on a light note, thought i'd start this thread to see who sleeps with their furry friends...dogs/cats or other

i used to sleep with my cat but he purred so loud he kept waking me up so had to ban him from the bed

now, i sleep with dog who takes up 3/4's of the bed  and gets mad if i move her (it's the only time she actually barks)

The cat sleeps with me every night...and all my dogs did too when I was growing up. I am so use to sleeping with the four legged kind than I am with the two legged kind.

Accck, what does that say about me???

Two humans, two dogs......recently got a king sized bed.  The new bed is higher so one pup can't do the climb in anymore. 

I share my bed with two dogs now and one cat. The cat is now nearly 18 pounds so outweighs my pup but each of them love to take one of my pillows. Skyler can be anywhere on the bed so some nights when I am there, it is easier to sleep in a guest bed. They eventually all come in there but it might take a night or two, so it is a constant rotation for me to have enough room to sleep. Luckily weekends I just take the dogs to the country so there is one less furry friend to share my bed with. I hope the next woman in my life owns a cot, it might come in handy.

I just have the one dog Greg and he would make room if you are without a place to sleep. You are still sexy

Cooper & Cuddles sleep by me although Cooper ends up on the floor eventually cause its cooler. Nicki moves around from bed to couch to bed through the night. Abby has her own bed she loves and Polly is on the prowl at night. It my husband I can't sleep with he snores like a bear.

I was gonna write that this is one topic that everyone can agree on as I remembered an earlier post on the subject.  That post also asked if you had a significant other that objected, what would you do.  Everyone also agreed that their pets came first!  Unfortunately, after re-reading the post, I discovered that was the one that someone suggested tying a dog to the bed  My animals in the bedroom can choose where they want to sleep (well, except for the puppy - for now he remains crated).  Sometimes I will have one, two or three cats curled up against me and if she feels like it, the other dog will too.  However, when I wake up it becomes a conflict -- the cats all vie for my attention, one or two by left arm, one or two by right and one or two sitting on my chest but the dogs want me to get up and let them outside!

And Jillian, a guy I work with recently got a mouthpiece that holds his jaw forward while he sleeps, he says his wife is very happy that he doesn't snore anymore!

"Sometimes I will have one, two or three cats curled up against me and if she feels like it , the other dog will too."

and do you wake up feeling like your have arthritis in every one of your joints?  i do...when my cats and dog cuddle with me (two on my lap) one on each side...i tend not to move so i don't disturb them but after awhile i get so stiff ... then, when i do move, my one cat in particular, gives me such a look as if to say "how dare you move me! " ...  yes, we all know who runs this household

Of course my black furry man sleeps with me!

He will usually keep my side of the bed warm and then moves over when I am ready to lay down.

In the morning, he moves back to my side when I get up to make coffee! 

We sleep on a King Size bed with a 9yr old German Shepherd over 100 lbs. A 1 yr old German Shepherd about 70 lbs. And we just got a puppy which right now isn't sleeping with us. But we think he is a Newfoundland or Newfie mix. He gets on the bed with us in the morning after he has gone outside first. He already is about half the size of our 1 year old. So he will be sleeping with us after he is housetrained. If the Shepherds get too warm they get down and sleep by the bed. we have slept with our dogs for over 13 years

Sounds like some of us need more than king-sized beds - me included

my big bloke sleeps where ever he pleases and I don't argue with him - but my question is why can't he stretch vertically and not horizontally across the bed

Stella either sleeps in the bed or under, depending on how many bad guys I'm fighting in my sleep. I don't sleep well when she isn't in the room with me!

Hi I'm new on here, and wanted to add that my whippet often sleeps with me, my scotty doesn't. But, he sleeps near me here in our condo, at our home in NC, he usually sleeps on his own bed. Sadie my whippet gets up and down and sometimes sleeps on the sofa. So, my nights are not very well slept. But, I dearly love my two and would not trade them for anything! BTW, my husband and I do not sleep together,  he snores too loudly!! I can put up with my dogs ( my family members) getting up and down, making grunts, etc.  Just wanted to add my own situation with my beloved pets.

Let's see if you can tell if my animals sleep in my bed. I have a king size bed and wake up like a pretzel.

From the dogs Frank??

I too have the king size bed, which is good since Unc likes to stretch out

Blu will get up in the bed for a few minutes but prefers to sleep on the floor or one of the leather couches (cooler I guess)

Sampson also sleeps on the bed, normally on the pillow over my head
