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? 🥴

I'm a cat person too. They snuggle on me every night. Plus cats don't smell. I love sniffing them 😅

Dog lover here but mine sleeps outside my bedroom door in his basket. Happy as Larry. I’d never ever have a dog in the bed with me - to me it’s gross. But each to their own.

Wait until your cats are elderly. Old cats are gross.

Ha, my young cat is already quite gross but I love him! 😻

Cats do smell as do their litter trays which lots of people keep in their kitchens 🤢🤢🤢

@AMFA Mine does exactly that, except entire body and head fully covered. I cannot sleep without him♥️

My cats don't smell. They smell lovely. My little box is in the bathroom and gets cleaned regularly

This. Y'all noseblind. Animal houses smell. Even pristine ones.

Don't know if it helps that they're indoor cats. But I could sniff them all day long. Proper comfort and very cuddly. Love having them tucked in bed every night.

My 2 dogs are not even allowed upstairs.

Nah it's fine, my dog is old, lumpy, smelly and hairy quite dirty too I guess as he hates a bath but his been in our bed for 15 years so can't turf him out now.

I do change my covers quite regularly though and haven't used white bedding for 15 years!

It's an extremely warm and cosy one though so 🤷‍♀️

@caringcarer same not allowed upstairs
I grew up on a farm , animals smell.

I'm a dog lover and have 2 big dogs, but would never let them sleep in my bed! Eww.
Their dog beds are manky and get washed/replaced often. How are your sheets not stained brown (unless they never get walked)?

Good Lord 😳. Where are you finding men filthier than dogs and how do you get off with such levels of filthy ?☹️

In bed, I have a dog on one side of me and a cat on the other (DH snores so often gets booted out to the spare room 😜)

We may stink but we have superhuman immune systems 💪

You're not wrong given the subpar hygiene standards.
Lots of stinky fuckers around. God help us through this damp season 🤢.

My dog sleeps downstairs but she joins me by sitting on the bed at the weekend (when DH is out of the house early) and I have a coffee in bed. Pretty sure that I am correctly sensing her absolute delight at this treat. She bolts up the stairs and onto the bed as soon as she sees that the coffee is on the go💕 . She doesn’t attempt to do this any other time.
….She definitely doesn’t go under the duvet though. Eeew.

I hate to think what the smell must be like. It's bad enough when people bring medium sized dogs onto trains and they stink out the carriage.

Just send her to the groomers every six to eight weeks and hoover your bed, this dirt would not be coming off in your bed as she is not wet then, it's also this time of year they get more dirty, towel dry her when she gets in from a walk.
She is fine in your bed.

Dog owners have gotten worse.
Fuck that.

@KindlyOldGoat dogs don't smell if you are hygienic and have them bathed and teeth cleaned, dogs who live in a dirty environment might smell but personally I think a lot of men are more dirty.

How strange. Never had an issue with either in 30 years of owning dogs.

Same. It is my own hair that clogs the pipes, not my dogs.

I have dogs, I am very very aware that they smell doggy, this is why I don’t let them on upholstered furniture or beds - means a good mop and a hoover keeps things relatively fresh.

totally agree you can still smell dog faintly in my house (which I don’t mind at all) - but I can’t sit on the sofas in houses where dogs use them too!
