To have the dog in the bed with us?

[Namechange9373]

I bathed her this morning for the first time in well over a year as she rolled in poop. This was the result… she sleeps under the duvet with us every night.. how am I not ill? 🥴

On the bed would be OK, I wouldn't like a pet in the bed personally because it just seems dirty. Maybe it makes your immune system stronger having more bacteria around you, who knows!

There are studies that show it does bolster the immune system….

but my pup has a groom every six weeks and sleeps at end of bed (his choice) so I’m not that bolstered…

It's probably good for your immune system.
I've got 2 little ones in the bed but I wouldn't choose to do it again. They're getting old and a bit annoying during the night. I'm also aware that we might be near the time they might have accidents and will have to kick them out (which seems a bit unfair after so long in there but necessary).

I have hot flashes so mine can’t sleep in bed with me. However dirty she gets she’s still cleaner than a lot of men I’ve shared a bed with.

We only let ours on on sheet change day, although it is a struggle sometimes as he loves being under the duvet.

Surely you must just smell like dog all day long.

Aww, bless. Yeah, after seven years in the bed with us I don’t think she’d have it any other way.

Mine sleeps on the bed, on the blanket my son had as a baby. Not under the duvet.

As a dc my big ddog slept on my bed.. School threatened dm with ss!! FYI I have never had a cold or am ever ill. Sadly dh won't allow our ddogs on our bed.. But maybe 4 IS too many to fit on anyway!

My labs sleep on my bed.

I wish I could. We only have them for such a short time. But my sleep is so bad and he’s a big fidgety lab so constantly wakes me.

The odd time I’m drunk I allow it!

😂

Where would I be without a sausage shaped foot warmer in the winter months?

Yuk, I couldn’t abide the smell of dog in my bed. But then I’m a cat person!

Ours sleep ON the bed (supposedly at our feet but I have woken up to his face on the pillow next to me instead of DH!) but never under the covers.

Mine sleeps under the duvet - she scrapes the duvet back to get under, then settles with her nose sticking out at the end.
She’s like a hot water bottle that doesn’t make you sweat!

I am at that stage now. My dog is very old and I don't think we have very long left. But she is still on my bed at night (but with towels and puppy pads).

Our lurcher sleeps on our bed. It’s cosy!

Why?

Our two sleep on our bed and go under the covers. We haven’t died yet.

Presumably to not block the plumbing the all
the fur and wet dog smell.

You've never had a cold. Yeah, right.
