Crate train the dog. Mine sleep in their crate in my room. Door is closed when they're puppies, open when they're old enough to understand they need to stay in their crate at night.

demodex mites are on your eyelashes whether you have pets or not.

Even trolls like you always have friends!

We have a dog bed in our room. Dog switchers. If it’s too much dog and husband go to the couch.

Alternative solution would be separate bedrooms - I did that while pet sitting for a friend (her dogs use to sleep in her bed, and DH can't sleep with dog on our bed) - I moved to a guest bedroom with dogs and all of us got a good night sleep - more space, less distractions.

+1 try a dog bed

You can train your dog to be in the bedroom, but not get up on the bed. If your husband pushes back, tell him lack of sleep literally takes years of your life (and will make you horribly grumpy, to him specifically).

My friends father died from having a bird and ingesting feather dust over time. His lungs collapsed. Google it. It’s real. You should really get rid of all of your pets to be safe.

Not an option unfortunately

Nope. Just this bedroom.

Move to another bedroom.

Do you have another bedroom? DH and dog could move there.

Love our dog but she is not good for my sleep. Our bed is only a queen (no room for a king) and she’s 60 pounds and moves around a lot at night, waking me up. I’m in peri right now and sleep is fraught enough as it is. I wake up in the AM exhausted.

But dh loves having the dog in bed (a little weird to some, I know) and admittedly I would too if she weren’t so disruptive. We’ve always been pets in the bed people. She’s very snuggly too.

Thoughts? What’s a compromise? We have a crate but she’s only it when we are out of the house, and she often comes with us, so I think crate training would be incredibly painful while she got used to it, and admittedly I don’t think I’d want her so far away either. I could try to leash her up and put her in a dog bed by our bed… hopefully we’d all get used to this quickly.

Anyone btdt?
