Do you allow your pets to sleep in your bed?

[molucass]

Do you let your dogs or cats sleep in the bed with you?
If so, do they get to sleep with you every night, or just sometimes?
If not, why?

Alizé sleeps in the bed with me every night.. I probably wouldn't be able to sleep very well if she wasn't in bed with me.

[a_wenn88]

I used to let my Boston sleep in the bed with me every night from the day we got him, but we got a cat in January and he snapped at her, so we had to buy him a kennel - He does well in the kennel. He whined the first 3 nights. Sometimes I'll let him come sleep with me, but he prefers his pillow on the floor.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Yes, Marta sleeps on the bed every night. I like having a dog to sleep with, and Marta is so good, she doesn't stir and wake us up, although she does occasionally hog the bed! :D

The other dogs would only wake us up and it would be too crowded. I've let the cats sleep on our bed at night but they wake me up too! They are all allowed on there when they want to be, except Marta is the only one sleeping there at night.

[molucass]

Alizé has been sleeping with me since she was about 6 weeks old. She never has woke up at night. She will sleep all night and usually doesn't wake up until I do. I just have to make sure we take her out to potty as soon as she does wake up.

[Casper]

I certainly do. :]

I always share my bed with Frisk. Sometimes Skylar joins me if his mum(my sister) stays up too late. My door is open, so the cats get to come and go as they please, but Khaith & Kayla are usually curled up on my bed somewhere.

Of course, Ethan always sleeps with mum. Even during the day he spends most of his time sleeping on her bed.

I hate crawling into bed without a dog there. I get cold really easy at night, so it is nice to have some extra warmth. Dogs(and cats, for that matter) are like portable heating units. =D

[Suki Wingy]

I said yes since he is allowed too, but most nights he sleeps on his own old chair. During the day he sleeps on my bed though. Oslo, of course, stays in his cage while unattended.

[shepgirl]

No never, this sin't the kind of dog that sleeps with a person, just beside the bed.

[cali]

I prefere they sleep in my bed, though Happy and Electra usually sleep on the floor. they sometimes join me on my bed in the early morning before I get up though. Rusty and Misty always sleep on my bed...I cant get them off my bed, the floor turns into a spring when I try, toss dog off and *boing* dog springs back on lol

[Taz_Zoee]

Taz and Zoee sleep where ever they want. Zoee sleeps on the bed probably 80% of the time and Taz about 60%. During the summer Zoee likes to sleep on the floor, because it is hot. Which is just fine with us. :)
Paizly sleeps in her room since we've only had her for two weeks. I imagine if she was able to roam the house at night she'd play and keep me awake. I have a bell on her collar since she is so small so we can find her easier. Once she is bigger and doesn't have to stay locked up I will more than likely remove the bell or the entire collar.

[critter crazy]

No Duke does not sleep on my bed. Hubby does not like dogs in the bed, and besides, I wouldnt have enough room with my big ol' hound dog in bed with me! lOL!! But duke has a very nice bed I made for him out of a Crib mattress that he just loves anyways.

[Laurel Mc]

Yes,
I share my bed with 120 lbs of dog
70 lb bassador
50 lb blue mix

They are bed hogs but I don't mind. Since I am single, they are better than any electric blanket in winter. I have also learned not to feed them leftover pinto beans or cabbage before bedtime. I really hate it when they go out the dog door in the middle of the night, get wet and cold, then snuggle up to me to get warm and dry. Talk about a rude awakening.

When I used to live out in the country, my dog once stole from my neighbor's garden in the middle of the night and I woke up with a giant squash on my back.

[MoonandBean]

Sunny just started sleeping in bed. I actually think she prefers being in the crate (she likes a cool surface) but my cat took over the basement and that's where her crate is kept. We may get another crate and put it in the bedroom but for now, she's in the bed and not too much of a bed hog but she sure rolls and stretches a lot. :D

[Catlady711]

Not only do my cats sleep on my bed, but sometimes I'll have as many as 3 of them UNDER my covers with me. ;)

[moosmom]

I think the question should be, do your pets allow you to sleep in your bed. That's the way it is in my house.

[lvpets2002]

:love: Now my dogs are outdoors only.. But the indoor kitties always take over my bed..:D Would not have it any other way..

