Where do you corgis sleep? -
02-06-2008, 01:42 PM
I was woundering where you corgis sleep... right now my puppies sleep in there crate and Megan sleeps in my parents room. i want my pups to sleep in my room but becuase they are only 5 months i dont think it is a good idea to let them go up and down stairs and i do not know how nice it will be to carry a 16 pound male pups and a 12.5 pound girl up and down the stairs.
So i guess another question is when did your pups start going up the stairs and sleeping in your bed?

Waeryn sleeps on my bed when she is calm enough and in her crate if she doesn't settle down enough. I usually put her to bed in her crate a little while before I'm ready to go to sleep, then after she falls asleep I gently and slowly move her to my bed. She always wakes up when I do this, but a lot of the time she'll just go right back to sleep.

Chip and Dale sleep in bed with us. I waited until Chip was semi potty trained before he stayed on the bed but Dale stayed on the bed the very first night we got him and he slept in my arms. Taffy still sleeps in her crate and she is a little over four months old. I carry both boys to bed at night and put Taffy in her crate. Chip will go to bed on his own but Dale refuses to go until I do and it is just as easy to scoop him up and carry him. Our house is all on one level so no worries about stairs.

Bad habit: I fall asleep in my recliner most nights with both Charlie and Tangent on my lap. In the wee hours, I get up and carry Charlie to his crate which is next to my bed. All three kitties sleep on the bed, for the few hours we're there.

Both Beppo and George sleep in bed with me and my fiance. They never sleep on his side though. Beppo sleeps on my pillow and eventually takes it over at some point and George will sleep either behind my back or between my fience and myself. I love having them in bed, but when I want to roll over, George is dead weight when he sleeps and its hard to move him.

Westin has a gated area just outside our bedroom door and connected to both is sleeping crate AND his traveling crate. When we first got him he slept in his crate in our room, but as he got older, he would be awake when we were ready for bed, so it was easier to just let him have his area where he could go to sleep when and where he felt like it. He WILL NOT go to sleep unless he can see/hear us. He will bark, whine and cry until we magically re-appear, so we baby gate the door frame to our room and he sleeps up against it on his pillow-bed type thing usually. lol.
Long explanation for a very simple question.

Taylor has a mattress with a sheepskin rug overlapping it, beside my side of the bed - and that is where he often sleeps, otherwise he can sleep anywhere he chooses in the house - and he varies the places/rooms he sleeps but it is always on wool carpet. He has been that way ever since he was a house trained pup.

Duncan squeezes under my husband side of the bed, whether he is home or not to sleep. Chloe has a bed at the foot of our bed to sleep on, but she usually moves around the house to sleep. She'll go from in front of the bedroom door (which is why I have a nightlight there now, we kept stepping on her in the dark...poor thing!), to her bed, to my side of the bed. They both have free run of the house to sleep. We don't allow them to sleep with me. My first corgi cured me of that. She would hog the bed, my pillow, lay up against me, just made sleeping very uncomfortable and almost impossible.

Pip sleeps in his crate and once in a while on the bed. He has a a cushy set up (I call it his condo) with a thick, plush crate pad, a thinner, smaller pad that he re-arranges to his liking, and a bowl of water. I have the crate door arranged so it can't accidentally close on him, and he has freedom to roam the house, but elects to stay in the bedroom when I'm sleeping. Sometimes he finds a spot in front of the bedroom windows when I turn in, but he is always in his crate when I wake up.
When he was a puppy he would pull the smaller pad out of the crate and drag it to the spot where he wanted to to take his day time naps.

My 2 sleep with me. Cody starts out close then moves to the foot of the bed on the other side to a crate pad and Katie sleeps at the head of the bed and tries to share my pillow. I put towels on my pillows and comforter that goes by my face during the day because Katie sleeps on them all day and dog hair gets in my nose at night.

Shippo just walks into his crate at night when he gets tired. When I go to bed, I close it and cover it with a sheet (it always made him feel better). He's liking his crate a great deal lately. I think it's the big squishy blanket I just bought him that goes inside it at night lol...

Charlie outgrew the little 24" kennel a few months ago, but I still hadn't taken down the 48" x 30" crate from my Rottweiler. I took the door off the little crate and put it inside the huge wire crate. I also have always kept the wire crate covered with a sheet (except the door side so he can see out) for more of a "den" feeling.
