I’ve heard it repeatedly: your Pomeranian should not sleep with you in the bed or they might fall. I know this advice well, but some nights (okay, more like every night), I can’t resist that sweet furry face looking up at me with those sad puppy dog eyes!
The Occasional (Every Night) Slumber Party
When their daddy is out of town, I love having a “slumber party” with the girls. However, Sophia has this strange habit of sleeping as close to the edge of the bed as possible. One night, she even fell off the bed! I was so worried, but she shook it off and trotted down the hallway like nothing happened. Still, I didn’t want that to happen again.
Preventing Sophia from Falling Off the Bed
I started brainstorming ways to prevent her from falling. I tried to “train” her to sleep in the middle of the bed, but Sophia had other ideas and would waddle right back to the edge. That’s when I thought: wouldn’t it be awesome if they made king-sized guard rails, like the ones kids use in their “big kid beds”? That way, Sophia could sleep as close to the edge as she liked, and I wouldn’t have to worry about her falling and getting hurt.
Head Rest for Sophia
While searching online for a solution, I didn’t have much luck. I didn’t need anything huge—Sophia only weighs three pounds, so when she falls, it’s more like she stretches out and slips off the bed. Then, while walking through a store, I spotted some pool noodles – those brightly colored foam tubes that kids use in the pool. Inspiration struck! I bought one and placed it under the fitted sheet on the edge of the bed.
The Perfect Solution
The Perfect SolutionIt worked perfectly! Sophia seems to love it and uses it as a little pillow. Every night, I find her resting her head on it. She’s such a doll! I highly suggest trying this trick if you’re facing the same issue with your Pomeranian. For around $2, you really can’t beat it!
