To let the dog sleep in my bed whilst DH is away?

[OverTheHammer]

A week on Wednesday, DH goes away with work for two days. On the Thursday, my ddog is due to be neutered.

AIBU to let him spend Wednesday night sleeping in his mummy's bed getting loads of attention and cuddles whilst it's just the two of us??!

He's normally confined to the kitchen on a night (which he hates!) so my main concern is that he realises what he's missing and it unsettles him?

He's a French bulldog btw

I would definitely do it!

In the bed? That's gross. Sorry.

On the bed? Well I wouldn't, but each to their own.

YANBU.

My DH is in for a shock when he gets back from his work trip - our toddler DD and two cats have moved in to our bed

Yuk. Revolting.

I would normally say no because the Ddog will expect to stay every night, but after an operation is different as they will still be in pain and needing comfort. I set up a camp bed in the living room when my DDog had an op as he was really suffering and the vets wouldn't let me give him any more painkillers and he was much happier being near me.

YABU for not letting him sleep there all the time.

Not in the bed

On top of the covers, maybe.

I wouldn't do either personally.

I don't think it a big deal except you need to be ready for the possibility that he won't want to stop once dh is back and causes issues.

Well obviously not IN the bed! (Although ... ?)

No I mean on top of the covers, just for one night and then I'll wash all the bedding the day next day.

The best thing about life as a single mum in a LDR is that 12 nights out of 14 I can have all the cats in my bed if I want

Do it! Hope his op goes well, poor pupper x

To let him sleep on your bed? Not BU
Referring to yourself as his 'mummy? .... just a bit.... unless you are a dog...

Will it cause problems when he has to go back downstairs the following night? That would be my only concern!

I adopted him, I'm his mother 😝

Of course you should. Lots of tlc.

I best tell nachodog to get out the bed... 😂 hes slept in/on the bed since the night i got him. Sheets and bedding washed at very regular intervals so all good. Oh and no man to steal my duvet 😂😂

Let the poor fella sleep wherever he likes, no matter what people think!

It's not every day he gets his bollocks chopped off - if cuddles in the middle of the night comfort him even minorly absolutelydo it!

Ah yes, I let my dog on the bed one night six years ago. He's going back to his own bed any minute now.

Nothing wrong with a dog or two on the bed.

i would but then my dog spends part of the night on top of my bed then he decides to fuck off to his own bed

My old dog always slept on the bed when DH was away. He never tried to get on the bed when he was home.
New dog is a bit cheekier and does jump on the bed with us. He's allowed to stay as long as he's at the bottom and doesn't wriggle round!
Bed gets hoovered every morning though!

My dog has slept on my bed since he was six weeks old. He's now 14.

Bed linen is washable, I'm still alive.

Do it.

No thanks, I have a collection of big dogs. I will
Occasionally allow an adult through in the winter when my husband is working late, but not any of those who will kick off about going back through to the kitchen, and never young ones.

Do it. I always have my two little doggies with me when my husband has to go away. They sleep on the bed and it's lovely. No problems when he comes home as they just go back into the kitchen at night. To see their excitement when they realise they are getting the privilege is a joy to behold.

Yanbu. Don't see the problem, dogs are cleaner than a lot of humans
