So my dog thinks that she has to sleep on my bed at night. She is a small dog and that shouldn't be a problem, right? Wrong. She is the biggest bed hog, then if I decide I am uncomfortable and need to move, she has the nerve to growl at me (I have a twin bed). It is actually much worse sleeping with my mom's dog too, which only happens when my parents are out of town and I am sleeping in their bed (a queen). You would think that I have more room, but the dogs can't sleep on the same side of the bed, so I get pinned in. I pretty much have to sleep in the same position all night. They aren't big dogs, infact they are considered small. But I digress from the original reason I started this note.
My parents (me too for that matter) believe in waiting as long as possible before turning on the heater. It makes for cold nights and mornings, but that is what we have blankets for. My furry little beast thinks that she needs to sleep under the covers at night. I don't like it. She has this bad habit of licking and leaves huge wet spots which are disgusting and cold to put your foot on in the middle of the night. So my glowing eyed friend gets to sleep on the top curled up next to me, until I can take her pathetic look no longer and let her come under the covers, which usually isn't until the morning after I come back upstairs from family prayer. Does that mean that I am going to give into my children if they give me puppy dog eyes and a quivering chin long enough?

I don't let polo sleep with us. He has jumped on the bed maybe 2 or 3 times (so less than once a month) and I always push him off. I let him in my lap sometimes, and I will cuddle with him on the floor, but not in my bed, especially since he is shedding, has white fur, and we just got black sheets.
Some one asked me tonight if I let my dog sleep in my bed. I said "No, I let Brett sleep in my bed." I have slight dog allergies. I don't seem to get them noticeably with Polo (but I always have allergies, so as long as I don't get them a lot with him) but I still like to keep the bed fur and dander free for this purpose... my allergies are more sensitive when I am trying to sleep.
I wouldn't let him any way though. I can play in the mud with the best of them, but I like my bed to be sanitary. I can't even sleep if I think the bottom of my feet are dirty. Plus, sleeping higher than him reinforces to him that I am alfa, and he is obedient.
