chihuahuas are notorious for their bedtime rituals. some like to sleep in their own little beds and some like to sleep on the floor in their owner’s bedroom, but most chihuahuas like to sleep next to their owners in bed all snuggled under the sheets.
teaka the famous chihuahua loves to hog the bed and burrows until she finds the perfect spot to park herself for the night. usually it’s right next to mommy, but on occasion she will end up at mommy’s feet, at mommy’s backside and even the other side of the bed sleeping as a person would. it remains a mystery to mommy as to how on earth she breathes under all those sheets, but it sure is funny to hear teaka snore once she drifts off.

My little chihuahua does exactly the same thing. I have no idea how she doesn’t suffocate!

At bedtime, Bandito finds his way under the sheets and curls up in between Brandon’s legs! It must, sometimes, get too warm for Bandito because at some point during the night, he makes his way back up to my pillow to snuggle in my neck. So cute!!!

Sophia will fluff up her blanket ” roughly” until it perfect for her and then makes a huffing noise and passes out”.
most times she wiggles down the sheets and curls her body to us.. I love my Sophia..

hi jaquie,
teaka the famous chihuahua is usually ready for bed around 9 – 10 pm. as she gets older, the earlier it gets. when she was a chihuahua puppy she would want to play til the wee hours of the night

My chihuahua plays football ! True story… she has a tiny ball and she flips it onto her own back and lets it roll down until it drops, then she trys to kick it using her back legs. You would have to see it to belive it lol. I have not learnt her this trick, she has done it herself since she was a puppy. I think she may have been a footballer in another life lol

Mr. Pants has taken over his Mama’s bedtime ritual. Both Toobie & now Mr. Pants when it’s bedtime will take over my pillow! I will move him, go to lay down & before my head hits the pillow he’s on it again. When I finally get my pillow back he will then plop right on my head! I guess he’s telling me “This is MY pillow Mom”. Lol My babies seem to think they are human, rather than pups. twitter.com/o0ochillyo0o

my long haired chihuahua, Mighty (ha ha), only sleeps on blankets and sheets with our scents on them. so when we bought him a new dog bed, we had to put a sheet from MY bed on it so he would sleep on his new bed! he also likes sleeping on one of our beds and some times gets under the blankets!
