| My miniature Poodle sleeps with me. She has since she was a puppy. When I get a Yorkie he or she will sleep with me also. |

| My babies sleep in their own beds which are on the floor right beside mine. I have occassionally tried sleeping with my babies through the years but I just can't get any rest for fear of crushing one of them!

| No one sleeps if Louie doesn't sleep When we brought louie home I tried to crate train him. Well he was having none of that. I bought him a special doggy with a heatbeat. All he did was cry all night until someone came downstairs and slept with him on the couch. We tried the crate in our room but he still seemed to cry. Well after about 4 weeks of no sleep, It was like having a newborn. My husband decided to bring him to bed with us. I was so scared because our bed is so high. Well that little boy came up and kissed me on the hand and snuggled next to my leg and slept through the whole night. Now he sleeps with us every night and everyone sleeps!!! So do we have a dog? well I say No.. I call him my little kid.. Loved and very spoiled.

| lol, this thread is too funny! We crated Valentino for the first two weeks, but now he sleeps with us every night , and he knows when the lights go out , it's bed time. he curls up right under my arm, and sleeps the whole night, and waits till i take him out in the morning. and sometimes when hes really skwirming around i put him on the floor, and an hour later he cries to come back up, and how can i resist |

| I never even tried to crate train my Murfee. He has slept with me since day one. He has never had an accident on the bed. He is the boss so my husband and I do what he wants. I am having surgery in May and will be in rehab for 3 weeks...don't know what Murfee or I will do. He's my baby!!! |

| Not anymore Izzy used to sleep with me for about a month. Now he's in his crate at night. I couldnt take the getting up and walking on the bed thing at 3am! Especially on worknights!! He whined when I started putting him in the crate but now he's fine. He still kind of gives me the look like, "dang I wish I could sleep there"...hehehe

| You got too be KIDDING I would not have my 3 babies sleep nowhere else but with me or one of my children or husband. They are clean happy and a big part of our family. If you truly love you pet you wouldn't even dream of doing what they really love doing being a part of your heart and soul. My Clhoe, Venus and Midas sleep with me and everyone knows they come first. Just looking at them I would never call the dog whisper and what report that they are in control LOL. Please anyone that doesn't like a animal in the bed I think they are better then some people. They don't ask for much space and don't hog the covers etc........ this is the way I feel on this subject. Susiezeus,Clhoe,Venus,Midas and the rest of my family |

| Different strokes for different folks Nah ur not the oddball we all have our own ways that work for us. Personally my Bebe sleeps with me and my husband but on my side. At first it was "we may squish him" but not a chance -he climbs right under the covers and sleeps right next to my belly. He teases Daddy and will snuggle with him for a while and then comes back to Mom. He gets up promptly when we do 4:15am to be walked and if we are sleeping in on the weekend he hops on Daddys head and licks his ear until he gets up and walks him...teeheehee wouldn't have it any other way |

| Teagan sleeps with me! She does have a way of hogging the bed, though - I guess I've just gotten used to it.

Jessy, uless you have experienced a problem your should'nt say this. Buddy has slept with me since he was 1yrs old. He is a very good boy however he did something very frightening to me, not once but twice. He attacked me in bed during the night and wanted me out! Yes, it is strange but it did happen. He is now banned from the bed forever and will sleep on the floor in his bed for the rest of our lives. Not all dogs are the same. I have no idea where it came from but believe me it will never happen again. Unless your dog experiences domanince behavior at times, someone who has never had to deal with the problem should never LOL about it! People forget that Yorkies are still just dogs! | |

I am so sorry if my post offended you. I understand your reason and you are right........'unless I have experienced a problem I shouldn't have said anything'. The thing is, I haven't experienced a problem and until a problem does happen to us personally.......I would say otherwise. It was my personal opinion and it I am not looking for anyone to agree with me. While I may not do what others do........I respect it and wouldn't want to try to change their minds. I still stand on my opinion........and will continue to sleep with me and hubby on the bed until there is a reson not to. I am so sorry Buddy did this and I am truly glad you are okay. Everyone has to do what works for them not what the 'norm' seems to be out there. I never crate trained mine........I don't believe in them (doesn't make me a bad person). They do have their own room and space though. When they need to be 'crated' they go in there instead.........no behavioral problems here. While this may sound crazy to others........it's what works for me and my family. Again, I am so sorry to have stepped on your toes or hurt your feelings. Sometimes, it's best not to try to take things personally.......especially if a post was not directed at you and it was a personal opinion. Afterall, it the world wide web.......I wasn't literally LOLing. Thanks for the advice though.........I will most definitely keep it to myself and in mind. I thank you for it too. I am done with this thread and posting personal opinions. Good luck, Jess

Jess, No offence taken at all. I just wanted to say that this issue is a real one for many and unless you personally experience it there is no way you can understand it. Yes, I find it very strange that a loving well trained dog could go crazy just because it wanted to protect something but it does happen. Scary also to be at the other end of a mouth full of teeth when they actually belong to you own pet. I have learned so much from YT and it certainly has helped me understand more about not only Yorkies but dogs in general. Who ever thought that raising them was so much like raising children. | |
