We've got Cookie in bed too. I'm not very happy but so far we've tolerated it. She snuggles up next to me, head on my tummy and sleeps many happy hours with us. She has her own basket next to daddy, but she won't sleep long there.

It's okay now that it's cold and I can tuck my feet under her warm body. I hope she has some common sense and stops when it gets warmer. She goes off the bed herself now if she's too hot and sleeps on the floor (no mom, there's no way you get me in that basket of mine! go and sleep in it yourself, or better, get dad in it!).

It's very crowded in bed, with mom and dad, Cookie and 2 cats.

My dogschool teacher is very much agains Cookie sleeping in bed because it gives her too much freedom and she doesn't see us as top dogs. So, we're now trying to get her at least of the couch... Not that this works, she's still there.

Guess I'm no help here. One look at the happy smile on my dogs face and than I know she's happy. If she's happy, I'm happy.
