Both my little breeder ones are inside dogs. Man I hate it when dogs have to weather it outside!!! I don't let my dogs sleep with me in my bed for the fact that my husband is such a heavy sleeper he doesn't wake up, and he tried to suffocate my Raeley one night by rolling on his stomach and trapping her, so now she sleeps in a (wire) crate by my bedside so she can see me and I can see her. She's got a fluffy bed inside there and a warm fleece blanket. Riley is next to my dresser that is opposite of my bed with a fluffy bed and fleece blanket in a wire crate as well. I feel its safer for them since my husband doesn't wake up, and my little skin man likes to crawl into bed with us in the mornings and doesn't look before he blops down. Other than that they have the run of the house unless my boy is being wild and then I put them in my bedroom with a baby gate so I can keep them in my sights and where they have access to my laundry room where their food and water is. It gives them room to roam, and safety from a little monster
. Mine take naps on my couch or chairs, or with me in the chair. They are part of my family (drive my husband nuts by wanting his attention), they get just as much attention as both my skin kids. They go camping with us, on long trips with us, and I hardly am never not home so I don't leave them alone.
