The cat is allowed in the living room (really, how are you going to keep a cat out - the baby gates only work for the dog), but none of the animals are allowed upstairs in the bedroom.

When I look at the volume of dog hair that I vacuum up or think about how much cleaner my house would stay generally, I kind of regret not doing things more like you.

But I think partially because I had one of the dogs before I got married and he was my constant companion, they are both really spoiled and I can't imagine demoting them now. (I suspect if we ever have kids; the dogs will get demoted really quickly.)

When I have kids that are not crawling on the floor or big enough that the dog doesn't mow them over, the rules might change. Our dog is a little over-friendly (never been able to break her of that), and she jumps right into the toddler and knocks her over...which of course makes the toddler cry, etc. Also my husband is OCD about pet hair. I have to brush the dog before she's even allowed inside at all, and I clean the cat off with cat wipes.