[Christmas_Hamster]

If I could I would but with all of the rodnets and fish in my room it isn't safe for the dog or cats to be in there at night and the rodents would probably just run off and well fish wouldn't be happy. >.0

[GILL]

You bet I couldn't sleep unless I had 5-8 fur babies with me. Mits does not stay but he has too make sure that I go to sleep.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Tobey and Archie start off on the floor but by morning one, if not both, are snuggled up next to me

[JenBKR]

No - THEY allow ME to sleep in the bed :D

[krazyaboutkatz]

Of course.:) I keep my bedroom slightly open with a doorstop so my cats can come and go throughout the night. I keep 2 cat beds on the right side of my bed so there's usually at least 3 cats on my bed during the night.

[catnapper]

We got a king sized bed because of the pets. But it seems no matter how big the bed is, the animals just stretch out more and still leave us hoomans cramped quarters!

The past few nights, Allen has taken to sleeping on my stomach and getting quite mad at me if I shoo him off.... but 23 pounds of cat is quite uncomfortable!!!

[Zippy]

Yes Zippy allows me to sleep on the bed with her.Pumpkin doesn't really sleep on the bed much.

[Bengalz]

Absolutely :D:love::D Eve is our little cuddle bug and sleeping in our bed comes with the territory (hers, of course:p). And, I wouldn't have it any other way :D

[columbine]

Smudge prefers to sleep in a basket or box, on a chair, or on the floor next to the bed, but many mornings he'll hop up and give me a cuddle before I get up. If I'm sick or injured, though, he's right there, even if I'm just sad or overtired, giving me lots of happy warm purrrrrrrrs to help me feel better.

Love, Columbine

[Freedom]

I lift Sugar, Lacey and Ozzy on my bed each night as part of my preparations for bed. Not to results in whines, whimpers, and all out barking! :eek::rolleyes: Then I have to lift them down when they want a drink, back up when they have finished. :rolleyes:

Marlin has stairs so he can come and go on Dad's bed day or night. However, he DOES require a cheering squad to get UP the stairs, so the whole house knows if he got down for any reason during the night (water, security patrol, etc.)

The cats come and go. In general, Crystal sleeps on Dad's bed, the other 10 spend the night coming and going from my bed. This has been going on for over 10 years, not sure I could sleep on a stable bed! And of course, Tommy loves TOES, so I sometimes get woken up with nips. ;)

Marlin and Crystal seem to have cornered Dad's bed for themselves; sometimes they allow Dad in, but the other pets are sternly turned away. :p

[lute]

Chloe sleeps with me every night. Beanie sleeps in my parent's room. Gracie and Talon sleep in their crates.

[Medusa]

After thinking about it, I should've checked "sometimes" because I'll let one of the Fur Posse sleep in my bed if s/he's sick or recovering from surgery. Otherwise, I need my space. I'm a thrasher. LOL

[HoochsMommiee]

yup i allow hunter to sleep in my bed at first he is snuggled right up next to me but during the night i find him either totally stretched out or at the foot of the bed..

[pomtzu]

They allow me to sleep in my bed with them! :D

[GILL]

Of course, we have from 2-10 on the bed for the night. I love being purred to sleep.

[ramanth]

The dogs can come up onto the bed during the night or when we are home. The cats sleep in a seperate room at night and only have access to the bedroom when we are home.

[k9krazee]

At this point the dogs all sleep in beds with somebody, except Kyra. Jack with me when I'm home, otherwise he sleeps with my sister, Kyra in her crate, Micki with my brother and Mini with my parents.

In the future, you know, when I get my own house and stuff, I don't think I'll allow dogs in the bed and they won't be allowed on the furniture.

[anna_66]

We used to allow them on the bed, but after we got our new bed we don't.

Not that I didn't love them sleeping with us, but it honestly just got too dirty.

Bon and Simba especially would run in the house and jump on the bed, even if their feet were a little wet. I even kept a sheet over the top and somehow the dirt still ended up on my comforter/quilt.

I do miss them sleeping with us, but it's nice to have a clean hair free bed:D

[Cinder & Smoke]

... it's nice to have a clean, (dry), hair free bed :D

I don't believe I've ever experienced such a bed.

:D

LOL!! Your pictures speak a thousand words. Priceless!! :D

[Medusa]

:D

Hair I'm used to. It's feeling cat litter between the sheets that gets me.

:eek: What Mary you dont have your babies trained to leave the litter on the floor??:D

Here is Bump & Skid having it rough on the bed..

Don't I wish they'd leave the litter in the litterbox. It's always sticking between their toes. I have all hardwood floors and every time I hear that crunch under my shoes, it makes me cringe and if I feel it in bed, yuck! My vacuum cleaner definitely works overtime.

Bump and Skid are just too stressed! ;)

There are the pictures I have been waiting for :D

So Denise, where exactly do you sleep? I am sure that you are not permitted in the bed.....;)
