Do you allow your pets to sleep in your bed with you?

I used to have a big, black lab who slept on the bed. If we moved she would growl at us and if my ex snored she would get off the bed and go and sleep in the lounge room.

You are allowed a bed? Our cat allows us to sleep in HER bed!

Seriously, our cats gave always slept ion our bed, but not our dogs.

We did draw the line when one of our Siamese insisted on snuggling gown, under the covers, actually between us!
 
...of course Bella sleeps in my bed, she has her own side of the bed, her own pillow, her own recliner.....
 

One of my sisters sleeps with two pugs, one incontinent (she finally put diapers on him). The other one sleeps with two giant labs. Even with a king-sized bed, there's not much room for her and her husband. When I house sit for them, the dogs sleep in the living room.....I don't sleep with dogs, at least not 4-legged ones. As the saying goes, "Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas".

So far I don't have fleas. I'll have my husband check again tomorrow. :) But, if it were up to me, I'd have the dogs sleep in nice little doggie beds and NOT in our bed.
 
In high school I slept with my favorite cat every night. He slept under the covers and with his head on the pillows like a human. It was too precious. I've never shared my bed with dogs who can become more prone to separation anxiety than cats. It's opening up a can of worms so the dog should sleep in a dog bed.

I'd rather sleep with dogs than some of the things I see people sleeping with.

My mother's cat slept with me when I was a kid. She traveled every night, she'd put me to bed then walk up to my parents room for the night. Over the years there were always cats, sometimes a baby in our bed. Now the dogs have pretty much taken over. Together they weigh a bit over a hundred pounds so It's like having a third person in bed sometimes. It's funny when we got Sophie hubby said no dog in the bedroom
After her separation anxiety showed itself
She can sleep on her bed on the bedroom floor
Then she started sleeping on my feet
Okay, as long as she stays at the foot of the bed
Then came Callie
He can sleep with our daughter
Except he knew Sophie was with us so he would scratch the door
Okay if he stays at the foot of the bed
But he has peach fuzz fur and he gets so very cold
Okay just keep his claws out of my back please
 
Yes, I always allowed my cats to sleep with me and they even had their own pillows. I love the sound of their purring and trilling when I go to sleep.
 
Over the past several months my cat Bella has developed a slightly different routine. From my bed she can hear me brushing teeth. She jumps off the bed. Then I put something in her snack bowl. Lights out, except the nite lite in the kitchen. I say “Good Night”. She perches at the bedroom entrance. About 5 minutes later she sprints to the big chair in bedroom corner and settles in. She only uses her kitty bed for naps.

Our boy cat, Christopher, used to perch at my wife'sChristopher as a kitten '89.jpg feet and look up as if to say "hey, it's bedtime". She had her own room and she and Christopher headed there about 11pm. He's gone but he was a sweet boy.
 
A couple times I got out of bed to get something cold to drink and apparently Bella had moved to the floor. OMG….I stepped on her tail! Such a loud, piercing scream. I felt terrible. :cry:
 
We've had dogs and cats over the years. They have all slept with us or in the case of the one bigger dog...near us. They were our family. Our little doggie is the sweetest little thing and snuggles like crazy. When I had cats..they even slept behind my pillow. Cats are wonderfully relaxing with that motorboat purr.

our 18 year old tabby passed away last summer. He is missed.

My bed is kind of high and Bonnie has a bit of arthritis so she hasn't tried to get up on the bed -- she'd be welcome if she did, though. She starts out the night sleeping on the couch-- I pet her and then put her blankie over her now that it's so cold and she makes a little sigh and contentedly goes off to sleep. Sometime in the night she usually gets up and comes to her bed on the floor beside my bed. I find the sound of her breathing kind of comforting. She's a pretty good snorer on occasion, too. A lot of the time she likes to sleep on her back with all her feet in the air -- so cute to see a big ol' pitbull sleeping upside down with her feet in the air. I just love her dearly. I can't understand why someone would abandon such a wonderful dog at the shelter, but their loss is my gain!
