Yes, every guy I've ever been in a relationship with/shared a bed with since I've had Stewie has been MORE than OK with it.
My opinion of what to do may be considered harsh, but:

"hey honey. Either Ms. Kimono sleeps in the bed with me, or you don't"

txshopper73 · 01-10-2006, 02:07 PM

Well, mine have been sleeping with us in our bed since the day they came home. I'd do it anyway...but that's just me!

chewysmom · 01-10-2006, 02:11 PM

Oh NO! Chewy is about your pup's size and to be honest, half the time my husband doesn't even realize he's in the bed with us. The only stipulation that was given is that the dog be completely potty trained before it came up in the bed.

Does your man give you a reason for why he says no?

I already have to share the bed with three cats AND my husband!
Pixie slept in bed with me last weekend (hubby was out late and opted to just sleep on the couch one night instead of waking me up), but she kept getting up to chase the cats off if they came on. I'm hoping eventually she'll just leave them alone and we can all sleep together like one big, happy family!

SNEAK HER IN!! (That's what I would do anyway!)

She's little. I doubt he'll notice the extra 4lbs in bed. Bring her in with you one night after he's asleep and just keep her on the side away from the BF. When he wakes up in the AM and realizes she's there, what's he going to say? It's already been done! If she doesn't bother him one night, why would she another??

OR you could sleep on the couch with the pup. Tell him it's because he won't let her in bed with you, and you won't sleep in bed until it's ok for her to be there too. If he wants you back, eventually he'll cave!

My boyfriend wasn't a big animal lover, until he met coco. He adores her. He gets mad if I put her off the bed for a second. He wakes up at like 3 am wondering if she's ok and where she is. I wouldn't recommend you push it on him. I didn't on my b/f but not only does he love her, but he also knows how important she is to me. I would ask him what it would take for him to be comfortable with her sleeping in bed with you. Maybe he would prefer the paws to be cleaned or tooshie to be wiped. My boyfriend washes Coco's toosh with soap and water EVERY time she goes potty..lol..so her "poop particles and pee dribbles" don't get on the bed or sofas.

Athina · 01-10-2006, 02:25 PM

Both my girls sleep with my boyfriend and I every night and have been since they came home. I'd make your BF sleep on the floor and see how he like's it

Just wait until he's sleeping and then let your pup in the bed or sit your BF down and tell him to try it out for one night, garuntee he doesn't even notice your pups in the bed.
Is there a reason why he doesn't want your Yorkie sleeping with u guys?

Rockster's Mom · 01-10-2006, 02:52 PM

My BF did not have a choice in the matter. When we got together, I just had my cat, and made if very clear that she sleeps with me and if did he not like it, leave. Now the cat and the dog sleep with us, or should I say me. They both sleep on top of me.

Patti · 01-10-2006, 02:57 PM

Get a new boyfriend!LOL How could he not want such a tiny thing in be dwith you guys!!

Yorkieluv · 01-10-2006, 02:59 PM

Why doesn't he want your pup to sleep with you guys? I don't think that's very fair of him to ask of you. Maybe he doesn't understand that Ms. Kimono is a part of your family, not just some animal. You could always get a doggie bed, but I don't understand why it's that big of a deal to him. If it's for the dog's safety because he moves too much maybe I can understand.

hle_625 · 01-10-2006, 03:16 PM

My hubby is the biggest reason that my girls sleep in our bed, bc when we first brought them home I was all up to training them to sleep in their own beds at night but he just insisted and there is no turning back now!!!

Chinkerbell · 01-10-2006, 03:37 PM

My boyfriend didn't want Bentley to sleep with us af first. I had to make sure that Bentley was potty trained, and then I snuk him in to bed after the bf fell asleep everynight. HeeHee! After a while with no accidents, we can't sleep without him! He wakes us up everymorning by attacking us with lots of kisses!!

LOL!! Its okay, Kristy. We all know you're a Flooz!! jk

I don't think you are being harsh at all.

If its a new fella' you have to train him right from the start!

If your like me (and it sounds like maybe Kimberley,too!) and you've been together for years you don't really care what he thinks!

rrosenberry · 01-10-2006, 04:10 PM

Yes,, Bailey is always in the big bed,, before or even after any man!
I told this before, but...
One of my ex's came to fix my furnace and he layed his leather coat on the couch and Bailey jumped up to sniff it, no big woop,, well he starts going off, yelling at him to get off it, etc,, I lost it,,, I said " that is his couch and he is on it everyday, and will continue to if you have a problem with him SMELLING your coat, I suggest YOU move it!" HE did.
And then when he left, I remembered~ why I dumped his weak ass!
