do you sleep with your dogs?

My parents don't allow me to sleep with my lovely dog. They think it's not good for health. Although I don't care about it and very like to sleep with him, I have to follow my parents' rule. Perhaps it's quite weird to sleep with dogs in China. So I am wondering do you sleep with your own dogs in your country?

I don't raise a dog myself.But I often see people walking with their dogs.In fact those dogs are very lovely.Nowaday more and more young like to raise a dog.And be good friends with the dog.But sleep with dog seems a little weird,but it's hard to comment about it.

I am from the U.S. It is quite normal to sleep with your pets here. I don't see a problem with it. I think that it is a good bonding time with your pet.

There are nights that my dog comes to sleep with me. And I really like it when she does. It's not every night, because some nights, she goes to sleep with my mom. But hey at least i can say that she comes to sleep with me some nights.

I sure do!! I have a great pyrenees and a jack russell dauchsund mix and they take up over half the bed!! My great pyrenees is the biggest dog i've seen in a very long time. He is taller than me when he stretches out. And the jack mix is a cuddler. He has to be right next to me at all times. My husband sleeps on the edge and I sleep somewhere in between him and the pyrenees, with the little one clinging to me. Its so hard to sleep when you can't move an inch. But I would not change a thing about it. I love my dogs and in my bed is where they will stay.

wow. It seems that you should have a very big bed. Do they lick you when you're sleeping? :-)

I sleep with 2 out of the 4 dogs that I have. I am not sure what I would do if I could not sleep with them. They are apart of my family and I would like them to feel as much at home as myself.

my two dogs arent allowed upstarirs so the dont sleep with us.the main reason they arent allwoed is because we have a cat and its the only place she can go to get peace from them.also my youngest daughter doesnt sleep that much because of the condition she suffers from so i like her to get as much as she can with two puppies running around theyd wake us up all the time.but on the other hand my parrents do let there dog sleep ion there bed and he takes over it

My dog sleeps with my fiance and I. She has slept with us since she was a puppy and she'll be 2 on Dec. 18... she is spoiled rotten but I wouldn't have her any other way. My fiance is a police officer so he's gone most nights and she keeps me company and comforts me in bed by snuggling me.
