Taking pets to bed?

crossmolinalad · 23-05-2011 12:44PM

Have a lab
He stays in the living room untill 6 o clock in the morning
Then he comes to the bedroom walking around the bed to find the best place to lay down
Will be there for an hour then starts waking me up to go outside
Every day the same except if its bad outside then he will lay down longer on the bed
Hes not smelling at all because were going almost every day to the beach with him

Last time I went out with a girl who had a cat, this happened loads:

Attachment not found.

Never got any sleep in that house....

Exact same. Girlfriend has a cat and sleeps in the room. Sometimes on the bed, sometimes on the floor. He usually wakes me up halfway through the night by scratching the side of the bed. I do be pretty annoyed at been awoken but i still can't put him out of the room the next night.

When im at home one of the dogs will sleep in my room.
Otherwise sleeps in my mams room. it usually sleeps on a chair unless it gets cold during the night, then it will get on the bed.

I don't think you have to worry about the hierarchy thing with dogs, unless the dog is not letting anyone else get on the bed, or refusing to get off when you try and make it, then its knows its place.

Nothing wrong with it at all.

I always lets my pet jellyfish Kate up onto the bed for a snooze. Golly she snores though.

What happens if she stings you - would you be able to piss on yourself to stop the stinging?

Note: Piss contains ammonia which neturalises a jellyfish's sting.

FlowersByRay · 23-05-2011 01:27PM

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.

OK, here goes! She's a bit bigger now but you get the picture. I hope!

I love having an animal sleep in the bed with me! And when she's away I like cats and dogs too, especially if they put their head on the pillow

Gorgeous dog!:)

I have a male Rottweiler, if he was to start sharing the bed with my boyfriend and I we'd have no room! He has two beds downstairs which he can chop and change between depending on his mood.:rolleyes:

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

Eh,cats are evil.

Yeah I'm not sure what exactly she's a mix of, but most vets just say Shepherd Mix.

I'd love to get the DNA testing done, sounds like fun, and would help figure out her temperament maybe.

Most people from country stock wouldn't let the cats & dogs into the house apart from maybe the kitchen, well none of my relatives ever did & that's 6 different counties

Although one of my Aunt's used to let the kittens born of the farmcats for miilk & leftover dinners, when the husband was out. I don't think the farmcats ever got catfood either :eek:

This must be a town / city thing I reckon, you seriously can't let a cat or dog in your bedroom especially if they go outside during the day:eek:

You're all becoming softies, creatures in your beds!!! :rolleyes: Who's in charge here?

marty1985 · 23-05-2011 05:28PM

I think it depends on the dog though. A lot of the locals where I am have toy breeds like little poodles and such, and probably spend a fortune on grooming. Why leave a dog like that outside?

Other breeds might not shed much hair at all, and can be quite clean, and obviously trained not to go to the toilet inside. You can give a dog a shower, buy indoor dog food that doesn't stink, you can even buy perfume for a dog.

I might have considered keeping my dog outside, but there is no "outside", I have a small apartment, that's it. But it's worked out fine. Also, when she's outside, it's for walks with me. It's not like she's outside rolling around in fields all day and we just hook up before bedtime.

Cunning Stunt · 23-05-2011 06:16PM

Our dog has slept in our bedroom ever since we got him as a pup. He has his own little doggy bed in the corner. He is never allowed on our bed.
I think it's lovely to have him sleeping in the same room, especially if I am home alone, as I am a real scaredy cat and it's nice to have him there.

He can snore like a motherf*cker though, which is a bit of a drawback..:rolleyes:

Nowhere near as evil as dogs.

Mr. Presentable · 24-05-2011 12:34PM

What's the protocol? Do you have to buy them flowers, dinner, drinks before making your move?

airman101 · 24-05-2011 12:54PM

i have a 3 yr old kid thats insists on getting into my bed in the middle of the night, does he count as a pet tho?? all he does is eat, sleep, poop, wee and break stuff... not unlike many cats and dogs!!

Vicxas · 24-05-2011 12:59PM

Yeah my cats pushed the door in and sleep at the bottom of the bed

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...

Nothing to do with lacking self-confidence. To be honest, if you don't understand the pack mentality of a dog you shouldn't own one.

Laisurg · 24-05-2011 01:54PM

My jack russel will scratch the door like mad all night if i don't let him in.

Big Nasty · 24-05-2011 02:06PM

Every. Bloody. Night.

orchidsrpretty · 24-05-2011 02:11PM

At night we have two humans, a boxer who sleeps in the middle under the covers with her head on the pillow; two cats, one sleeps across my neck, the other beside the spaniel and a cocker spaniel who sleeps at the bottom of the bed. Happy family:)

My aunts daughter has this German shepard that ALWAYS follows her to bed and guards the room, he's weirdly hyper protective over her, do you bring your pets to bed?

no, whenever I let the cat do this she just wakes me up really early to be fed. very annoying.
