Sharing A Bed With Your Dogs

Lol, your bed? I don't think so, looks like it belongs to them...I am sharing a picture of Penny and Ciara that was taken almost 2 years ago. As you can see, they think that my son's bed is theirs...I don't mind and I know that if anyone were to break in, my son will be safe..

Hello LilyoftheThorns Before I was married to Mrs. Turner I used to let my dog(s) sleep with me. Usually it was just one dog, but on occasion it was two dogs. They were Scottish Terriers, therefore, relatively small dogs. Also, I had a large, king size bed. Now that I am with Mrs. Turner, I do not want anything to come between us, including my dog(s). Our Border Collie will often sit with us in the bed while we're watching television, or if she is scared of the thunder, or various other times, but fortunately for us, she prefers her own bed. We haven't yet had to kick her out of our bed as she seems to get disgusted with us and leaves on her own. Peace

I have to agree with your sister. I am not a real big animal lover either, so maybe that is why. My bed is my bed, and there is no animal sleeping in it with me.

You are not crazy at all! All those who own a dog (or have owned dogs in the past) know what a pleasure is to share the bed with the family dogs. My dog sleeps in bed with me during the day (in case I take an afternoon nap) but she prefers her armchair for the night sleep. I suppose I snore or move too much, or else I don't know any other reason she doesn't like to sleep in bed. She stays there with me until I fall asleep but then she gets down and move to her place, in the armchair. Why do you think she doesn't like to sleep in bed with me?

I have a lovely new cat named Limboo. She is very cute and lovely to every one of us in the family. She has her own place for shelter as well as to live. We had given about five thousand more more rupees for the house of our Limboo and I just used to put here inside the cage during the night time. I don't allow her to used to get into the the bed. Well she makes them untidy

Oh my goodness no! You are just fine! I would miss it if my dogs were not in bed with me. I have a dog and 2 cats that sleep with me. I do, however, rule the bed, and I do move them out of the way when I am sleeping. It does not matter, they just mover over and Poof, go back to sleep again, LOL. I also loved to sleep with my pet rooster (yes you can get pet chicken diapers, lol) ... believe it or not, I miss sleeping with that rooster. Pet chickens are on the rise, and are called 'house hens'. It's great for kids who are allergic to dogs or cats. Because you can hug a chicken, but you cannot hug a canary. Great pets! So believe me, if I slept with a chicken, you are not strange at all for sleeping with a dog :D Take Care! Have fun!

Sweety, that's no problem, you just need a bigger bed. When she was younger, Lucy liked to sleep in my bed. At about 9pm I would tell her "Bedtime" and off she'd go then she would make room for me when it was my time to go to bed. Now she likes to sleep outside. Roxy and Benji like to sleep with me. Roxy sleeps at my feet or between the 2 pillows (I have a queen sized water bed), Benji sleeps at the side I'm facing to start...growls for me to scratch his tummy and ends up sleeping curled into my back. Sometimes, Banjo, the cat will join us too, lots of the time in winter. I love my little guys so much.

Oh, you're definitely crazy! j/k! My pup sleeps wherever she wants and with whoever she wants. Sometimes she will sleep with me, sometimes it's with my hubby, and sometimes she even sleeps with our oldest. However, it seems she prefers our youngest the best as she's almost always next to him. And although I'm a little jealous, I love it...especially when she peers out from under the covers. There's just something about it. It's so darn adorable. Happy mylotting!

My dogs have their own house and are never allowed inside our home so I can't really relate with those who have their dogs living inside their very own home and sleeping even with them or sharing bed with them. I have friends who allow their pets inside their room and share bed with them but me no I don't allow that. Anyway to each his own, whatever pleases you then go ahead and enjoy. As for me, the master bedroom is only for me and my husband and the other bedrooms are for my little ones.

Well, I would not call you crazy, but it is certainly something that I would not do or allow. I could not handle the smell or the hair everywhere. I prefer to have a nice clean bed to sleep in, not a dog kennel. But each to their own! I put in place a rule when we got a dog that she was not allowed to go on the carpeted areas of our house, so this meant that by getting to a bed, she would have to go onto carpet to get there, so a bed would be a double no no. Nevertheless, she was caught on our bed a few times and got quite a yelling at. She always knew she was in the wrong and started running away before anything was even said. She was always trying to break the rules that one! We also caught her on the couch a few times in the mornings. She would break out of the laundry where her bedroom was and go and sleep on the couch!

i don't allow dogs and cats sleep together with me. They can jump on it and play for short time only when they are really clean (after taking a bath), sleeping, no way...i really don't want to get much their hairs on my bed...

haha what a cute picture, theres no room for you! i would just buy another bed let them have one to themselves, that is if theyd want to sleep without you ,they may just go over to your bed. i have a small dog, and she isnt tall enough to jump on my bed so i dont have any problem with her trying to sleep with me. though she would if she could as i found out when my mattress was on the floor i woke up being spooned by this 8 pound puppy. i have never picked her up to put her on the bed either. i am very particular about my bed also and wouldnt like the smell. thought my family dog has always slept in my moms bed, sometimes under it and i thought it was quite adorable he usually ends up with his head on the pillow just like mom. i think if i had a bigger dog id occasionally let him sleep at the end maybe with a blanket overtop of the comforter. sweet dreams!! :)

hahahaha that's really cute! I also used to sleep with 3 dogs when I was still single. It's just sad that I have to leave them with my mom when I already got married. It's very comforting to sleep beside them, especially when they get cold during midnight, and when you wake up you realized they're already stuck in your underarms! lol. Oh, I missed them when I saw your photo...

That's funny...I sleep with three dogs as well. Our minipinscher does all he can to get under my covers. My other dog, winter ( I think she's a Japanese Spitz but mixed with another unknown breed. Another dog of ours is a Shih-poo or a Terrier mix. It's quite crowded because my sister and I sleep in the same bed as well but we love it. Our dogs, are always inside the house and they only go out to pee and poop and they're very clean. I think if your dogs are clean you don't have to worry about anything...except the space to sleep in in your case! :)

My 2 dogs rule the bed and they are smaller dogs. One sleeps in the middle of my and my hubby and the other one lays on top of one of our pillows. usually ends up being on top of our heads in the middle of the night. If they don't have enough room they will let you know by stretching and pushing you away with their legs it is hilarious but I wouldn't have it any other way. i love having them in bed with me

We dont have dogs, but we do have a cat, and he sleeps with us every night. I think it's great that your dogs sleep with you.

My dog doesn't rule my bed but she does sleep with us every night! I like her there, she is like one of our kids. She is a BIG dog so sometimes we have to push her over and things but she is such a good girl. When my husband is not home at night I love her next to me, I feel safe and protected. =)

That is not something that I would like to do. What about if the dog poo your bed? It is kind of messy to find dog's poo in a bed.

My dog has the freedom to roam around the house and my bed is very low so occasionally she will decide to lie on the bed. The rottweiler tended to be the thing that got me out of bed, by jumping all over me. But they never ruled my bed, if they took my space I will gladly push them out the way. Unfortunately my dog decided to start licking my pillows which is fairly unpleasant.

I personally do not like sharing my bed with dogs. Do not get me wrong, dogs are really cute and furry but they tend to stink a bit. I do not want my bed to have that dog smell so I prefer dogs to sleep in their own bed or on the floor. But I have many friends who sleep with their dogs. Sleeping with your dogs is perfectly normal. I just prefer otherwise. Happy mylotting.
