No, not allowed on the bed or any furniture

2-3 sleep with us every night! 1 9 pounder, and 2 90 pounders!

My dog is very independent and likes his own bed. However, every night sometime in the middle of the night he finds his way onto mine and sleeps by my feet. I've accidentally kicked him a few times because I had no idea he was there.

I have two German shepherds that sleep with me. They don't stay in bed all night but they always stay nearby.

I've always been this way as well, although the current pooch has talked me into the couch.

Not a chance he's allowed in bed. Dirt and dog hair all over my bed? No thank you.

If we had a dog it would be out of the question. Would make the bed too crowded.

The cats sleep on our bed at night when it suits them. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with one on each side of my legs and find myself pinned

I'm with you there. If it's got more than two feet, those feet had better be on the floor.

Yes, all of them used to. Lately, the new guys are all crated at night unless I’m sleeping alone. They are allowed in pairs on the couch/chairs, but there is a favored one and she knows it (the boys are intact and they occasionally sneak off to cause trouble)..

Hell no. They put enough fur around the house already. I don't want them shedding in my bed. Plus, they walk around outside. I don't want dirt in there, either.

Never. Our labs sleep in their dog beds beside our bed. They're not allowed on any furniture either. Our old chocolate lab used to sneak up on our brown leather couch occasionally though, because she thought we couldn't see her there.

Yes. Sometimes he will sleep there all night and sometimes he will go lay down in his own bed.

7 year old American Brittany wants to be with his people.

Of course he allows us to sleep in bed with him!



Of the 4, he's the only one that sleeps on the bed.

Yup, every night. A Beagle and a mix breed. Beagle is 14 so she needs help getting up. And the cat joins the group after everyone falls asleep.

Wouldn’t have it any other way.

The feral/stray momma kitty I caught will sleep on me. I have a bigger pillow that I use for when I sleep on my side and she will situate herself in the nook, half on my rib cage and half on the pillow.
The annoying part is she has to announce herself w/ several meows when she enters or leaves the room.

I have two, both big ones. I made the mistake a few years ago of bringing one of them up onto the bed one night when he was recovering from surgery and wasn't feeling good and was crying. He settled right down and went to sleep. Ever since then he figures it's his bed and he just shares it with me at night. His older brother gets to feeling left out sometimes and wants to join us. Both of them at once makes it hard for me to sleep, though. For one thing it gets just too warm with a dog on either side of me, and because they both want to snuggle I end up stuck in the middle like a mummy in a sarcophagus, unable to move.

Yes. 80lbs German Shepard likes to lay between my wife and I. Every once in a while he will go into alarm mode early in the morning and wake me up, but it isn’t an every day thing. He sheds like crazy, so his hair gets everywhere no matter if he physically sits on it or not. If it is real cold, he might stay with us all night, but usually he gets up and moves somewhere else at some point. I think it might be when our snoring gets too annoying! Overall, there are minor annoyances, but I don’t mind the big lug staying in bed with us. Now, when the dog, me, my wife, and both kids are all in the bed, THAT gets annoying! I buy them a nice, big house and everyone tries to pile into MY bed!

My 22lb cat and 60lb husky sometimes kick me out of the bed.

Yes, our current Boston sleeps with us. We used to have two Boxers that slept with us too, my wife would say that she didn't know who snored the most - me or the dogs

Clark and I have a deal, I don't sleep in his bed and he doesn't sleep in mine. At least not while I'm in it. When he's alone in the house, the people bed can get a little warm. I think it is as much about the view out the bedroom window as comfort.

Nope. Lots of ticks around here; if I miss one on the dog, I don't want it jumping off her on my bed.
