Carrie, if a cat companion is allowed to participate on this board....

This morning at 3:30 am when unable to sleep I got to thinking about you advice that dogs not sleep on your bed (unless they have thier own pillow, right?) I assume that doesn't go for cats or else my Edwina (COTD, May 2, 2001) will be most unhappy.

Anyway, where she sleep seems to depend on the temperature. We were a bit warm last night so she was next to me but not right on me. When it is cooler she snuggles the crook of my legs and when it is downright cold she gets close to my heart for more warmth. That got me to thinking about the expression - or rock group -- Three Dog Night. (remember it WAS 3:30 am.) I recall that to refer to some olden custom of the colder the night, the more dogs you had in bed with you.

So how does that square with not letting dogs sleep on the bed?
