| | Lil Dog | Since my husband left for Korea I couldn't imagine NOT having Tor in the bed with me. I've never lived on my own until now, it was from my mom's, to the army, to James (husband). Now that he's gone it's just me and Tor, so as you can tell, he's with me EVERYWHERE. |

| This was such a great thread, nice to see I wasn't the only one developing a curvature of the spine over time. It was worth it, that's what my Chiropractor was for. Fun thread, Thanks for the smiles!

| I would put in my 2 cents, but I'm afraid you'd send the men in the white coats to get us if I did... I was brought up much stricter than this, and how the good have fallen!!! lois |

| Senta has always perferred to sleep on her own 'doggie' couch as I call it... She has slept with me before but has fallen off the bed... I decided thats not a good thing... She will come in once in awhile and sleep at the foot of my bed... where there is always a blanket for her. |

| Neither Boris nor Brie are allowed in my bed. Hubby almost broke that rule this winter. Both dogs have their favorite spots on the leather sofas. But now that I am fostering a 3rd dobie, everyone sleeps in thier crates. As soon as she is gone we will be back to sleeping on the sofa again. |

| | Big Dog | Bath day is bed day,
LoKi sleeps in his beds unless he gets a bath and then in which case we put a sheet on the bed and allow him up.
wife says every morning she wakes up to find the dog sleeping next to me and me with my arm around him.
(which I dont do with her LOL!)
mid night if I need him to reposition i tell him to move and he makes complaining noises while doing it, "mmraaafff wfffff hmmmmm" like an old man.

| 1. On the bed
2. Under the covers
3. On top of ME!
4. Since so long I do not remember sleeping any other way.
And ditto on the sound effects, if they're asked to move, and a big ditto on the thanks to the chiropractor for saving my poor spine, curved roughly in the shape of a supine Doberman!

Dogs Name: Kadence Dogs Age: 1 year
Gallery Pics: 7 Visit Monica's Gallery Thanks: 28
Thanked 32 Times in 28 Posts
| Kade does not sleep on the bed. She jumped up here one time when DH and I were horseplaying and it was such a shock, we stopped, looked at her and she jumped right back off the bed. If there is a blanket on the floor she will immediately claim it. She lays underneath it- completely, or she will lay on top of it.
That being said, I have told DH that on his next deployment it will be very hard for me to say no to having Kade sleep with me.
Neither of our dogs are allowed on the furniture. That being said, I KNOW they lay on the couches at night after we have gone to bed. I get up to get a drink and as soon as my feet hit the tile floor, I hear them jump off.

| Neither Dobe is allowed to sleep on the bed. That spot is reserved for my ChiX. It's his safe spot under the covers. The cats sleep with us.
All the dogs are allowed on the sofa. At first it was by invite only. Then we lost our senior lab in Jan and hubby and I decided with Zack being 7 that we didn't want to regret not letting him up on the sofa. Then Stella came along and of course she had to lay next to us.
