Having a Bichon frise dog means giving up your own bed. From the moment I got Danie she slept with me in bed. She followed me anywhere. She would sit on my lap for hours, not budging until I move. She was treated like an infant, the princess of the house. When I decided to keep her daughter Yuki, my bed became even smaller. She's even more demanding than her mom. I have a king size bed but when we sleep, they prefer curling up next to me. They even have their own set of pillows, but they still prefer mine. Photo is of Yuki on my pillow.

I cannot say I blame them for wanting to snuggle up with you. All I would say is why wouldn't they want to do that? I know I would.

When I was a kid I'd always prefer snuggling next to my dad. It was the most comfortable place for me to sleep. I did that every weekend when I started school. I would sleep between him and my mom until I was 12. I'm so used to doing that. When I sleep on my side and I have pillows in front of me and behind me. Now I don't have to do that coz Danie and Yuki are my pillow replacement.

@Ineeddentures Craig is 21 and he still sleeps next to me when I asked him to. People's mind are crazy. My sister's son is 15 and still sleeps with his parents. My sisters doesn't want him to have his own room. That's how it is in my family. I guess because we only have one child.

@toniganzon Wow If a mom and dad slept with a 12 year old girl between them these days and anyone found out all hell would break loose lol no matter who the girl was. Shows how people's mind have gone bad these days. Can't do anything innocent with kids now , people will always think the worst. You were lucky you had such loving parents. I had a loving mother, just not in a very normal way

I love sleeping next to them as well. But every time I get up middle of the night to pee, when I return, the two would be on my pillows.

@AmbiePam I do enjoy that though. And I love snuggling with them. I sleep better when they're next to me.

Yes, they have their own but she and Danie would always use mine.

It's comforting to have them next to me.

Always. The moment they go upstairs, the first thing they do is run into the room and jump on to my bed.

It's really nice that your dogs sleep with you.

This type dog looks like those toys you can get now.

Right. They look like toys and when I have their hair grow long, they look like cotton balls.

They really do. I feel much more comfortable when they're sleeping next to me.

Our Westie was just the same. It’s a dog thing.

I have had other dog breeds before but they didn't like doing what my Bichons do now.

I love these little dogs, they are so cute. They must smell your scent on their pillow.

Yeah but that happened while I went out on a pee break middle of the night. When I came back, my space in bed was already occupied.
