to just not understand how people can let their pets share their bed?

[irishchic]

Is it just me who finds the thought of dogs, cats and guinea pets sharing their owners bed absolutely disgusting? And btw i like pets, I just think they do not belong in the bedroom. Think of the fur, danders, fleas etc...ugh!!

guinea PIGS not pets!

Other people have different views on what is disgusting.

I like having a nice soft cat weight lying on the duvet around my feet. It's very comfortable and a lot less wriggly than a toddler.

Aww my two labs share the bed with me and dp, I do hoover the bed and change the sheets often enough though. Its nice in winter to have a lab shaped foot warmer

YANBU!! When I had cats it was lovely having them sleep on the bed with us....they were part of the family.

Not all pets have fleas you know and so what about the fur?? Humans shed skin......cats shed fur.....so what!

I have to say, I have never heard of anyone sharing a bed with a guinea pig though....wouldnt they poo in it?? I would draw the line at that

Sorry, meant to say YABU

I used to let my cat on the end of the bed until the live-blackbird-at-4am incident.

I can confirm that my 2year old leaves more residue in the bed than my cat ever did.

my dog's probably cleaner than most people- and she doesn't have fleas, either.

this is her house too, & she can go where she likes.

Yes I find it yucky. I also hate seeing dogs lick their owners

My cat's definitely cleaner than most people!

I can't believe that anyone would get in a bed with Peter Doherty but Kate Moss, who could probably be picky, did.

What you find 'disgusting' other people don't. 'Tis the way of the world.

My pets are definitely cleaner than some humans.

Hmmmm...maybe IABU. I just could never do it though. My sister would though. She also lets friendly dogs lick her face which I also cannot comprehend, the dog could have been licking its balls just before licking her!

I'd love to let my cats sleeps on the bed, but they would wake us up in the middle of the night. I do love it when they come in for cuddles on lazy Sunday mornings, along with the DCs!

My dog is clean and is cheaper than an electric blanket.

i have four cats but non of them are allowed in my bedroom, they have all the rest of the house but no i dont want them in bed with me thank you,

I couldn't share my bed with a pet. I think it's gross (sorry!) but then I don't have any pets as I'm not really a pet person so don't understand whole cuddling an animal thing.

Emmm YABU but my name might have given away where I stand (or sleep) on this one

Fleas? My pets most certainly don't have fleas.

YANBU. Gross.

I've shared a bed with people who were a deal less hygienic than the dog. I know which I prefer!

All our cats sleep on the bed, and when I give in and a dog joins our family, it probably will too. Oh, and the rabbit sleeps with ds.

My cat shares my bed. She serves as my hot water bottle and alarm clock.

She's cleaner and takes up less space than my DP so if anyone goes it's him

My kids have nits all the bloomin' time! Wish you could get frontline for kids, my dogs are treated so they don't get fleas.

I chose small affectionate dogs because that is what I wanted in a dog, I could understand not wanting big, hairy smelly dogs on the bed, but I'm very happy to sleep with my mini-hot-water bottles - and the best thing is that they never go cold!

My Siamese sleeps with DH and I. He has no fleas and is very clean.

He loves getting in between us! He taps me sharply on the shoulder when he wants to get under the duvet! Then I let him!

He purrs all night and is like a nice hot water bottle. With claws.
