Ogre had a great idea. He likes to cover our father pillow after taking a bath. I don’t have idea until I found that the pillow is warm – it keeps his tummy warm too until his breakfast is served (lol). My father appreciated the dog hobby better than warming his tummy in the sand then going to my father’s pillow. The dog, the pillow, and the incident reminds me of my father changing his pillow before going to work.

Ha ha ha! Actually, it’s easier on me when hubby is gone and the dogs and I have the bed to ourselves!

Ty has been known to occupy the vacated spot in the bed when one of us had to travel, but now that we climb a ladder to the bunk, the pups can’t make it up there.

So funny! My rules sound the same as yours! 🙂 The only problem with sharing the bed with the dogs versus the hubs… The dogs have way more muscle twitch/jimmy-legs, which startles me awake every single time!!

Honey looks so comfy on the bed!

Reba not only hogs the covers, but she also steals my pillow and snores a lot. She wants to sleep cuddled right up against you, and I often end up pushed against the wall. She’s very lucky that she’s cute and cuddly.

Diamond, on the other hand, never gets in the bed. We put her in bed with us only once, when we were staying at a hotel and had a room near the elevator. She was barking at every coming and going, so we hoped that putting her in bed between us would help her feel protected and realize she didn’t have to be the guard dog. She was confused and even scared and shaky at first. And then she proceeded to get comfy and steal my pillow. (Because I just can’t win.)

Sounds like Mike is a gem. Between Florian sleeping with the covers wrapped around him like a burrito–no less, a diagonal burrito–and Fozzie sleeping rolled up next to his head and Sandy down at the foot of the bed, there’s not much space left for me! I couldn’t imagine having it any other way, though.

I usually let the boys in bed when my OH is gone, but this weekend I broke tradition and sent them to their own beds. JF doesn’t sleep when he’s not confined because he’s constantly jumping off the bed to follow his devious cat pal, Lula. Dewi would be fine on the bed (although he insists on sleeping in the spoon position – meaning I am the spoon and he is the sugar), but I can’t just put JF in his crate and not Dewi.

Thankfully, the OH doesn’t go on overnight trips too often, sparing me these painful decisions. 🙂

We never used to allow Bella on the bed. (When I was a kid, I always let my dog sleep under the covers, much to my mother’s chagrin.) However, when the hub was out of town once, I tried to convince Bella to sleep in the bed with me. She lasted half an hour, then hopped down and went to her own bed. I felt a tad rejected! Now she’ll hang out on the bed with me when I’m watching TV, but she seems to prefer her own bed at night.

And here I was thinking Honey was too polite to be a cover-hog. Clearly I misjudged her. Those lovely eyes of hers hide her mischevious soul.

We all sleep better when the dog sleeps in her own bed – including Shiva. Perhaps it’s just because it’s such a novelty, but she can never relax when sharing. The last time I tried when Rob was away, I ended up on the couch. Because I couldn’t possibly move the dog from her comfortable spot. 😛

I hope your husband had a terrific time!
