My doggie sleeps with me.

When I first got her I told myself she would stay in her crate and off my bed... but a few months ago, I had just got back from a week-long business trip, and while she was happy to see me, she was acting depressed all day. I felt so bad and thought it might make her feel better if she was close to me at night... for just a few nights right?

Uh huh... she's been sleeping in my bed ever since...

I don't know what's gonna happen when my husband deploys and comes back after 6 months and my doggies have been in the bed with me the whole time...yeah...haha:)

My cats sleep with us, usually they divide up and the kitten sleeps with the 2-year old, and the older two sleep on the foot of my bed. I had a kitty that would actually crawl under the covers with us and sleep next to our feet, but he passed away...

My 5 year old has the top bunk in the boys' room- but the cats can't get up to his bed, so we do occasionally lift up one of the cats so that he has a cat to sleep with as well!

I had never had a cat before and when I brought Brando home from the shelter, I had read all the stuff about "your new cat may want to be by himself for a week or so." So when I went to bed (he's been w/ me for only about 4 hours at this point) I put him in my back room and closed the door & went to bed. It took about 5 minutes to hear a very insistent MEOW MEOW MEOW coming from the room. I let him out, he came into my bedroom, and jumped up onto my bed. He's slept there every night since.

The only problem is when he decides he wants to sleep ON my chest - he is 20 lbs, but it's amazing what you can get used to. This is the only time when he cuddles - in bed (lol, just like a guy).

My boys (cats) have to sleep with us, or at least have the door open if they decide to sleep with us. One of them is an angel...he gets right into against my belly, and the other one will usually mill around and scratch the underside of the mattress because he wants us up.

On a good night, both boys are sound asleep, one with each me and my husband. There is nothing sweeter than waking up and seeing two kitties stretched across the bed. Especially when I don't feel well!

My cat used to sleep on my bed all the time, but she irritates my husband's allergies if she does that now - she's completely banned from our bedroom to keep her fur off our bed :( Now she sleeps pressed completely up against our bedroom door waiting for us to come back to her in the morning ...

BUMP
 

We need to see the newbies' pets!

My kitty. We adopted her from a friend when their new baby ended up having terrible allergies.

She looks like an older version of my kitten!

Back in March she had a hematoma on her ear and had to have it drained, the vet put one of those cone collars on her:

And this is Heidi. She's a mutt as well, but we think she might be a McNab Shepherd: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McNab_(dog)

Heidi as a little puppy back in January:

I've gotta say, Rusty looks like the happiest dog I've ever seen with one of those cones on! Both are adorable

Her name is Abby:
