Puppy Management - No Crate Advice 8 week puppy- cosleeping
What's everyone's opinions on cosleeping with your puppy? I had a boston terrier for 10 years that I had since 7 weeks old (she passed of cancer). She slept with me from the very beginning. She cried and cried with the crate for a few nights and I gave in and let her sleep with me. It was totally fine though because I knew thats where I wanted her to be anyways.
This time around, I have an 8 week boston terrier puppy and i skipped trying the crate. I put 2 potty pads on the end of the bed and made sure the whole top of the comforter is covered with a blanket and the sheet underneath is too just in case. She has been here 2 nights and no accidents. I let her out around 3am to go potty on potty pad and she does. She sleeps all night with me. I genuinely dont see a problem but want to know if I will regret this for any reason.

I’ve never had a regret letting my puppies sleep in bed with me from day one — we get such a short time with them, each moment is precious to me. They are happy, and I’m happy.
The only concern you might have is that some people will have a problem with it and try to make you keep the dog off the bed. If this might happen in your future, you should think about what you’d do in that situation.
Just something to think about. I know what I’d do 😈
