| No Bed? Am I the only one whose baby won't sleep in a bed specially for them? Summerlin will sleep in my bed (curled up right next to me - absolute heaven...) and she will sleep on the arm of the couch and on some of my son's blankies when he doesn't steal them from her. But I have bought her a couple of dog beds, and she won't use any of them? What gives? I notice most of you have beds for your pups, do they actually use them?

| Mine didn't like their beds either, they would rather sleep where they had my smell. So what I would do is take my nighty from the night before & put it in their bed. Or I would rub my head all over their beds to put my sent in it. Once she can smell your sent in it, she might use it.

| I heard that once dogs find out how sweet it is to sleep in your own bed, they hardly want to go back! I have to put a "fresh" t-shirt (meaning freshly worn by myself or my husband) in her bed, or else she won't sleep there and beg to be in bed with us. I guess the good news is that your dog won't go potty on your bed since that's where it sleeps

| Kera, Pixie and Mylan sleep with us. Connor starts out under the bed then will ask to be put in the bed during the night. Sammie will get in the bed long enough to say 'Goodnight', then she wants to be put down and will sleep under the bed. I tried putting a pallet under there for her, but she like the cold laminate. (She must be a 'hot' lil momma! LOL) Oh, and my point??? They all have their differences and none are wrong. I use to take it personal because she's a mama's girl, and she wouldn't sleep with me. But I got over it and everybody's happy....

| Chachi and Jewels dont use their dog beds either. I have seen some really cute beds that I have wanted to buy them but it would just be a waste of money

| my boys don't lay in beds. they prefer a blankie that they can scratch around and make into their bed on the couch, or in my bed at night, of course. But I've bought them beds before and they don't spend enough time in them to make it worth it.

| Didn't even waste the money, Seth slept with us from the first night and well when we go Sasha, Jack just moved more to the side of the bed. Thank Goodness it is a King size bed.

BANNED! | I just got these for mine so I can finally have my own bed back,lol. They seem to like them and Bowie is already testing his out. They are really soft and plushy so they sure seem to like them so far, now I'm hoping at bed time I can have my bed to myself again to stretch out in. |

| Maxwell's bed is like a little cave/tent; he loves it now. But, for the first 6 weeks I threw in the used t-shirt (as mentioned above). Now, I don't have to, but do because he likes to scratch around, fluff it up and make up his bed before he sleeps. so cute. |

| My two also sleep with me but I do have several beds in their pen and in the living room and they do nap on them during the day unless I'm laying on the couch and they have to sleep 'on' me - LOL!

| Wobie used to sleep in his doggy beds, but not really anymore. Occassionaly I'll see him napping in one of them for a few minutes or so.

| I spent 350$ on a canopy bed for my bailey. She loved it when she was a puppy and it was like her own little space. After she got a little bigger daddy started sneaking her up on our bed. Now she expects to sleep with us, however when were not home shes always in her canopy bed. |

| Autumn loves her bed (when she can get in it - my pug always seems to beat her to it!) |
