If so, how often do you change the sheets?
I went to make MB's bed since the kids were asleep and I was bore and could not believe my eyes!!!! The sheets and comforter were covered in hair!!! So gross!!! I wanted to throw up! I mean, I thought the sheets were gray and when I got closer I noticed it was white covered in black hair! Nedless to say, I went ahead and brushed the dogs instead

| Our two large dogs sleep in their own beds at the foot of ours. In the bed with us would be GROSS, but I do love them dearly and snuggle with them on the floor. |

| No, my dog has a short tail that doesn't cover his butt (hole) excuse my French, anyway I wouldnt be able to put my head on a pillow where he had placed his butt. And yes, his hair would be everywhere, it's disgusting. |

| Yes--a beagle, but she gets groomed once a month and is mostly an indoor dog who doesn't dig or roll around in the yard when outside. We change the sheets once a week, and we keep an inexpensive white (so I can see when it needs washing) coverlet on top of our good comforter. |

| Yes my dog and cat sleep on our bed. Both shed a lot and we are probably gross. Luckily, this doesn't affect any of you, right? |

I think it's totally gross to have pets in your bed but I love this response. Amen. |

| My dog is sleeping in my bed with me right now - and so is my DD. Our dog doesn't shed, so fur isn't a problem. As to everything else, I figure that my dog does her business outside and I have to have very little to do with it. My DD is, by far, the less hygenic of the two. She currently has a plastic bag full of crap secured around her waist with tape. I have never understood how people with KIDS think that dogs are disgusting. |

| My two cats sleep in the bed with me and DD, usually on either side of my pillow. I don't care about the cat hair, but I try to change the sheets pretty regularly (whatever that means). |

| Cat slept with us until I got pregnant. Loved the cuddling, but pretty gross in retrospect. He would track cat litter into bed sometimes...makes me shudder to think about it. |

OP here. If that's what you think why did you feel compelled to respond? Anyway, if you're my boss it does affect our relationship. You'd come back to a nicely made bed yesterday and instead you'll be one more night sleeping in that filth. But I guess you dont care anyway so we're all good. *Gag* |

We have a short-haired cat. He sleeps in the basement because cats are nocturnal and he is up some of the night, and not very well-behaved. He plays with stuff in our nightstand, knocks over my water glass, and attacks our feet. After a few months of sleepless nights we decided he had to sleep in the basement. It's a finished basement and it's cozy down there and everyone sleeps better.
There is a study I ran into recently that said people who let their pets sleep with them get worse sleep. I can see a dog who sleeps through the night but I've grown up with cats and they are so bad at night! |

| No. We have 2 dogs. At first I would have, but a trainer convinced me it's the final frontier of being master. You cannot have a dog sleep in bed with you and have the dog really be willing to listen to you. Sleeping on an elevated surface with the owner is a big message to a dog. My dogs are family members, I love them pretty much as children, I'm not obsessed with being "pack leader" or whatever, but I do need discipline, especially for safety's sake with kids. |
