    Not only do I allow my two full grown black labs sleep in the bed with me; I also wake up with my legs hanging off the bed because they decide to sprawl out. That is usually when I tell them to get down, but they hop back up the second I am asleep. So spoiled!hw4hxvl4s35r.jpeg

    hahaha They let us sit on their furniture!

    The kitties are free to sleep wherever they want. I have actually been really annoyed the last few months because the one who sleeps on the bed the most has been hanging out on my husband's side instead of snuggled up with me. The middle cat apparently now sleeps in the dog's crate while the dog sleeps on his bed in our room.

    The dog is NOT allowed on the bed. My husband doesn't want the dog on the furniture (so no couch snuggles :'( ), but also when I have slept with the dog (60+ lbs) he likes to sprawl across my head/neck/chest which really isn't comfortable and inhibits breathing. Tonight could be an exception since he will have the cone of shame on and might freak out if he can't snuggle.

    Not anymore. I used to let my dogs sleep in my bed, but there just isn't enough room for 2 adults, 2 (50+ pound) dogs, and a (15 pound) kitty to sleep comfortably. Occasionally the cat will sleep with us, but generally bed time is animal free.

    Nope. Got a cat. Lock him up in the Laundry Room every night.

    When I first started dating my current boyfriend, I lived alone and had two 50 pound Australian Shepherds who DEFINITELY slept on the bed. When we moved in together, I broke their amazing, pure, loving, hearts and kicked them out of bed.
    That lasted all of about 2 months before my boyfriend instituted a "if they behave, they can stay" policy. Needless to say, the puppies now pretty much do whatever they want.
    *rubs hands together* my plan worked perfectly . . .

    The cat, yes. The dog? NOPE. He stays on the floor. I'm not sharing my bed with a 55 pounds dog who might or might not step in mud, his poop, or pee.

    Noooope. I started my puppy sleeping in her crate for potty training reasons, and I can't even get her to stay still long enough to cuddle on the couch with me, so I can just imagine how trying to share a bed with her would go!

    Minion stays with me for a while then jumps down to go play. Arch sleeps at the foot of the bed. I have rolled over and knocked him on the floor a few times. I always feel so bad! Both cats, btw.

    No. Cats are gross. They pee and poop in a box then scratch it all up under their claws. No way am I letting those germy feet all over my bed. Plus my dog and cat shed hair like crazy

    Sometimes we let them come in on the weekend and sleep with us but during the week we don't. I have 2 dogs and they take the whole bed! I'm trying to convince my boyfriend that we just need a bigger bed. We have a king right now. b4ey9m96223d.jpg

    Of course! I would spend the entire night fighting with them otherwise and besides who doesn't love that sweet little furry body snuggled close to them. Hubby and I fight over who "gets" to have which cat snuggled up with them.

    My cat lets me sleep in the bed, if I am lucky I might even get to use the pillow. He totally runs the household.

    Our 3 cats take up a third of a king size bed. My OH keeps her half. I get to sleep along the beading at edge of the mattress.

    I consider myself lucky.
