Do your pets share your bed?

We used to allow our cats to sleep with us until one night, one of them was licking and cleaning himself. Apparently my sleeping self didn't like this so I reached over and hit the cat to make him stop. Only I didn't hit the cat. I hit my sleeping husband in the nuts and he was very rudely awoken. No pets have been allowed to sleep in our room since that fateful night. :blushing:0

Not a chance. My bedroom is off limits completely. I don't want dander in there because of allergies and who knows what the animals get into during the day. My cousin's dogs get ticks on a weekly basis despite flea and tick prevention. The thought of a dog rolling in its own poop in the backyard and then curling up in my bedsheets is gross to me. Not to mention. . . when you decide to be "intimate" with your partner. . . what do you do with the pet? Shove him off the bed? Kick him out and close the door? That would interrupt the moment.
I have never seen my dog roll in its own poop - this isn't something that healthy dogs or cats do.
My dog sleeps in the lounge at night, on her own blanket. But we let her in our bedroom and on top of our bed ( not IN the bed) at day break , and she often sleeps on top of our bed during the day.0 -

It has nothing to do with health. Some dogs roll in stinky things. Some dogs do not.0 -
I don't share my bed with my dog. My dog generously shares my bed with me.0

yup, the dog and cat snuggle together on my side of the bed.0

One of our cats sleeps with us most nights, and will even crawl under the covers if he gets too cold. I'm totally OK with it.0
-
No. Not my master bed. I don't want fur in it. Nor does he get on the sofa. I don't want fur on it. I allow him on the bed in the spare bedroom, though.0

Only when I take him on vacation with me. He's also a bed hog and has to be right up against me.
Thankfully, he has is own bed and room at home.0 -
Whenever I go to my sister's house, her dog sleeps in my bed.
I don't even care that I'm allergic.0 -
The two that snore have their own room. They even go to it when we tell them "go to bed" My newest puppy sleeps in bed with us even though she is getting big and takes up about 50%. We've talked about trying to get her to sleep on the floor but I just don't have the heart. She sleeps on my pillow until I fall asleep then moves to the end of the bed.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 read somewhere that the pittie is the largest dog that owners consistently let sleep in their beds. We have a rescued Am Staff (picture is in my profile photos) that is 70 lbs of love and is quite the snuggle-bunny. He usually starts out as the "hot dog", lying in between us and not taking up much room at all. By morning, however, he's more like the "hamburger" but, at least, he's at the foot of the bed so it's manageable.0 -
My lil cockapoo will start off in bed with us for her bed time treats and cuddles. She does however end up under the bed for sleeping. As soon as we stir in the morning she hops back up in bed with us for good morning cuddles.

Well my black lab always did until I got remarried and my new husband can't stand the thought of dogs sleeping in human beds. To compromise, we agreed the dog couldn't go in our bed but he can sleep in the kids beds.
So if my hubby is out of town and the kids are at my ex's, sometime I go sleep in the kid's bed with the dog since I sort of miss the presence of my fur baby, LOL.
Nice side effect of this arrangement...the kids bed gets all the dog hair and my bed is dog hair free!

My dog use to sleep in my bed but now he's old and arthritic and can't jump up. I have a pillow with a blanket on it next to my bed for him. I love my furry son!0

Absolutely!! My 13 lb Miniature Schnauzer snuggles up in bed every night. I actually hate when I'm away because I don't sleep as well without her curled up against my legs. At first my SO didn't like the idea, but now he's just as attached to her as I am.0

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.
Umm, ok . . .
Your house might smell too and you don't realize it because you're used to it and it's the norm for you.0 -
@paulfischer - that's funny because I've done that many times. They seem to tolerate it, but one particular time was hilarious. All of a sudden you see the lump in the end of the bed start stirring and the next thing you know she comes bolting from under the covers gasping for air. It was a riot!

Maybe I'm just fortunate I've never had a pet who has done this then0 -
Well its kind of hard to snuggle with a fish tank... i might drown0

My first dog would get this glazed over look in her eyes, almost like she was high, then she'd start rolling around in the grass. There was always a dead mole or a mouse where this was happening. Blech. The worst was the dead fox. I went to scratch her on her chest and got a handful of nastiness. So yeah, you're fortunate!0
