Dogs on your bed??
Question:
My GSD and my Pem Corgi both sleep on my bed. Any sleep disorders I suffer existed before the dogs were allowed on the bed. The Corgi has only been sleeping on the bed for a few months–she is not quite a year old and didn’t understand that BED = SLEEP. Now she is quite good! jav

My cockapoo-ish boy, Henry Arlis Ball (I don’t really know what the hell he is) regularly sleeps in my bed – under the blankies and he often uses the pillow. And he likes to sleep in in the mornings. Very much. And when he gets up, he has "Bed Head" or, as my daughter calls it, "Bed Body" (because of his semi-curly fur). Jennifer

Hello all! I’m a reporter, working on a story about folks whose pets sleep on the bed with them.
My German Shepherd sleeps on the bed with my husband and I. She only comes up when invited. Being a German Shepherd, she feels she must patrol the house through the night, so after an hour she will get down, patrol and then come back into the bedroom and sleep on the floor. There she will stay until one of us wakes up (usually not until morning) and re-invites her onto the bed. My 9 month old puppy is not allowed on the furniture. All he does when he gets up on the bed or sofa is roll around and play, and that is far too annoying to try to sleep with. He has to sleep on the floor until he can learn to settle down and sleep. We also have a cat, who sleeps between our heads. He purrs very softly, and is more of a comfort than an annoyance. — Jenn Standring remove "E" from "powersurfEr" to email

My three dogs and five cats all have access to my bedroom at night (most of the time). The dogs sleep on the bed. They generally stay in one spot and don’t bother me. The cats, on the other hand, can’t seem to stay put. They’re the ones who disturb my sleep. Two of my cats are 18 (human) years old and, for some reason, like to meow loudly at all hours of the night. (They were neutered many years ago. They loud meowing just started a couple of years ago.) I occasionally kick all the cats out of the bedroom and shut the door just so I will be able to sleep a little better. (I can still hear the meowing, though.) Given a choice, I’ll take the dogs and cats over a really good night’s sleep. 8^)~~~~ Sue (who, you might be curious to know, ~~~~~~~ is divorced without children) "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson http://eckhardt.net/suzanne/

My two Chow Chows don’t sleep in my bed: I sleep in their bed. By choice, I sleep on a gurney mattress on the floor. Also by choice, the floor is their bed. Michael

If hubby stays up late to watch TV and the dog takes his place in bed, I fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly when the dog is there than when I go to bed alone.
