The chances of your Dachshund sleeping on a blanket on the floor are NIL!! Best cuddlers ever - and frankly you could have a king size bed and a 10 lb. Dachshund will manage to hog the whole bed. They love to cuddle and have to be right next to you at all times - so you end up hanging from the edge of the bed. Don't bother trying to sneak to another room - Dachshunds can count - you get enough time to go to bathroom and back. I would suggest a ramp to the bed and sofa - they are readily available these days at pet stores - time was when you had to make your own. Of course training a 7 year old to use it might be another matter entirely. There are steps available, but I like the ramp better - stairs aren't the best for a Dachshund, plus there is the jumping and missing a step leading to a header down the stairs. Hope all works out when he comes home - and don't forget, puppy will want to coat, sweater - you name it. How I miss my guy cuddled up under my sweatshirt.
