I used to say I'd never have dogs on the bed, but then when I got Pickles I let him sleep on the bed cos he was only small. Then when he passed away I got lonely, so Isla now sleeps on the bed. It's just gonna snowball from there me thinks......

Well i can see why that would put some people off but my 2 still come 2 bed with me. Yogi only being small sleeps on the bottom of the bed with me and my husband and you don't even know he is there. Amber being that much bigger has a bed on the floor in our bedroom but she always ends up at the top of the stairs half way through the night.

Selkie prefers the top of the stairs too. She always likes to choose the most in the way spot to sleep so we can't get past her without waking her up!

The whippet occasionally come to bed with us as a treat only one at a time though as there'd be no room for us. The setter will sometimes come upstairs but she's a fidget and uaually gets sent back down stairs after a couple of hours. The greyhounds never come to bed with us .They both snore like a couple of pigs they sleep in the back room which is directly under us and you can hear them snoring in the night

We have recently moved to a 2 bedroom flat, with Jeff being a bit 'iffy', I leave my bedroom door open, and usually find a little 'lodger' in with me at about 4am. She doesn't snore, doesn't move and with the dreaded firework's starting to go off outside, I don't mind her being there. She gets so depressed and afraid, I find the company helps her a little.

Poppy doesn't sleep on my bed, but she gets picked up and put on the bed on Saturday and Sunday mornings for half an hour for a cuddle.

She can't get up and down on her own, but even if she could, I wouldn't allow her to sleep on the bed with me, I think she would become too dependent on me.

I wouldn't have dogs in my bed. It wouldn't do my sex life any favours.

That made me laugh! That's exactly what my dogs do think! they don't do floors, they're not interested in their crates and when asleep it is nearly always on furniture! But that's why I have them, I have 2 small non-shedding breeds and a big part of the pleasure I get from them is cuddles on the sofa and in bed.

Don't know if I'm just lucky but they certainly don't take the mickey and get off the furniture and bed when told to. In fact Pepper, my Schnauzer, mostly chooses to sleep in her bed next to our bed and little Gozo is generally on the bed.

It may be a coincidence but Gozo has slept upstairs from day 1 and is more attached than Pepper who was downstairs for the first 18 months we had her.
