Does your dog sleep with you?

Hey welcome back Miranda!

Nope, Harlee sleeps in the same room, but in her crate, with a nice, soft, fuzzy dog bed inside

We made the mistake of allowing Dale to sleep with us occasionally as a pup and then he kept growing and growing and got too big for our bed...so with Harlee, she has never been allowed and I think everyone gets a good nights rest b/c of it

I am also up in the middle of the night occasionally ( being a mother of a toddler), and I don't want the added noise of a big old dog follwoing me in the night to Christian's room...and also didn't want her to think that she was allowed to sleep on his bed, either, b/c she is too big for him...and will be way too big for him in his bed, once full grown. Now once he is grown up, maybe he will allow her in his bed, but not now...long story short...nope

Gonzo has a big bed in my room, so he usually sleeps on my bed at first, but when I wake up he's sleeping in his. He likes laying on my bed, but he will not get up there unless I call him ~ he's uber submissive. I think I might kick him or steal the covers from him at night, so he ends up giving up and going to his bed

Nope. he sleeps in his crate at night.
not because i dont trust him,, just incase i have to get up,, i dont like having to worry about stepping on him in the dark. so i crate him.

Not often. Sometimes on a Saturday night they do, if my Brother goes out and will be home late (I dont want them getting out accidently).

I usually get Penny and Theo for a little while in the morning for a quick cuddle.

Nebo sleeps in my room and he has his choice of my bed, his kennel with a dog bed in it, or the floor. Sometimes he'll jump on the bed and sleep there for a little while. He's always on the floor by morning though.

I got sammyJ after his frist owner died, and he seems to have some anxity issues. He is afraid of feet to, so im working with him on that, at first he was so unsure as to what to do, I just let him take the lead and let him know I love him, he sleeps with me off n on..hes up n down or hanging over my back..lol..and sometimes i have to sit and rock him, it seems to calm him, he just lays there like a baby and when hes had enough he lets me know and lays here by me, hes never to far away. One day i snapped my fingers to get his attetion and he lay flat on the floor like a whip,got me, I think he was punished , and hes scared of the fly swatter ..so that is put up. He is such a sweet heart, I just want him to forget all that and be really super happy.
