Sprout has slept with us since he was 12 weeks (he is now 14 years). Bella has slept with us since she was about 4 months(ish). It did not seem fair (to us) to allow one up there but not the other. Gypsy is far too small still, but she will most likely share the bed also.
There are certain times when they all sleep on the floor in their blankets (I'm married, and won't go into detail)...but for the most part if we're in bed so are they.
If you're considering whether or not to allow your dogs in the bed, I first recommend you make it very clear to them that there is a drop off with a bed and it isn't level with the ground. You should also have toy breed friendly stairs leading up to the bed or a toy breed friendly pet ramp. I do not agree with those who let their dogs in their bed and have no means of them getting up and down safely. |
