They will also eat your face off,should you be unfortunate to pass away in the night.A dog, on the other paw,would probably die on the spot of a broken heart or try to raise the alarm at least.

In summary,cat evil.Dog good.

Had a persian cat that used to jump on top of me and fall asleep every morning. Loved that cat.

I always used to bring my goldfish to bed,I took him out of the bowl and let him sleep beside me. Now he's dead.

If dogs must sleep on the bed, the rule of thumb is that they should be made sleep at the foot of the bed and not on the pillow; in a traditional pack this indicates dominance.

I keep my dog on edge. I move the pillows to alternate ends of the bed every night. He's begun to bite his nails and has taken up smoking. I think he'll take to the drink tonight though when I put the pillows in the middle of the bed and sleep across it. He won't know which end is up!

LOL

I remember seeing a lady on Jeremy Kyle National Geographic, who slept with her German Shephard on her bed for years, a real old pet, harmless as anything etc.. anyway one night it apparently had a bad dream, woke up and bit her nose off.. She had to have years of reconstructive surgery.. Put me right off ever letting a pet sleep near me..

That and the other reasons (peeing, shedding etc in my room)

yuk..

Why would you care either way, since you're dead anyway? Why would you prefer to feed the worms rather than a cat?

The odd night the dog will come up a crash out on my bed just before his normal bedtime so I will then be too lazy to go and put him downstairs so he just sleeps on my bed.

Its grand because he doesn't smell, doesn't piss/poo in house, doesn't shed hair and doesn't move around at night. So I basically use him as a hot water bottle.

He's a good dog.

One of my dogs will mosey on up to my room and hop on the end of my bed for a sleep. I just say hi and leave him be. Then I wake up in the morning and he's curled up in a ball beside my head sleeping soundly. He so funny!

The other dogs afraid of the stairs so I dont have to worry about her....

My dog has started sleeping on my bed recently. She stays in my room anyway. She's a Shepherd, about 13kg, ten months old. She's quite protective, and when I'm under the covers she usually sits on top of my legs growling at any noises she hears near my door, as I live in a studio apartment. Is sleeping on the bed going to make her more protective? Perhaps this is a bad thing which I should be doing something about, I'm not sure. She sleeps at my feet though, not alongside me.

you have a shepard dog and you live in a studio apartment? how that working out for ye??

My dog slept with me always when I was young. She's a tiny little yorkshire terrier. She sleeps in my mam's bed now that I've moved out, but whenever I go back to visit she sleeps in with me again.

if you cant stand the heat,take your hand out of the kitten :pac::pac::pac:

GS in a studio apartment, you must walk her a lot. growling at noises would drive me mad, be careful she does not get aggressive.

She's fine. I thought the space thing would be an issue, but she's very comfortable here. You're right about the walks. She'll get out about 3-4 times a day, and at least one walk will be a good 45-60 minute walk.

She will growl at strange noises, but I just ignore her. She seldom barks, and doesn't have a loud bark anyway.

Also she's a shepherd mix, so not as big as a typical German Shepherd would be or anything.

Please please please don't tell my landlord though.

alexa5x5 · 23-05-2011 12:10PM

A while back I was taking care of my friend’s new Yorkshire terrier pup. She was very good but would only settle when she was in bed with me. I put her own little bed on top of the covers but every morning I woke up with her curled up under the covers with me. I didn’t mind, she never woke me, but she did have fierce bad morning breath.:D

Not a pure bred gs, what is she mixed with? get a Frisbee good exercise for her trying to catch it. slap her when she growls, she will catch on pretty fast.

My cat sleeps in my bed sometimes, she curls up between me and my boyfriend.

Never got any sleep in that house....

Cat Melodeon · 23-05-2011 12:23PM

If my husband is away, I usually end up sharing the bed with the toddler and at least one of the dogs (not the setter, her farts are frequent and toxic). The cat isn't allowed into the house at all though, she uses the shower as a toilet. The dogs would never crap in the house, they have manners. They know human's are the bosses too, never had any aggression issues with them at all. Good dogs, one and all. Bad cat though.

phill106 · 23-05-2011 12:26PM

Dog (cocker spaniel) usually sleeps at the end of the bed. Sometimes tries to come up to top of the bed, but I won't allow it. Always seems to love curling up between my feet (possible smell knocks out dog....)

I actually have no idea what she is mixed with. I took her in when she was a tiny wee thing. When she was a nipper I thought she was half Shepherd - half crocodile, but now she doesn't bite my furniture anymore. Most people can't guess what type of mix she is, but she's a goodlooking dog, I would upload a pic if I knew how.

Its not uncommon is Spain to see large dogs come out of compact high rise apartment blocks. As long as they are given plenty of exercise and care I couldn't see a problem.

It is the idiot in suburban Dublin that keeps his mut locked up in the back yard barking all day is what I can't stand.

lol I am never sure if people are being serious or not when they say things like this.

How insecure and lacking in self confidence do you have to be exactly that you worry about a kitten or Yorkshire Terrier displacing you in the hierarchy of your household? Jesus...

You almost fell for it, not quite. Kudos:pac:

Do, could be interesting to see what people think.

Just click 'manage attachments' below the textbox, then click browse, find the photo on your own computer, and upload.

when i lived at home i used to come back after a nt out sh!tfaced & bring our terrier up to bed with me, hes only little & is always clean so it was really cute having him to cuddle, i'd say the alcohol fumes knocked him out lol.
then after i bought my own house we got a spaniel mix from dogs trust, it was the most exciting thing about buying a gaf ha as i'd houseshared for 5 yrs so freedom to do what i liked etc wasn't an issue, i just always wanted loads of dogs. shes way bigger than we expected to get and splits her time between a doggy bed in our room & the sofa in the living room. shes a little messer loves jumping in muck n puddles etc so would never have her in the bed but its so cute when i get up in the mornings & her tail is wagging madly u'd think she hadn't seen me in a month. she wakes us if she needs to wee or poo in the night & doesn't shed. ah i love dogs they really make a home.

blaze1 · 23-05-2011 12:37PM

you can get your dogs dna tested!! not sure how much or even if its reliable but sounds fun. if i had the spare cash i'd do it cause our spaniel
definitely has something else in her makeup, her ears aren't as long as pure breeds & her
fur when it grows out is like a big curly fro instead of silky n straight. shes fab

A mate of mine has seven cats, four sleep outside while three sleep on the beds during the day.
