Do your pets share your bed?

We actually had to buy our pitbull HER OWN CHAIR because she is such a bed hog. Now, I can hear her snores in the other room while I have a bed to myself.

Yes, there are typically 2 people and 3 cats on my bed. The only one that is a bother is our youngest who licks our face and hair when she comes to lay down on top of me. Her tongue feels like sandpaper, but I love her so she stays.0

Of Course my puppy does!! It's almost her bed0

My cat and I have a ritual. He lays on my chest and I pet him for about 5-10 minutes, then he moves to my pillow and sleeps there for a while with one paw usually on my shoulder, purring. He then moves to the foot of the bed and sleeps there the rest of the night. He gets back on the pillow in the morning after the alarm goes off the first time.
My partner's cat sleeps at the foot of the bed after hauling small stuffed animals from the living room to the bedroom while meowing weirdly. Occasionally, he'll lay on her chest for a few minutes of petting before moving to her feet.0 -
Just wondering if you share your bed with your pets? I do and even though I love my pit bull to death she is a HUGE bed hog! My cats are usually out at night but when they are in they are also in bed with us. Sometimes I get NO sleep but oh well, as long as my fur babies are happy!:laugh:
I have a friend who is downright disgusted by the idea of pets in her bed and tells me how nasty that is. LOL! Whatevvvvva!
I have three pitbulls myself, 1 very large pit and 2 "pocket pits", and they each have their own beds, in our bed room. So they don't sleep in the bed with us, but they do sleep in the room with us. :happy:
Even when they were puppies I wouldn't really have them sleep on the bed. I don't want them to get into a habit of thinking they can jump up whenever they want to. That and I live on 2 acres, so they run around a lot outside and roll around in the dirt or go swimming, so I wouldn't want to sleep with them lol.0 -
Gross, no.
I'm sorry, who invited her?
(just kidding, boo.)0 -
Ditto. It's fine for other people, but not for me. My dog snores loud enough to wake the dead, so he stays downstairs.0

My dog has her own bed and sleeps in it next to our bed. However, in the winter time, she likes to get in our bed. We keep a sheet on top of our comforter for those nights. She is a 106 lb. lab and we have a queen bed....yes, my hips hurt but I wouldn't trade it for the world!0

Yep my staffy sleeps in my bed. Its a competition who can get to sleep first as we're both pretty loud snorers. She also likes to fart frequently & will give me a look of disgust before abandoning ship when its really bad.0

Oh gosh, I love the pictures of you guys' pets!
I have two beagles, and they both sleep in bed with me. I also have a cat that comes and hangs out once in awhile, but that's rare. I love my beagles more than basically ANYTHING, but I somewhat regret having them in bed with me. I am the meat in a beagle sandwich all night, every night. It's a little much at times, lol, and my boyfriend HATES it.0 -

OMG!!! HOW CUUUTE!!!!0 -
No. My yorkie is cute, but not the brightest bulb. Every time he goes upstairs where there is carpet or I let him on the bed, he pees. I'm done dry cleaning the comforter. He gets a nice little section of the kitchen with his toys and his bed.0

my dog has waterproof rain boots and a rain coat with a hood when he goes out in the rain and other times he gets his feet washed every time he comes home. so yup. he's potty trained, clean, always smells like peaches and therefore is allowed to sleep at the end of the bed0

I forgot my LOL cat story- my one fat cat is much more like a dog it's hysterical.
He sleeps in a box on top of my computer desk frequently- and I start to shut down the living room- TV/comptuer- cleanup dishes and sewing projects- and I head to bed- he wakes up- jumps down and then RUNS to the back bed room and turns around and looks at me liek TIME FOR BED TIME FOR BED TIME FOR BED!!!
he gets so disgruntled when I'm staying up late and I go the bathroom- and he runs back there like it's bed time
he's like
BIT*CH you tricked me!!!!!
it's so funny and adorable. Love it.0 -
Not very often! It's hard enough to sleep when my hubby snores. Two bulldogs sounds like a choir of snoring when all 3 are there!0
-
Yep. Dogs, cats, a sick rooster, and two baby goats.0
-
My dog is allowed in the bed and will occasionally sleep there with me, but usually he sleeps in his own bed in the bedroom with me. He does get up and snuggle on the occasional morning. The couch is a whole different story, we have learned to share that really well.0
-
Back when I was a dj a few of them did.0
-
Not a chance. Even if a pet is brushed and bathed they still shed. I don't want that hair in my bed or on my furniture.
My dog has her own pillow in the bedroom. That's enough.0 -
We used to allow it but our husky mix sheds so much that we had to put a stop to it. Also, our tiny dog is in danger of getting hurt by rogue limbs rolling around in the night.
After we banned them I thought about it and it is quite gross. They walk around in the yard, get pee and other particles all over their bare feet. Sure, they walk around on the carpets in our home too and I shampoo and vacuum those carpets... but I don't lay my head on the carpet. Whatever is on their paws that I can't see... I don't want that in my bed. Even with washing sheets.0 -
Nope, allergic to the cat...so she is not allowed in the bedroom. My puppy is still kenneled most nights and sleeps in there next to our bed. My mastiff, well he is huge and sleeps anywhere but my bed. I prefer only myself and hubby in our bed, plus the whole sleeping naked thing would creep me out with an animal in my bed.0

<<<< Yep, Ginger sleeps with us. Sometimes she sleeps with my son (and he has a twin bed, so it's crowded). We also have a Dachshund that usually sleeps with my son as well.0
-
oh you guys mean animals.
Nope, that's dirty.0 -
Yep both my cats sleep with me, they are welcome in my bed anytime.0

This was a day before Christmas and these two got brand new beds for their gifts :happy:
The baby doesn't get a "real" bed until he gets a little bigger, so a pillow and some sheets suffice for now. I don't want to buy two overpriced pet beds for one dog :happy:
Sorry, but I'm a proud momma! :happy:0 -

Those are the cutest pups ever! Not spoiled at all hehe:laugh:0 -
We don't have any pets currently but growing up I had a cocker-poo (small dog) and a cat and they both slept with me at night.
The cat, Sneakers, would be up by my head. She was smart - she figured out I tossed and turned a lot and that was the best place for her to be so she could be close, and even steal some heat, but without getting disturbed too much.
The dog, Duchess, would sleep anywhere near me where it was most comfortable. In the winter, I actually would put her under the blankets with me. In the summer, she'd stay down more near my feet so we weren't sharing too much body heat.
The cat I had before I met Hubs, Baby, wouldn't really sleep with me unless she was scared (storms, vet visit days). She might try to sleep by my feet now and then but as soon as I moved a bit, she was out of there. Definitely not a cuddler. She was a rescue cat so who knows what she might've had to endure before I found her.
:sad: I miss them all0 -

Not all pets shed.0 -
My cats won't take 'no' for an answer, so they sleep on the bed whenever they want. My Great Pyrenees takes up the space of two adult humans, so she only gets to share the bed when the hubby is away.0
