Both my boys have always slept in the bed with us. When we got Snickers, we had a queen-sized bed. When Baxter came a year later, we bought a king-sized bed so we'd all have enough room. Now DH and I are crunched on either side of the bed, and the two yorkies are sprawled out in the center. They only sleep sideways, of course, this way they can take up more space.
