Personally, I would prefer that my dogs not sleep in my bed. They don't usually want to anyway as they prefer my daughter. The cat usually cuddles up at the top of my head. I haven't tried to discipline the dogs too much from getting in bed with Helen, but they do take up a lot of space. I am hoping, Carrie, that I can be the Alpha Dog, by not letting them sleep with me! Of course, this morning, Helen has a fever and is in my bed. Guess who's in there with her?
