At night my cat wouldn't stand for it, I often get a nasty look when I disturb him so that I can get into bed. During the day our lab,chessie,beagle (1/2 beagle), mutt sneaks up and is a pain about it... If you enter the room normally he holds still like a rabbit and needs to be hauled physically off the bed. The best method I have found so far is noticing him out of the corner of your eye as you walk by and then enter like its a drug raid "GET OFF THE BED :mad:! GET OFF THE BED! ON THE GROUND NOW:mad:!!!"

:razz:
having fun with rtf search, I typed in drug raid and got this fun old thread.
 
Our Lab girls are not allowed on the bed in the house. The double bed in the trailer is another story. Several years ago I had a T-shirt made for Don. It says "Sleeps with black dogs". When I am on a training or trial trip, I have to fight for space on the bed. At bedtime, two black 80 lb. Labs get kicked off the bed long enough for me to get to my spot. Within seconds, there's a black head on half of my pillow and a long dog body stretched out lengthwise. It is usually Sally. Ruby stretches her full body length across the end of my side of the bed. It is clear that my presence is tolerated, but not welcome. If its get too warm, somebody leaves the bed and sleeps on the couch. Sometimes it is Don.

Black and chocolate females sleep on dog beds. The black is ten and slept with me until she was a year old, ( i was still a single man then), until the night i was awakened by her dragging her nails down my back while she was stretching. She drew blood! That was the last day she slept on the bed. I doubt i could ever convice my wife to let them sleep on the bed now.
 
Interesting am I the only one with a dog that sleeps, outside in a dog-house, patrolling the yard, my how times have changed ;)
 
you left off a choice..LOL. I sleep with the dogs when I pi$$ my wife off........:):)
 
Only at the Motel 6 when we are on the road running trials. She has no choice, I will only spring for one queen size bed.
 
My dogs sleep in their suspended plastic barrels IN THE KENNEL. No dogs allowed in the house unless in a crate.

Couldn't imagine letting my dogs in my bed. Not enough room for me, my two girlfriends and a dog!

Returned home from a long trip to the Prince George field trial. Unloaded the truck and two dogs. When it came time for me to go to bed two tired trial dogs had long before crashed to their dog beds. I'm laying in bed recounting to my wife of the trial and travel of the May long weekend campaign when up jumps "her" black Lab, Woody right into the middle of the bed. I exclaim, "What's this"! My wife responds with "You were gone so long and I wanted company". NO DOGS ON THE FURNITURE OR IN THE BED. So much cleaning of the duvet cover and sheets. Who needs the extra work. Love my wife, love our dogs, but please no dogs in the bed and it can do much for romance in a marriage.
 
DKR, That is so funny about the hair in the nose and you think its a spider. I got a good laugh. Happened to me a few times. Jumped up and had to turn the light on just to make sure.
 
awwwwww puppy

problem is, sometimes he requires pillow space!! I dont mind it one bit, but don't tell him that!! His tail really gets wagging when I ask him 'what are you doing on my pillow!??!?!??!'

Like so many other posts...I fight for space. My yellow girl who sheds 24x7 is right up beside me. My young black 2 yo girl is in the bed until the lights go out and she is off the bed immediately and in her crate. Both are up and standing on top of me at 0530. I wouldn't have it any other way!
 
A dog sleeping with their feet in the air weird. Not at all.
My Cash pup does the same, she's 60lbs. Now for me, I feel a little weird when I wake up on my stomach with my feet in the air.
I also have my 80lb Copper bitch at my feet, on my feet, across my legs, on my chest, head, wherever she wants. She's a bit of a bed hog, but a daddy's girl to say the least. Our Cosmo bitch has her own doggie Tempurpedic (spoiled a$$ mama's girl).
