my three small ones sleep with me and I never think twice about it unless somebody gets really dirty... they get a bath once a week and dont go outside unless I am with them, watching. my lab, she sleeps with my daughter, no room in my bed with 2 of us and 3 pups.. haha
Hope cannot get on the bed by herself but I keep an ottoman at the foot and it works as the perfect "step" for her. Tinker cannot even get on the ottoman so she has to have a boost up, and Tootie, well, he is just everywhere.. haha
The two bigger ones are not allowed on the pillows or under my covers. I keep a sheet over my quilt that is washed just about everyday... Hope, well, she is the baby, and yes, she sleeps, snuggled under my shoulder

when she gets tired, she will stand in my bedroom door, peeping down the hall and whinnneeee at me, she is so cute!
wouldnt change it for the world..
