    No, he kicks too much!





    Oh yeah, and he farts, and they stink!

    I think my profile picture speaks for itself. Yes, they sleep on their side of the king size bed. Plenty of room for the three of us.

    Oliver's bed is at the foot of ours, and he sleeps with us most every night. If we move around too much and annoy him, though, he goes to his spot on the couch.

    Of course! We have a Chi-Weenie and a Chihuahua/Terrier mix. They're great cuddlers and the Chi-Weenie sleeps almost like a human on her back with her paws sticking out of the covers. It's adorable!

    I love my 2 kittys but nope i dont.. im pretty allergic to animal fur, over the last couple of years i have gotten used to them and it doesnt bother me so much now but if they go on the bed it really sets it off.. sometimes one of them will sneak upstairs if the door gets left open and its always my pillow they get on :( .. as soon as i get into bed it would start and id have to get up and change all the bedding :(

    If I'm just taking a quick nap during the day, my dog will sleep with me. He likes to spoon and gets kicky when he's in a deep sleep, so at night he get's the option of sleeping in the cushy dog bed on the floor in my room, or he goes and sleeps on my Dad's CA king bed. He get's his own side of the bed with my Dad...and never tries to spoon him (he sleeps in a pallet on top of the bed, not under the covers). When we adopted him a year ago, they told us he was crate trained and liked to sleep in his crate. That lasted 2 nights with us. If he's on my bed and I want him to get down, I just point my finger to the floor and doesn't get back up again until I invite him up. On my Dad's bed he feels no invitation is required. Ha!

    My indoor 12 year old cat has never slept with me, but he does like to sleep on top of the bed we have in our spare bedroom, especially during the day when the sun is shining through.

    Chasing those squirrels in dreamland! Those legs really get moving sometimes!

    No. My dog is in his kennel at night. He is also not allowed on furniture or even allowed to enter my bedroom. He stops at the door and does not go in. He was very uncontrollable when we first got him. However, now that he has a kennel and consistently expected behaviors, he understands his place in the pack. Some dogs need that. If I let him sleep in the bed (which my son did before he moved) he become controlling and more aggressive. Certain dog types will become agitated and nervous when they feel in charge. He is one of those types. We had to work on some of this on our daily walks as well. I had to train him to be walked.

    He's a smart, loveable dog. But, I know his limits. Some dogs are more easy going and can be dealt with differently. My dog isn't mean. He is nervous and excitable.

    I WOULD let the cats sleep in my bed, BUT they are naughty. They scratch at the bed at 4am for food until someone gets up and feeds them. Which reminds me, I have to go put them all in the basement for the night.

    One of my pit bulls sleeps on the sofa with me. He is sleeping beside me right now as I sit here on MFP.

    i'm pretty sure i'm sleeping in THEIR bed. i'm only in it 6 hours a day - they're in it like 20.

    this 100%. Two cats and my husband and I have often commented on the fact that it's not our bed any more:laugh:

    If my dog couldn't sleep with me in my bed I'd sleep with her elsewhere. She needs snuggles and so do I.

    Yes. My cat Callie has her bed on my bed. she doesn't sleep next to me, She's not a cuddly kitty but i was able to get her trained to have "cuddle time" in the morning. once in a while she will climb on my chest early in the morning before i wake up and practically strangle me because she's sitting on my neck for cuddle time.. I wake up and am like.. "Callie, it's called cuddle time, not strangle time", then she climbs down and lets me sleep some more, then when i really wake up she's ready for real cuddle time.

    my cat is super cuddly. She sleeps with us in the winter and cool summer nights, if it is hot she avoids us. This is fine with me :)

    Don't have pets, but if so, they sure would not be allowed in the bedroom

    Love you are one of my best friends then but also glad we aren't going to get married. I adore my little girl. :smile:

    My fox terrier doesn't as he sheds, but the cat and irish terrier do ,occasionally. This can be a big problem when our two children hop in too...

    No! They are too big! Our bed is our bed! I spent a fortune on luxury dog beds for them!

    Dogs... never. The cat... if I had my way she wouldn't, but you know cats. She does stay down at the bottom by my feet when I'm actually in the bed.

    I have four to five little dogs and one to two cats that normally sleep in my king size bed with me. Love my fur babies. :happy:

    Yup, my cat is sometimes kind enough to let us have a tiny bit of bed to sleep on..... we never get much of the covers though. He doesn't look that big in the daytime lol but when he spreads out on the bed he takes up so much room. He also wakes me up by licking my hair when he's hungry. Wouldn't be without him :smile: :heart:

    Sometimes I get the impression I am sharing the animals bed.....
    I have a king sized bed and occasionally I wonder if I should sleep on the sofa so as not to disturb the 2 cats and 2 minpins.... (just kidding... sort of...)

    My cats occasionally allow me to sleep on their bed. I am only allowed to have half a pillow and approximately one-fifth of the blanket though.

    No way...pets are pets, they don't sleep in the bed or get on the furniture. I have found that the majority of my friends who own pets and let them sit on the furniture or sleep in the beds have smelly homes. They get used to the smell and it's the norm for them. That is obviously their choice but I won't have it in my home.

    we let my Collie X Australian Ridge-back come up for a cuddle on our laps on the sofa on our terms or just before bedtime for a good night cuddle before he goes down to sleep on his bed.

    i at least have one cat in the bed with us but sometimes its all three. they are so snuggly and curl up small so it isn't a problem except when i accidently kick them. lol
