Anyway, our dog hates stairs, so she can't get to our bedroom (convenient!). We put her in her bench to sleep right from the start and now it's her cosy place. She never bothered sleeping somewhere else. Friends in our street let her sleep in their bed (along with their two own dogs) when we're on holiday, but she never ever asked to do that here. She sleeps in her bench all the time.<br />She never even jumps on the couch: she's only allowed to do so if there's a blanket for her, or if it's on our lap. So she comes asking to be on our laps, putting one little pat on your leg to ask permission to jump on.

I wish she would not go on the couches either but she is getting old and that is what she loves.

Which works out for everyone. No dog hair everywhere (he sheds like no one's business). And since he is a Corgi (short legs, long back) there is no worrying about him hurting his back from all that jumping.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169659895652699244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134284938028045226.post-5357699124411853282010-04-07T19:57:20.545-07:002010-04-07T19:57:20.545-07:00Haha!

But when I had my boyfriend, the dog would sleep in his own bed, and would be giving me the "so you are kicking me to the curb" look. Eventually, we let him in the bed...and well, you described the rest above on your post :) By the way, this is my first time visitng your blog and it wont be the last, I can tell!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134284938028045226.post-90934132408518032472010-04-07T13:24:58.718-07:002010-04-07T13:24:58.718-07:00Guilty.

I don't have pets but my sisters-in-law had some dogs and it was hard for me to sit in the sofa after the dog have been there. <br /><br />I love animals but the have to have their own space from me.Theodora Ofosuhimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459901216965225700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134284938028045226.post-58659861123158010592010-04-07T11:20:02.069-07:002010-04-07T11:20:02.069-07:00Do kids count as pets?

But then the kids get bigger and they hog the bed. I now have layers of blankets and a comforter on my floor next to my bed. If they get scared in the night, they sleep there. I am too selfish to share my space. ;)Louriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477223472789865063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134284938028045226.post-55857529812416950702010-04-07T11:13:37.537-07:002010-04-07T11:13:37.537-07:00We have never let our dog sleep on our bed, though...We have never let our dog sleep on our bed, though I have been tempted. He would keep me so warm and is the greatest snuggler ever! But, instead he sleeps on his dog bed in the bedroom closet. He loves his bed. I think that even if we did invite him into our bed he would only lay there for a few minutes before getting up and going to his closet.Yankee Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920111229743918567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134284938028045226.post-49380917367425073442010-04-07T11:12:43.544-07:002010-04-07T11:12:43.544-07:00My cat tries to sleep with us, but she wants to sl...My cat tries to sleep with us, but she wants to sleep on our heads.
