I swore when I got my little dogs they weren't going to sleep with me.lol I thought it would uncomfortable having them in bed with me not to mention the fear of rolling over on them. Now they do sleep with me! I'm a softy. Do you have pets that sleep with you?

Wrangler would love to sleep with me. If I don't keep the bedroom doors closed he sneaks in and takes a nap on my bed when I'm not looking. When I catch him, he's in trouble and he knows it. He slinks around and gives me that sad eyed look that is so funny it's hard to keep a straight face and scold him at the same time especially since it's my fault for leaving the door open. He has his own bed, he just likes mine better.
He's a Great Dane / Boxer mix and way too big to share the bed with me. But the truth is, even if he were a little dog I wouldn't let him in bed with me. I have a chronic pain condition that makes me wake up too much as it is. I'd be too aware of his moving around and it would wake or keep me up.

They're cute and all dressed up too! They look like they'd be very good snugglers.

Oh yes. My cats are all over me at night. On good nights, they let me sleep!

I have four cats and I usually have at least two and sometimes three of them sleeping on the bed with me. I like the company

In my house you have no choice. we have dog and cat beds. They use them until you are sleep.
Then they are found when you wake up.My dogs will pull the covers back and sneak in bed with you.
you wake up with a dog that has pulled the covers over his ownself.
My cat well she only sleeps in my bed. She cannot sleep if I am not there.
Many times I have woke up to a cat on my head....lol

I usually end up in bed way before my husband, and along with me is one of my cats, Mickey. I sleep on my side and she curls up by my belly. More than once when my husband comes to bed and attempts to put his arms around me, little jealous Mickey will either bite or slap at his hand! Well, she was there first after all.

People tell us all the time oh that is nasty you let the dogs sleep in the bed with you....YES! I do not because I have allergies but my cat lately will not stop getting in my bed when I am sleep.
The dogs get in bed under the cover with my kids. I come in and my kids are arm over a dog sleep.
I think if they have a close relationship with their pet so what.
You are suppose to love your pet, why do you have it if your just going to keep it outside barking day and night.
We keep lint roller makers and fabric softner companies in business. but my children are happy.
All of our pets are rescues. I think that them sleeping with the kids give them a sense of security.

Heyya panzerswifey! I would say your right abut them being more secure. That's great you have rescue dogs. I have one myself. Dogs are paack animals so for their comfort they need to feel like part of the "pack". Sleeping with your children surely makes them very happy. As well as your children. I know what you mean about keeping those companies in business..I keep febreeze in business.Thanks for responding.

I never sleep with my pets because there isn't any room with both my husband and me in the bed. I've tried several times to allow my cat to crawl up in bed with us or even when my husband leaves for work, but she always keeps you awake, tapping on your head and nibbling at your feet or pulling on the blankets. I think its kind of cute sometimes. But maybe every once in awhile, I will let her nap with me in the middle of the day, when I'm taking a break from house work.

Moochie does not sleep with me in my bed but we sleep in the same room. I make sure that he's asleep before i go to bed. He's the type who can't be alone that's why i make my presence felt just to give him comfort. Back when he was still a pup, we used to sleep in the sofa because he's just too small to fit in. Now he's a big boy though he's still small hehe..
