My dog is about 45 pounds, and has slept in my bed for the last six years. If I move too much before going to sleep she actually grumbles at me, & if I annoy her too much she makes a big production out of getting up and going to lay on the floor.

I have a 75lb. pitbull that sleeps by my legs and a simase cat that sleeps with me and my husband(although they are my animals)I would not have it any other way. I love having my animals in my bed and they alert me to anything out of the ordinary. They don’t wake me up otherwise. I am the pack leader and everyone always comments on how well behaved my pit is, so no sleeping with me has not changed my status in our pack.

8lb Shiz Tsu, sleeps with her head rested on my arm, I some time rub her belly to make her fall asleep. Sweetest dog I ever owned and never bark at any one or any dog.

well, there’s nowhere comfortable to sleep except on the cats’ bed.

My mother-in-law made a big stink about getting rid of my cats when my son was born, cuz \They’ll steal the breath from the baby.\
Then when she found out we were keeping them, she told us to make sure they were outside at night because \They have worms that crawl into your eyes and blind you!\

Unbelievable…we still have cats. My son grabs one when he goes to bed and we get the other one.

My cat does not sleep with me. I leave the bedroom door closed whenever I’m asleep or not home, because I have various cages of rodents [hamsters, guinea pigs, etc] as well as finches. He’s usually very good with them, but I don’t want to risk it.

I sleep with 4 dogs each and every night. 2 beagles, a lab mix and a jack russell. I actually bought a cali king bed just so the dogs would have more room. My husband and I can’t imagine life without them. Sometimes they are a pain in the neck but overall there is nothing more comforting than a warm snuggly beagle when one is not feeling well or is very tired. They snore and they at times try to take over the bed, but overall they are sleepy, lazy dogs!

My cat used to sleep with me, but now she doesn’t. I kind of wish she still did though lol When my boyfriend stays over she just wants to cuddle with us in bed the entire night, but she likes to lay right near our heads so that’s a problem. When my boyfriend isn’t staying the night she doesn’t want to sleep on the bed, so she’s up playing around the apartment. The only problem with that is that I live in a small one bedroom apartment and the bedroom has no door, so when she does something noisy it wakes me up and there’s nothing I can do about it because I have no door to close!

My partner and I used to let our dogs sleep on the floor of our room at night during winter and leave them out during the warmer months. Our excuse was that they would get cold outside in winter. It only ever gets to about -5C on even the coldest nights here… and our dogs were huskies! Excuses excuses, huh?
