    My puppy sleeps with me, but I make the fish and the snake stay in their tanks.

    I used to have a 4ft monitor lizard who did routinely let himself out of his tank and found his way into my bed - this was before I had my dogs however! Now the 10ft boa constrictor is the one to watch, thankfully he has only escaped once and the dogs never realised he was on the loose. He gets his out time when they're playing in another room :)

    I also share a bed with a chihuahua-X, he's 15lbs of cuddles. He needs to be the little spoon at ALL times, sleeps in my arms under the blankets with his head on my pillow. I did NOT teach him this, he is a rescued dog and this is what he likes!

    Once I put him on my bed and left the room... I noticed he had crawled under my pillow. Silly dog! So I went to lift the pillow off of him... nope, he was INSIDE my pillow case! Lol

    Here he is wearing his favourite sweater (HE likes to wear sweaters, I find it silly, but dogs will be dogs, who am I to not let him wear his favourite sweater and scarf?)

    And this is my other little baby who passed away this spring, they were brothers. If he's not the cutest chihuahua-mix you've ever met, you are a liar. He was the smartest, sweetest little doggie I ever met, RIP:

    Guilty!!
    The 77 lb. German shepherd sleeps with my fiancé and I. The boxer is 12 and can't get on the bed anymore, but she'd be there, too if she could!
    Sometimes the German shepherd lays on my fiancé's pillow with her head resting on top of his head...cracks me up every time!

    I love my animals....they are my children! But I have a St. Bernard that drools more drool and sheds more hair than any other dog out there....and I'm weird about keeping my bed clean LoL.......however, he has his very own bed at the foot of my bed. Good enough, right??

    I have 3 cats. Each one has a different personality and they ALL share my bed with me.

    Milagra is the "queen" she has the fluffiest tail and grooms its every waking moment...don't touch it or you will pay. She also refuses to drink out of the water dish. She only drinks out of the sink which you MUST leave dripping for her.

    Tabitha is the lover. She just wants to be pet. Pet me, pet me, pet me. If you are not giving her attention she will nudge you or pull your hand down to her face so she can rub up against you (thinking that is love).

    Nya is the scaredy cat. She is scared of everything and everyone ('cept her family). She hides under my bed whenever she hears a knock at the door. She has even ripped the liner of my box spring so she can hide up in there. She also thinks she is a dog. She has her little foam balls that she will fetch. Yes, my cat actually plays fetch like a dog.

    The princess of my house, though she thinks she's the queen (I still lay claim to that title) :laugh:

    If our bedroom door is open, she's curled up in a tight ball in the middle of it. At least until she thinks you've seen her, then she stretches out on her back, all four paws in the air, waiting for her belly scratch. However, she only gets to sleep with us on Christmas Eve and only then because I'm afraid she'll open all the presents before my kids get a chance to. She's a horrible 45 lb bed hog. The good news is that my 14 year old loves having her in his bed, so that's where you can find her most nights. They are so cute, his 6' frame barely fits in his twin bed, but he makes room for her little self. Generally they share the pillow.

    Two of my bunnies have an entire bedroom to themselves to run around in that's bigger than my bedroom.

    My kitties both sleep with me most nights. I often end up with about 3 inches of bed between a stretched out cat and a stretched out hubby.

    My daughter laughs because Hubby says I hog the bed and she is like, nope daddy you spread out, cat spreads out and mommy has no room.

    my dog would rather stand over the bed and stare at me while breathing heavily. This generally gets him kicked out of the bedroom. He then goes to sleep on the couch.

    Yes I do. My dog is a schnauzer so she doesnt shed or smell. My cat is a very low shed cat as well..but sometimes she dirves me nuts because sh elikes to spoon me and lick my neck when I am trying to sleep. She is freakishly affectionate.

    I should also add to the crazy by admitting that because my old boy is getting stiff and is no longer so agile, I built him a ramp and carpeted it just so he could still get into bed with us :blushing:

    I want dogs... not kids... I am one of those people :heart:

    It's a slippery slope, I have 17 dogs and had to buy a horse farm to accomodate them

    Yes. My 40lb lab/hound mix is amazingly human-like in his sleeping habits. He sleeps alongside me on his back with his head on the pillow or on my shoulder. It makes me practically weep from cuteness every morning. Any amount of discomfort is worth it.
