Does your dog sleep with you?

[Dawn_B]

Well now I definitely feel like a jerk. Haha.
Vito is not allowed on the furniture or our beds. He has a crate he spends some parts of the day in (usually when my son's specialists/therapists/interventionists are over), but he sleeps in our room with us on his own bed. Occasionally I hear him move into the hallway where he sleeps by the kid's bedroom doors which is pretty cute.
His day time naps are usually on his own ottoman which we pushed in front of our bay window so he can watch the world go by and alert us of killer bunnies and other menaces of suburbia. Haha.

It's interesting hearing how everyone else's dogs sleep! This is a great thread!

I know, as much as I whine about lack of sleep, I really do love him sleeping with us. I'd love for him to maybe not to pummel my back or snore quite so loud! I had a newfy mix, Rummy, that we lost to hemangiosarcoma a year ago in August. We had rescued him nearly 10 years before. He was so pitiful when I brought him home, he'd been severely abused and was about 35 lbs under weight. The first night I brought him home, we had him in a crate and he just cried so, it just broke my heart. That lasted about 30 minutes before I got him out and put him next to me in the bed and there he slept for the next 9 1/2 years-so I was secretly glad when we let Indy out of the crate that first night that after about 10 minutes of him pacing and trying to decide where to sleep, he just crawled up there like "maybe, they won't notice"!

My dog sleeps with me though sometimes i regret it lol. Hes an English Mastiff x Cane Corso x Dogue de Bordeux x Presa Canaro and he is massive to say the least. He weighs 58.6kg (nearly 10 stone) and hes still only a baby. Hes 18months old and bless him when it comes to bed time he loves jumping on bless him getting well excited. Love him to pieces bless him and the poor thing is terrified of everything because of his last owner abusing him. Wouldnt change him for the world xxx

 

[beany]

this is my baby Homer. 18months old and nearly 10 stone xx

Hell no the dogs don't sleep with us but if we stare long enough at them with our sad eyes they sometimes will make room on the bed for us.

so ture

Ha ha ha ha Angelbears! Tali sleeps with us, but Sid stays in his crate. Tali usually has a snuggle or two, then slides off and curls up on the floor until about 5:00 when she jumps back up to lick any exposed part of hubby's anatomy til she convinces him to get up and let her out for a quick widdle. Then it's back to the king sized bed for the king-sized hubby, the soon to be queen-sized dog and little me. Snuggles ensue until alarm time. I have a wide variety of bruises from her stepping on me, and she sometimes spoons the wrong way so she can look at you, and always tries to get between the humans when we suggle, but keeps getting better and better at bed etiquette. We tried having both Sid and Tali, but that was a disaster. He's just too little to safely claim a space, and he never has accidents in his crate, but the big bed wasn't as revered.

Kenzi sleeps in the room with us, but not on the bed. We used to let our previous dog, a lab, on the bed with us and we always ended up kicking her off because there wasn't enough room. So there's no way we have room for a CC, especially a farty one.

 

[Kez]

Lmao crazy how much we give in to those loveable slobbery faces,
GG is not aloud on our bed or furniture,and I know it's for the best but sometimes I really do wish she could lol

 

[RissyRenee]

Our dogs do not sleep in our bed. We have a queen, so there would not be room haha! Lo (10m) sleeps in her crate which is in our bedroom, my boxer sleeps on his dog bed near Lo's crate. Eventually we wont crate her at night either but only time will tell. They both are not allowed on the furniture either so we have cuddle time on the floor! I am pretty sure if we let them on our couch, they would never leave! :x

 

[jcook]

We had both dogs (cane corso and english bulldog) sleep in our bed for about 3 weeks lol. I wanted stella to stay in the room with us longer so i could monitor her while she was still a pup, but the bf was really insistent that if Stella was allowed in the room then Sampson must also be. So Stella has slept in the living room (on the couches, or dog bed) with Sampson since she was just a few months old. I think it part of the reason she bonded so closely with Sampson...

Now there is simply not enough room on the bed for all of us and for some reason the dogs think that the bed is a boxing ring... as soon as they get on the bed they just 'play fight' each other and we get often end up with a paw to the face or stomach lol. Plus our dogs already have two leather couches, an extra large, cooling temperpedic dog bed, and a crate with plush bedding, they are going to be alright lol.

BUT, if I am home alone the dogs are allowed in the room and there is no doubt that if I lived alone Stella would be allowed to sleep in the bed with me

oh, and when Stella is in heat she is allowed to sleep on her dog bed in our room.

 

[Robtouw]

NO, Cruiser is not allowed in our bedroom, it is the only room off limits in the house. He has a bedroom of his own complete with a daybed.

Kuvant alwY try to sleep on my head

 

[Ingas_mommy]

LOL my dobey slept exceptionally in beds preferred to get on the pillows and get covered like a human, snored like a big old man, stretched when he pleased and all the family was just going out of the way to get him comfy. He had a charmed life indeed.
Mi cane corso girl has her way on the sofas ( all of them) I cover her up because oh the babay must be cold...and I probably would let her in the bed ( I am just a sucker I guess) and she did try it one day but my hubby has will of still he got her out of there we bought her big bed ( well big for now ) and i guess I am just gona resort to covering her with warm blankets and tucking her in...I think once they know they can get away with being in bed its really hard to get them out ...read impossible here.

 

[Ingas_mommy]

Yup I had that too...Staring at them in hopes they'd let you in I mean

 

[Sullys dad]

Spoiled rotten!

 

[Bailey's Mom]

Spoiled rotten!

So cute. I love it when they use the pillows. When you see them like this, it's too hard to say no. What a sweety!

 

[Ingas_mommy]

Spoiled rotten!

Uh Adorable...How can one ever say no to that

 

[Yamizuma]

Awwwww! Sweet baby!
