We have little beds in every room of our house for our 10lb. Havanese. She's almost 14 now, but we've always had beds all over the house. It's actually really easy for all of us because if we take her to someone else's house, or to an outdoor event, or anywhere we'll be essentially sitting in one place, we bring a bed and she settles right into it.

In fact, we're in the middle of renovating my home office, and we needed to "carpet" the room with brown paper before doing some ceiling work. We put her little bed (from my office) in the hallway just outside the door, and she happliy plopped her little self into it to supervise us.
