do you sleep with your dog/cat

[Neversoft]

Me and my dad share the cat. She sleeps on his bed until he gets up to go work around 5am/6am, which is usually when I'm just going to bed, so then she comes and sleeps with me. When I'm at my mums the dog usually sleeps in his bed, but if I'm looking after him I let him sleep with me.

It's sort of common, I know a few people do it. It's difficult to get diseases from dogs and other animals in the UK as we seem to of built up an immunity from them, but it's not advisable in other countries. As long as the animal is clean and you're not doing anything unsanitary in the night you should be fine. Sleeping at the end of the bed or on the floor is the safest, or on the other side of the bed if you have a big enough one. I wouldn't like to imagine spooning a dog - and that's spooning in the dry sense of the word

My dog normally sleeps downstairs but my cat always sleeps at the end of my bed :p

Yeah my dog use to sleep with me in my old house until we moved and she has a nice cushioned bed downstairs. I had her bed in my room and she could choose where to sleep although she did love the corner of the room!

[Caution]

My dog sleeps under my duvet at the bottom of the bed.

Those who sleep with pets (especially dogs) and who don't get showers every morning should be aware that people can smell that awful dog smell whereas dog owners can't because they're used to it. As for myself I only have guinea pigs so I can't really have them in bed with me (not that I would anyway because I think its rather unhygenic) . I always wash my hands after touching them and they're my own pets, thats why I never pet dogs.

Naw I don't like hairs on my sheets and I don't like the idea of a cat using a litter tray then going all over my new sheets and trying to put its paws on my face while I sleep. I'll pass thanks

I do however sleep with my daughter Elizabeth, she's a babe. What an animal.
