Where does your dog sleep?

Belle sleeps on the corner end of the bed...near the wall. I think she likes to be near me. [

] I thought about getting her a bed but honestly I kinda like the fact that she sleeps so close to me.

Trudy sleeps on her bed near the bedroom door, Grace sleeps on her bed at the foot of the bed. Fauna slept in her soft-sided crate with the door unzipped outside the closet door.

Schmee sleeps in her nylon kennel...if she's gone to the bathroom when I last let her out, I leave the door open, if not, I zip it shut.

It used to be zipped all the time, because she had the tendency to jump on the bed in the middle of the night (SO doesn't like her on the bed).

Dogs don't even come in our bedroom.

They each have a comfy floor bed plus there's their couch. So they have their choice. But they sleep in the living room and kitchen.

I used to let Beau sleep on the bed with me, but he got to be such a bed hog that when we moved to the new house (beginning of June), I changed the rule. Now he's only allowed up on the bed when I invite him (rarely ever - I got tired of washing my comforter).

I made him a dog bed one day that was big and huge and fluffy, but he was afraid of it at first. Then he started sleeping on my bed. Well, now in the new house he rarely leaves it - he snoozes on it all day, chews his chewies on it... It's right by the side of my bed under the little window we have and as secluded as he can get.

Mine are in our bedroom at night. Frosty sleeps on the floor right by the bed, and Ripley usually sleeps on the bed, but lately has been laying in the bathroom on the linoleum. To stay cooler, I guess.

In the bed with us! Makes for some interesting sleeping positions, but hey, it works! [

] They won't sleep any other way!!

Dakota sleeps on her orthapedic bed on the floor in my bedroom.

Neiko either sleeps in his crate or on the floor at the foot of my bed.

As long as it's not on top of me, wherever they want. Conrad sometimes gets in bed with us and as long as he stays down at the foot and doens't hog and gets off when we mumble "off" at him, that's fine. But mostly he sleeps in our room at the foot of the bed or in the corner (he's been having back problems, so corners are his friend). Marlowe usually sleeps either on our futon in the TV room or the couch in the living room--both are covered in sheets when we're not sitting on them, so he can take his pick. He's never expressed any interest at all in sleeping in bed with us or even in the bedroom itself.

Just like the bear in the woods. Where ever they want.

Prancer sleeps in the bedroom, but not on the "human's bed". She has a hugh orthopedic bed, a small crate liner and a sofa to sleep on. She always starts the night on the crate liner bed then moves to the orthopedic bed sometime in the middle of the night. Oddly she just never goes on the sofa in the bedroom (but she'll go on the one in the living room from time to time).
As soon as my alarm rings she wanders over to my side of the bed and puts her paws up on it ... she's so small (and the bed is so high) that all I can see is the cotton top of her head .... I always say "there's my tennis ball !".

Rosco and Lexi have beds in our bedroom that they sleep on. Luna sleeps in her crate in our bedroom. When she's a big girl, she have a bed too.

In the morning, Rosco gets in bed with me for a snuggle before the day starts. [

When hubby is out of town, all three dogs are in the bed with me. But when he is home, the pitties sleep on the floor at the foot of the bed and Rocky is on one of the couches!

My husband works nights during the week, so I am usually in the bed by myself. Because Reesee has the puppies now, I have a little makeshift den set up in my walk-in closet. The wildest thing was happening though. When I would wake up in the mornings, my mattress would be scooted a few inches back off the bed frame, making the edge hang off a little. I was beginning to wonder what on earth I was doing in my sleep to make the mattress move, until 2 nights ago. I woke up in the middle of the night to find Reesee wedged in between the mattress and the headboard. Apparently, she has been getting up in the bed with me in the middle of the night without me even knowing.
