| It is a great article! I don't let my dogs sleep with me because I don't like them licking while on my bed. But Blue is so good, does not bother me or hog my space. He knows that if he wants to lick, he has to get off and do his thing on his own bed. So he is my "teddy bear" at night.

| I don't think there is one thing wrong with sleeping with your pets or not sleeping with them. It's everyone's own choice. I can't sleep with any of mine. I've tried, but I'm such a light sleeper and two of mine bark at any tiny noise, (but not when they are in their own beds) and I don't do well without a full nights sleep.

| Read your article and bravo! Once I got Tibbe and he started sleeping with me: I sleep better at night as I have a great watch dog. My BP dropped 25 - 55 points and my cholesterol took a 65 point nose dive. My blood test was done about 4 months after I got him and I swear I had done nothing else different other than get Tibbe and care for him. Oh, yes, and my slightly high platelet count has either been normal or less slightly elevated than B4 but never up to pre-Tibbe levels. Course, he keeps me going all the time so I lost about 6 - 7 lbs. Any way you look at it, Tibbe made me healthier. He's way healthier than he was when I got him so as I see it we both made out like bandits! |

| I have to comment to yorkietalkjilly's post... That is great that you are doing well after you got Tibbe! Losing six to seven pounds is a lot and I know how hard it is to lose a pound, so congratulations to you!
