Does your dog take over a bed in your house ? Mine sure does !

It's a good thing I have a queen mattress because Sabre takes up a whole side. And he has morning breath... Someone needs a doggy mint...

Only my imaginary basset hound.

My dog is only 25 pounds so she doesn't take over the bed. She sleeps right up against me and at some point in the middle of the night, she ends up sleeping above my head on my pillow. I always wake up with either her paw, tail, butt or head on top of my head. I don't think I could sleep without her in bed with me.

Nah. She has claimed her own space on the lounge but we've kept her out of the bedrooms.

Mind you, one night I forgot to close the kitchen door and she woke me up next morning tiptoeing up my bed. Yeah, really. Tiptoeing. She has this guilty look on her face as though saying, "I'm not going to be in trouble, am I?"

Yep! Every dog I've ever had has been on my bed before I even got in!

No, not take over in that sense as Grace is too small.

Looks as you need more bed or less dog (unthinkable!) Rooster!

We have two bichon cross dogs .. And a king size bed .. And a bad back .. From sleeping in a postage stamp size corner of the bed .. Because THEY take up so much of freek'n  room .. But I guess I'm pretty fortunate they let me sleep in it at all

Part of what fascinates me about dogs is that most have no "personal space" (that 18 inches that most humans require) at which point a dog might otherwise might otherwise move away from me.

The amount of trust they have in me is fascinating to contemplate---and I revel in the philosophical ramifications of that.

So, not exactly "take over"---but only because I put up minimal resistance at best.

I am the oddball here. I am thinking GERMS and inhaling HAIR! Oh it is just a gross thought! There is only one animal I allow in the bed with me and he is the two legged kind! Lol!

Mine sleeps with me in the bed but she only weighs 12 lbs.
