some control. She just start and I have been using a gentile plant mister filled with water and saying "no bark" when she does it. Is that cruel? It is a gentile house plant mister. Not a harsh stream or anything. It has been very cold here and I haven't been able to exercise her like I normally would but she keeps barking at me and it's making me a little on edge. Plus I have a sheltie. What was I thinking???? Please help. |
Ozzie slept in the kitchen for several years (where his papers are) because he couldn't be trusted to have run of the house at night. The next few years he slept with my mom. For the past year, he has spent weekend and vacation nights with me (because I have to go to work; Mom is retired). During the past several months, he has become my "breathing stuffed animal" just about every night. He spent the weekend in ICU and just came home yesterday. While he can be a real bed hog, I have to admit that I REALLY missed him those few nights! He is so funny. He will flop down by me when he is ready to go to bed (if I am watching TV or online) and sometimes he will grunt as if to say "Aren't you ready yet?" When I AM ready, I always give him the option of sleeping in his own bed (which he does sometimes) by asking, "You want Yorkies to fly?" This started because as we were getting into bed, he initially would bring me one of his babies which I would throw onto the bed and then gingerly "toss" him up so he could retrieve it. |
My dogs sleep with me and believe me I am the pack leader hehe.. Actually if you really think about it packs sleep together so it shouldnt really change who pack leader is.. Dawn |
each of my girls have a bed on my bed, to sleep in.... so my preg. but wont wake them up when I move around(how spoiled is that lol). They can also sleep how every they want with out me needing to movie them. I nor they can sleep unless there are in their bed on my bed. My girls beds look like this but with out the hangy thing and its a different color lol I also lay it the other way, then what it shows in the pic. |
not on my bed! LOL hahahahahaha....my bf said they could not even get on the couch! Now they not only have the couch, they rule the bed too.:yelrotflm |
We have 6 that sleep in bed with us. We're thinking that maybe the double bed needs to be replaced... |
They definitely sleep with us! Both of them shares our bed. Samantha is somewhat torn between sleeping with her pups or with us, as she has not slept anywhere else but with us since she came on board. The first few days since she had her pups, we really saw her struglling, she tried to sneak in her pups by carrying it unto our bed one at a time, but we caught it and told her no (we don't want to chance it & squash the babies). She kind of mellowed out a bit, perhaps it is due to the pups would sleep more now than nurse, so we see her climbng on our bed every now and then just to cuddle. Then, when she hears one of her pups whimper, off she goes and be with them. It is so amazing how the maternal instinct kicks in. Then, when she is on the bed with us, she stays on the side where she has a good view of her pups. It is indeed a cute sight, kinda give you a warm & fuzzy feeling that this one is a very caring mom. One thing for sure, can't wait until the pups are old enough to join us!!! |
Me too, Pippa always sleeps with me! |

It seems I'll be having surgery in March, and I gotta tell ya - one of my hospital concerns is I don't think I'll be able to sleep in a bed all to myself! |
I LOVE having my two oldest sleep with me. Baby Brea isn't quite ready yet. She sleeps in her crate on a recliner in my room. The other day I went up to my room and took Brea with me. I ended up lying down for for a few minutes and brought her up on the bed with me. She looked at me like she had just won a prize! She sniffed around for a couple of seconds and then cuddled up right next to my face and went to sleep. She was in doggy heaven! |
Running Hot and Cold I guess I'm a mean yorkie mom, but I don't let Corkie in bed. For one thing, he runs hot and cold. At night I cafefully tuck him into bed as he likes and then get into my own. Around midnight he usually jumps out of his bed from under his blanket and lies on the wood floor for awhile to presumably cool off. By morning he's back in his bed. Our bed is so high, he could never do this as he can't jump off and couldn't jump back in. He has sofa privliges and is never locked up anywhere so I guess we make up for lack of bed privileges down the line. |

:) I always tell my husband that if someone where to see us sleeping, what must go threw their mind, its my husband on the wall and my 2 yorkies in the middle and than me. Thats the way they like to sleep, they have to be in the middle. |
My toy poodle always slept under the covers on top of my right leg. For 16 years. Tink has just started sleeping in the bed - kind of. She lays on top of the covers for a few minutes, and then gets into her bed which is on the bed next to me. Then she get back out and lays on the covers, and then back in her bed and over and over for about an hour (in between, playing with her toys). I let her out of her crate a couple of weeks ago to sleep with me because she was waking me up every 2-3 hrs. to potty. I put a diaper on her to let her sleep with me so I could get some sleep. Ha Ha. That didnt work. Hope she gets her spot figured out her pretty soon, or it's back in the crate with that little girl. |
The snoozing is good at Archie's My baby does not sleep with be throughout the night; he's happily in his crate until about 6 a.m. when he lets me know he wants to go "pee-pee." After his bathroom break, I swab him down with baby wipes and he comes into bed with me for a few hours, right under the covers. He attaches himself to my leg or side and close as he can, or he climbs up on my shoulder to rest his little peanut head. It's just really yummy and I wouldn'y trade it for anything. Yeah -- he probably does think he's the boss -- and he's right! The world won't stop tunring! :p |
