My wife is in the military, so she's gone for long periods of time (as she is right now), so Enzo is usually in the bed with me. When he's not he sleeps on the couch downstairs. He curls up next to me in a little ball and sleeps through the night without any issues. A few times I've woken up during the middle of the night to find him stretched out next to me, with his head on my chest, snoring away. Pretty funny.

I sleep with my 90 lb Lab and Pepper...we have a king size bed, and it still isn't enough! It doesn't help that they both HAVE to be touching me!
My husband works nights so they get his share of the bed most nights. Pep snores and talk about farting in one's sleep...she could peel paint off the walls!!!!

Jack has slept in bed with me from day one Soppy / in love

He's my snuggle bug.

I had him before my husband and I lived together, and well. Love me, love my dog. LOL So my husband has to deal with Jack being in bed with us.

Jack doesn't kick but he does the mumble barking and he likes to cuddle. LOL He too has to ensure a paw is touching you at all times and typically I wake up to his nose in my face as he at some point during the night feels that we should also share my pillow.

He can snore... very loud. And his gas is ATROCIOUS!!!! His manners with bodily functions are non existant. (He's notorious for walking up to my daughter when she's at the dinner table and belching in her face, only to walk away afterwards)...

But I sleep good, funny thing is... I CANNOT sleep without feeling Jacks big ole body pushed up against mine. Its almost become like a security blanket.

Its funny, but I can't sleep without them either! I always sleep on my side, so Pep curls up in my abdomen, and Seamus curls up behind my legs....I call it my puppy straight jacket... Laughing

All I can think to myself is "I've become the "Dog Lady"...ya know ..like the cat lady...the little old lady in the neighborhood who feeds all the stray cats? I'm the dog lady... Shocked

I never really slept with a big dog before--I've tried to sleep with my chihuahua and my cat (who was 20 pounds and woke up to him staring down at me as he perched on my chest). Must say, never really have been comfortable with it. I don't mind being awake and them sleeping on me--but then I get antsy and feel like I have to do stuff all of a sudden.

At any rate--sleeping with Cloud is an incredible feat. Because he is kenneled when we are away at work, he spends the bulk of the day napping. So, when we finally got to bed, he is ready to play and play and play. On the rare occasion he would sleep the first half of the night

He has righteous gas. He kind of runs in his sleep and often wakes himself up once he starts to bark heavily (which is quite hilarious.) He loves to sleep under the covers too. I would usually find him either snuggled up against my back or feet--or he would be smack in the middle between Part and I.

But mostly, I usually wake up to him jumping on me. One night I awoke to him standing above my head. Several nights I hear him miss his mark and land on the floor.

Thankfully, impromptu nap time usually works out better. I still haven't figured out why he likes to sleep on my side of the bed so much--even when no one is on it. He just loves it!

Both Augie and Udo sleep in bed with us. Augie snores, Udo makes sucking noises and yips. Augie sleeps at the end of the bed by our feet and Udo usually starts there as well but then snakes his way up between us. I woke up this morning with Udo's head on the pillow next to me with his nose under my chin.

Mine sleep with me also. All 3 snore but only one has ever ran and that was only on time. Of course right after we got Duke and started feeding him our feed he spent 2 nights farting. He stunk up the room so bad the Bullet went and slept on the couch. He couldn't take it.

You get used to it... I miss having both boys in bed with us.

Ever since Zane has been gone, it has been really awful. Having just Wyatt has given us more room, but miss the Weimie cuddles. The only part I could do with out is the standing next to us staring at us waiting for us to wake up to take him out, the yawning to make you aware of them, and the on the bed off the bed on the bed off the bed lets go out routine. Other then that Wyatt is all dead weight in bed. Both our boys were in bed with us since day one...

Shannon, Bill and Wyatt

I just broke up with my boyfriend, so Wilson is great to sleep with. He loves to snuggle and has really helped me through the last few weeks.

Wilson has a giant stuffed bunny he suckles and sleeps with, it has been pretty funny to wake up with doggy snuggling up to me and I am snuggling with the stupid bunny! Shocked

on vacation i got the pleasure of the weimy spoon.. hooch sleeps in his crate at home..
booger slept all night, with his head on my pillow, snuggled up.. and slept through the night for the first time.. ever.. letting out an occasional sigh or a quiet snore..
Boo always slept in the bed with us.. and i'd wake up to HIM spooning ME, or a weimy dinosaur curled up under the blankets with his legs wrapped around mine, and his nose secure in my bum. Shocked

poor thing.. once i woke up to being repeatedly jabbed in the bum.. he was having a seizure.. Crying or Very sad

if my house had a different set up, hooch would be in the bed with us.. and i'd never have sex in the bedroom.. again. Wink

Both Jager and Eva sleep in bed with us. We have a King size bed but both the dogs sleep on the same side I do taking up my leg room!!!
Jager every night sneaks to the top of the bed and curls up in a ball between me and my boyfriend. He stays up there till he gets yelled at (by my boyfriend) and then proceeds to the end of the bed and he waits about 30 minutes and then…..REPEAT!
