To be very honest....

...are your Setters allowed to sleep in/on your beds? `Just asking.....

:-)

[Gayle Sheridan]

Daisy and Rowena sleep on our bed and also have their own beds in our bedroom which they retreat to when it is hot. We have a superking bed. The 'before getting up' routines include big cuddles and kisses, licks and special songs - us and Rowena, Daisy just purrs. We brought our couches in the family room to suit the dogs - the arms are at the right height for setter heads. They also have beautiful Over The Top beds, so have a choice where to snooze during the day and in the evening until bed time. It is a dog's life!

Yes, it certainly is a 'dogs life' Gayle. I agree. When our kids were little, they'd wake in the night and come into our bed for comfort. Now they've grown and moved out, my Setter girls do exactly the same thing. Must admit, I love it knowing they are there with us. We don't have a 'superking bed' like you, but that is definately on my 'wish list'. My girls also have very nice, very comfortable cushion beds on their own, but for some strange reason, they prefer ours than theirs. Mmmmmmm.

[Tracie Vincent]

No Nigel won't allow it !!!!!! plus my children are young 4,7 so guess they have to come first but when I was single yes they all did and it was fantastic they had there own beds too but on my single bed would be four setters and two cats and if a friends dog came on holiday we all made room for one or two more as the saying goes .... the more the merrier :-)

How much I love all your postings. No matter if you allow your dogs to sleep in your bed or not: All your postings are full of love :-)
When Vito gets up in the morning, stretching and yawning and sometimes farting :-) I sometimes think: Thank God I´m a single, thank God for this crazy unconvenient life with this very special dog that enjoys all his privileges without ever abusing them. He just knows exactly where he stands in my life (on top!) and though he`s allowed to sleep whereever he likes to, he would never become naughty and he always understands when I´m serious with him. "No means no." We understand each other without all that horrible loudness so many people use when they "communicate" with their dogs.
I have to say it once again: I think Setters are just so very special.

HEAR HEAR Christine... :))

My 5 managed to get on the bed and go to sleep this morning without me even waking up (I was tired). I dread to think how many times Pasha kissed me while I was asleep, but your right they are so special.

[Agnieszka Rola]

of course Conner sleeps with me! :) I put him on my bed on the first day in our home (when he was 8 weeks puppy, I was so yearning for a dog, was waiting for him 6 months, after my Tara past away-she also slept with me) and he stayed :)

[Tracy Drath]

Yep, all three Irish Setters and my husband and I are piled on one King Sized bed...it always amazes me the different configurations we come up with to sleep. However my boy does get up and down a couple of times each night to do the once around the house just in case. I often times look accross three red dogs and wish my husband pleasant dreams!

[Teresa]

I never agreed with putting dogs on the bed, and therefore Pitanga slept in her own bed on the floor, next my my bed when i got her. Then she sarted to grow, and one day she was big enough to jump to my bed...She sleeps with me since that day and i love having her :)

[Gene]

LOL! The question for me would be..."am I allowed to sleep on THEIR bed?" I laugh at myself the number of times I sleep sideways or on the very edge of the bed while they are stretched out all over. Both of my dogs are 'sprawling sleepers'.

[Kristina]

I read all the comments again and while reading a question crossed my mind. All of you who are married or in a relationship:
When do you have the time to have sex, if your dogs sleep with you in the bed all night, every night?? I was just wondering...... ;))

[Carmel Murphy]

That crossed my mind too!! But I'm sure happy couples can find other places other than the bedroom!!!!!!??;o))
