Lady and the Tramp

Most of us have seen "Lady and the Tramp" ... Lady, the adorable Cocker Spaniel Puppy sneaking into Jim Dear and Darling's room, and quite promptly hopping in the bed.

"Just for tonight," Jim Dear says firmly, tucking her in..

At six months old, Lady still sleeps in the bed...

How many of you thought, "The puppy would feel less lonely if he spent the first night with me?"

Then you get very comfortable with that nice little bundle curled up at the end of the bed, or the soft, furry little thing snuggled sweetly next to you.

Well, if you get any kind of dog that grows very big, it may be YOU who has to curl up at the bottom!

And those little ones? Before too long, they start getting up when THEY want to.

Just for everyone to know: In the wild, all dogs have their own sleeping space. They are in the same den and in close proximity to each other, but definitely with a nice amount of space.

So your puppy will adjust quite well to his own bed right from the beginning.

Please don't fall for that "just for the night" thought.
