I've had 4 dogs (including a greyhound), that sleep (or have slept) with me over the years. Even though they had/have their own beds, they still prefer to sleep in my bed. I even got stairs for the smaller dogs to use to get up and down.
I'm just wondering how many of you let your dogs sleep with you?
(I tried to create a poll but it doesn't seem to be working).
My dogs sleep with me. They have their own beds on the floor but inevitably they wind up on the bed at some point. I have four, so they rotate. One dog will bark from the floor and then one will jump down. Usually it's the Coonhound and Pibble that switch. I don't know how they decided who gets to go up first but that's how the pecking order works right now. We have a newer rescue who pretty much stays on the bed the whole time unless she has decided to stay in her crate. The other dog is an older Feist that stays in her crate and only jumps on the bed if she's cold.

Of course!......when I am with dogs, that is, like when, when she was alive, I stayed at Mom's house.
A and B. A: In my family, pets sleeping with one is as natural as ducks in a pond. Further, as the unmarried sibling, long ago on family gatherings, my room, if it wasn't the fold out sofa, it was the one to bed down with the pets.
B: BUT.......here on the Net, I have seen many respond with how odd that is. Shrug! To each their own.
No dogs right now, just cats, but 4 of them often sleep with me on the bed, a black cat to each corner or so. I think it is a black cat thing for the other cats of different colors sleep elsewhere.
Finally, despite how bad the morning back is from sleeping with two small dogs and maybe a cat (Mom's herd) on a single bed, I'd do it every time.........and how wonderful a big bed is when you have pets.

None of my dogs has ever slept in the fairly expensive beds I provided for them. The current critter sleeps in the crook of my legs at night and gets very persnickety if I am sleeping on my back or stomach, so much so that he will nudge me. If he could talk he'd tell me, hey, roll over, I need the crook!!! then he hunkers in. Every now and again he'll jump off the bed and sleep for a bit on the floor, but not for long.
Roxie used to sleep at the foot of our bed. She has passed away so, no current dogs are too big to sleep on our bed but my Leo kitty sleeps next to me and Maxine at the foot of the bed. One dog is in a crate at night, the other sleeps on the floor near the bed.
I’ve only had 2 dogs. My current dog always sleeps on the bed; he’s a rescue and he’s slept on the bed with me since Day 1.
My former dog started off sleeping on the bed with me as a puppy. Unfortunately, my bed at that time was a twin bed with a box spring on the floor. So, she very easily rolled off of it simply because there wasn’t enough room for the both of us. After probably the fifth roll onto the floor, she started sleeping on the floor, which she did for the rest of her life. She always slept right next to the bed on the side that I slept on; I’d have to remember not to step on her when I got up in the morning. She would occasionally get on the bed (which was a queen-size when she was full grown) for a nap but never to sleep at night.
Depended on the dog. I learned years ago I am a one-dog-to-spoil-rotten person. I also live alone. Of course, I'd offer to share my bed. Some took me up on the offer, others didn't.
Yes my 2 little dogs sleep with me. When I had 4 little dogs and a 84 lb husky shepherd mix that I was allergic to they all had crates and beds in our bedroom. Now with only 2 it’s no problem sleeping with them. Even when I had 5 dogs they were all allowed on the living room furniture. It didn’t take me long to train the big guy that he could get on all the furniture except my bed because I also had asthma. He was so smart.
