My baby Mason has always slept with me and I guess I encouraged it from the beginning because he would cry at night in his crate and I would feel so sad for him. I would let him out of his crate and he would sleep all night on the end of my bed as long as he had a blanket that smelled like me to curl up in. I guess I am just a softy...Mason is a great dog and when I am home he wants to be near me no matter where I am...If I am in the bathroom he is right there at my feet waiting for me. When I go to work I put him up in my bedroom with the bathroom door open and he has food and water in the bathroom and potty pads. He loves it because he has the TV on for noise and my bed which smells like me all day. He loves my bed!!
