Do you sleep with your pet?

I must say that I don't sleep with my dog but that she sleeps with me!

Yes - my dog sleeps with me, and on occasion, so do the cats. Lucky my poochie is little - around 12 pounds - since he likes to take his half of the bed space, right in the middle.

It's more like ... my cat sleeps with me, but only when she wants to. When she does, if I'm not in the right position for her to take her exact spot, she will meow and/or walk on me until I wake up and move! Sometimes she just wants to sleep near me but not with me.

Growing up, I was always happy when the dog chose to sleep with me! My first dog, Sheba (best in the whole wide world, bar none

would climb up on my bed for a few minutes, but as she was a Shepherd mix, she would then patrol the rest of the house and family until everyone was settled in for the night, then sleep in my parents' bed.

Gracie, however, one of the subsequent family dogs, 3/4 Great Dane, would climb up on my bed at my invitations, and curl herself in a tight little ball by my feet/ During the night, though, I'd wake up pushed against the wall, and she'd be sprawl out across most of the bed! I'l scold her, she;d get down, reposition myself, and she'd climb back up - and repeat!

I think the question is phrased perfectly. Yes I sleep with my pets. They seem to think it is their bed and I am lucky enough to join them in it each night.
We have two 50lbs dogs and two 10lbs cats. They can sleep where ever they want. Usually I wake up with one or both cats on me. And sometimes a dog or two at the foot of the bed.
On the weekends it is usually all 6 of us in the bed at the same time. Taggart prefers to sleep in his crate most of the time with the door open. And Zoee gets on the bed less now days since it's becoming more difficult for her to jump up there.
