She plays with them - if she knocks something out of her bed she will drag it back in as she plays with them in her bed - strange puppy. She does not play with toys much outside of her bed, but then Tikva is Tikva and has had to learn how to play as she was far too young when she came here, not even weaned. Now she is half way to being fully raw fed and B"H she is thriving. As for sleeping in my bed - no way!
Mouse sleeps in the bed with me and wife, I'm sure there is room for Tikva in yours. Though I don't have to worry, rolling over on Mouse, the wife does worry about him rolling over on her though.
That's an interesting question, does Mouse ever sleep on your face? It's a weird feeling. Sometimes I'll wake up and be kind of unable to move my head or open one eye...and someone is snoring against my forehead.
Head no, but he will slowly sneak acrossed your legs and you wake up with both your legs asleep. mainly he will lay between us and you wake up with a heavy head on your chest.
Luckily Tikva is quite happy in her crate. She actually goes in it after she has had her evening meal, which is [human] baby cereal mixed with half pet milk and half water. Considering that her crate is in my bedroom, the far end of the bungalow, it takes a bit of sense on her part to know that final meal = bed time = crate time. No way would I have her in bed with me - I would squish her!
How does she know? Bed in salon is for daytime sleeps/naps, crate in bedroom is for night [or it I want to leave her so I can pop over to the macolet. OK, so LO and Pereg never had a bed of their own but they would just flonk down wherever they were when they wanted a nap. Ziva also would just flonk down even though she might be just a metre away from her bed. Tikva? What, sleep on the floor when there is a comfy bed just a waddle away? I am really stuck about harnesses though. I took her to the Pension yesterday and they had the Chihuahua type harnesses but the smallest they have is the XS and it swamped her. The only places I can find online with XXS are from Amazon marketplace traders, all of whom will not supply Israel, or eBay where people want £20+ postage, for a £5 harness. Some even want up to £30 for postage. I know she is growing and will probably grow even more, but she is never going to be very big - I think she is going to be a real tiny even when fully grown. I have had Griffon puppies bigger than her at the same age.
Have you tried looking at cat or ferret harnesses? I couldn't find a dog harness small enough for Chloe until she was about a year old and ended up having to buy her a cat harness which I found at our local farmers market. She was only about 4.5 kgs fully grown.
Barbara, I have to buy online as there are no cat or ferret harnesses here. And of the very few organisations which will suppy Israel, there is no way I am going to pay so much for postage for a very inexpensive item.

Thanks Tina - I have ordered. The only thing that worries me a bit is that I ordered XXS and the checkout acceptance just says 2X Small. Oh well, or the harness will fit or it will not. There is no way I want to use a collar on Tikva as her neck is so fragile. Many thanks for all your help!
I have ordered some harnesses for my 6 little terrors from store.famouschihuahua.com, as they do the XL sizes that I need for Kobi & K9 as well as the L for Zeus & Dottie & M for Skye & Ziva
