Whew… I guess I’m lucky that Bella has no interest in sleeping on the bed. (Sometimes when the husband’s away, I’ll try to get her to hang out on the bed with me. It only lasts about 30 minutes and then she hops down – she gets too hot.) We haven’t encouraged Tavish to sleep on the bed with us either – it’s a tall bed and I think I’d be too worried about him hopping on and off. So, that does help a little – and both of my pups also seem pretty uninterested in what’s going on, so that helps!

All I can say is the presence of the dog does prevent spontaneity. She doesn’t sleep in the bedroom with us except on rare occasions and I can’t lie, this is totally one of the reasons. Shiva likes to be involved in everything we do and any movement usually has her much too interested. We have learned this the hard way.

These comments are awesome. Considering how it’s something we’ve all dealt with, I am so glad someone was brave enough to bring it up!

Haha! I am glad you brought this subject up. Boogie does not like being on the bed if we are having sex. He gets into his own bed (next to my bed) and LICKS HIMSELF VERY LOUDLY for a very long time, which provides quite a distracting and unromantic soundtrack. And then he falls asleep but I know he is secretly watching and listening. As soon as we are um… done, he instantly hops onto the bed, “I heard you finish. Here, please throw this ball”.

Although this post probably got the most comments (sounds like we all have a lot to get off our chests):), it’s nowhere near my most popular.

I think I got less than 500 hits the day it posted. My most popular post got over 1500 the day I published it: https://www.somethingwagging.com/2011/11/26/10-things-your-dog-is-most-thankful-for/. Most of the traffic came from StumbleUpon.

Of course, if you think the sex lives of dog lovers is Stumble worthy (hint, hint), I won’t complain. 🙂

As for Desmond, as a dog trainer, you know the importance of gently exposing dogs to unusual experiences. I prescribe lots and lots of nookie to make sure he feels confident and comfortable.

Haha! I’m so glad you wrote this because seriously, nobody talks about it! This is why we teach the “bedtimes” command in our house. That way the dog knows that when we say “bedtimes”, he’s got to go lay in his bed until we release him. Then it’s cuddle time for everyone! 🙂

Omg, please report back and tell us if this is your all-time most popular post.

My input is this: Desmond is always in the bed. We move or ignore him as much as possible. Sometimes he jumps off; sometimes he just stays there like a weirdo. Either way, there is much sniffing after and he acts like we just came home from work. We have tried to distract him with bones/chews, but he always comes back to be nosy.

Dear Kolchak, Felix and Jodi,

Thanks for this. The received wisdom among us men is that there’s nothing like a “wolf whistle” to put women in the mood.

I wonder, though, if this approach would really work with the eyeglasses I might have to abandon them in favor of my red rubber clown nose and my rainbow suspenders. Subtlety is everything.
