Thinking about allowing our silkie terrier to share our bed at night..?

She's about 8 months and crate training is going horribly wrong. We live in a small 1bedroom condo and normally she sleeps in our bathroom with the door closed. She's been fine with that but we haven't because we're having to "hold-it" till morning. So we got a crate and tried to keep her in there with the bathroom door open...haven't slept since. Howling, barking, whining, for hours and hours, the whole night. It's been several nights. During the day and even when we're getting ready for bed at night she'll sometimes climb in to bed with us and nap. She doesn't seem to mind if we make noises, and has yet to ever try and bite us or bark if we wake her. She's almost housebroken so we're pretty confidant that she'd get off the bed to go potty if she needed to. She's done so before if she naps on our bed. I guess our concern is if it is sending the wrong signals to her if we just allow her to sleep with us. Everywhere we look, it's split 50/50.
