LOL, they breath! Mine have slept with me for over 9 years and no problems there. I sleep with 4! two chi's and two Papillons. Even one of the Pap's likes to be under the covers. I have him at the foot of the bed, and I wrap him in his own blanket. Beth

Happy Friday everyone....whew...long week (and it was a short one for me).... I gotta ask - and I've asked this of my vets as well - they just say 'I don't know they just do'. My Timmy (schnoodle) and Charlotte (chi) - like to burrow down under the covers to sleep (all night)....I worry so much about them being able to breathe - but they insist and keep burrowing down under the blanket and quilt I have on my bed-Timmy goes down to my hip and curls up against my stomach if I'm on my side. I keep Charlotte up near my hip so I can check her throughotu the night to be sure she's still breathing (I don't sleep through the night ever)-but she would go to my knees if I let her. And wow - talk about generating the heat - whew... Do you ever wonder how in the world are they able to breathe? Lynda
