I know they say "if you lie down the dogs, you get up with flees". But I love it when my dog hops into bed and snuggles at my feet. Is it good for my microbiome? My mental health? What about COVID-19? We live in the center of a big city and she probably drags in a lot from the street. No flees so far though.

If you lie down with dogs, you get kissed in the morning.

Flees = runs from a bad situation.
Fleas = small bugs that nest on animals

Find a friend. Dogs belong on the floor or in a dog bed.

Last night I slept with two dogs and a cat. I have have had as many as four dogs and a cat before, it is normal for me. I had a coworker once said, " you sleep with those dogs, that means their butts are in your bed too" I said yes, their butts generally come with them.

I sleep with my 7 dogs and they form a circle around me when they sleep. Jealous, fat & lonely bitches?

I make the same mistake with each new puppy. I say each time "I will not start the habit of allowing my dog to lay on my bed." What happens? I just can't resist having my eight weeks old pup laying next to me as I watch television or read in bed. Before you know it that tiny pup is now much larger, and it doesn't occur to him that it's NOT his bed. Me: "Thanks, dude, for letting me sleep in your bed" - after washing all the bedding "Gimme a second, dude, and I'll have your bed made for you."

OP here. Sorry abut the "flees: I know, it's very upsetting. I will do better next time. Immigrant, you know... Yes, R11, she owns the bed now. I sleep sideways with bent knees and she love to snuggle beneath my butt (above the cover). I sleep much better now.

Funny, when I had a spouse to sleep with, her butt was in the bed, too. Now just two cats (with all the usual body parts).

Dogs have been found to carry the Coronavirus. But so what, they are cute and cuddly and you would probably catch the Corona from some crotchfruit at the supermarket anyway.

I'd rather catch it from a dog than from some asshole on the subway.

I once had a jack russell terrier that pretty much had to sleep in the bed...burrowed under the covers. She'd come into my bedroom, sit by the bed, and make a distressed whining growl sound. She would keep making this noise until i said "Come on". She insisted on being "invited" onto the bed. Then she dug her way under the covers. Usually she'd curl up in a ball against my stomach. Or behind my bent knees. She was so warm. Neither of us moved around much in our sleep, so it worked out great. If I rolled over on her, she'd squeeze her way out from under me, but she'd stay on the bed.

OP, R12, Don't take it personally DL likes to point out spelling or grammar errors. I get corrected all the time. Now, you're one of us.

R17, we have a Wire Fox Terrier that does the same but she stays above the covers. She loves to squeeze between me and my partner.

If a gentleman caller is invited to spend the night and objects to a 14 pound bundle of love sleeping on the bed with us, I know not to invite him back.

No dogs on furniture. They can sleep on the floor. Hate it. Especially when they try to go under the sheets.

I don't think dogs can transmit corona virus. I don't sleep with mine, but a lot of people I know love sleeping with their dogs.

R11, your dog doesn’t “lay” in your bed; your dog LIES there. Similarly, you don’t enjoy your dog “laying” next to you; your dog is LYING there.

Our dachshund shares the bed with me and my husband, sometimes sleeping at the bottom of the bed but usually burrowing underneath the duvet and curls up between us.
I know it’s probably unsanitary and unwise for all kinds of reasons, but she seems to love it and - truth be told - so do we.

My cat sleeps at the top of my head and often grooms me in the middle of the night. I like the cat more than my husband.

I am a very light sleeper and have allergies, so no, the dogs don't sleep in the bed with us. Our previous dog did; every time he moved, I woke up, and he carried pollen on his fur from being outside into the bed, which exacerbated my allergies.

I wipe my dog's butt with a flushable wipe after he poops and rinse his paws off in the tub if it's muddy or rainy outside, so he's welcome to relax or sleep anywhere in the house.
