Do your Yorkies Sleep with you?

[mkbartz]

What happend to my original post?

[kingston_james]

lol, I don't know... the Post Muncher probably got it

To answer your question, no I don't let Kingston sleep with me. I'm Alpha, not him!

[PrincessDiana]

Franklin and Maggie do not sleep with us either. They have before but it's uncomfortable for me. Also, I don't want them to get in the habit of having to have us sleep with them in case they need to stay with someone else.

Ok, this is what my ORIGINAL post said:

My two year old yorkie, Gypsy, sleeps with us and wakes up every two hours during the night. She just want to gives us kisses and I tell her to lie down and eventually, she goes to sleep for another two hours and then we repeat the entire rountine again. I assume this has something to do with the fact that her favourite hobby is sleeping (during the day). However, She gets plenty of excersize during the day.

However, she ONLY does this when she sleeps with US! She slept with my little brother when he was visiting and slept all the way through the night (and also sleeps like champ when she has sleep overs at "Grandma's")

Anybody have any tips? My husband's heart will break if I make him move her off the bed. It is kind of funny because our 15 month old yorkie, Prissy, also sleeps with us and she sleeps like a rock. In fact I have to wake her up in the morning so that she can pee before we leave for work.

If you dog's don't sleep with you, do you kennel them, or do they sleep in a bed in your room?

Kingston has his own crate which we keep next to the bed. It's nice because we can still comfort him with soft words if he needs it, but we also have our own space too. Plus, he still has accidents and this way we know he won't go when we sleep because he won't go in his bed.
It also helps though that he sleeps through the night.

I think your doggy keeps waking up because he's sleeping next to you guys and when he sees you he wants to play, play, play

Absolutely Ellie sleeps with me.
Neither of us would have it any other way.

She doesn't wake me up at night unless she hears something and barks and in that case she needs to. She hates her crate and loves the bed, so she gets her way.

I dont even let Junior on my bed. MY bed is mommys big bed and he has his big boy bed. I plan to keep it this way for ever....
I have to ask because its going to bother me (you dont have to answer) but how do you and the hubby get "Quality time" if the dogs are there in the bed with ya???
again you dont have to answer but its just another reason Junior has his own bed!

lol, I was wondering that too!

I also don't like Kingston on the bed... I like him to know that there's a chain of command, and while we love him dearly, WE are in charge of HIM... though he does try to make it the other way around!

[blueeyes_jd]

oh man I wish I had somthing to say that would help.... my Gracie sleeps like a rock... but she sleeps with us... but she only likes sleeping next to my hubby or in the middle of us... lol hubby trys to put her next to me... but she always goes back on his side... lol no matter how hard I try.... she NEVER stays on my side....

Chloe sleeps in a big playyard that holds her bedding and potty pads. We used a playyard and not a crate for her because she is pee-pad trained so she can go on the pad at night. Our other dog is bigger and is outside potty trained , so we have always used a crate for her. They seem to be O.K. with it. The playyard and crate are in our back laundry room area.

I think she wakes you up all through the night because she can ..

My son woke up every two hours without fail until he was over two years old. He wanted a drink , a hug , or just to say " Love Mommy" (that did melt me everytime ) and we all knew he did it because he could...

I think your pup knows you will wake and give her the kisses , thats why she does it

[phfgkl]

Nope we sleep in our bed, they sleep in their beds. We sleep in the bedroom, three of them sleep in the family room and the little one in the laundry room in a cage, just until she's out of the chewing stage. She's housebroken, but, still wants to chew wires.
