I have a small american eskimo that is 1 1/2 yrs old and follows me anywhere. At night she's always sleeping in my room; somewhere. Normally it's under the edge of my bed. I get up alot of times during the night and she's right behind me; all of the time. I go back to bed and she does so. I went to the doctor about getting up to go thru out the night so much; I told him that my dog and I are exhausted from not getting very much sleep because of going all night; he laughed.
