I was interested to see this post. I have currently 2 B. gals, Tootsie and Peanut. Tootsie by day is a yodeling lunatic, but sleeps like a rock. Peanut, on the other hand is mostly silent, except for an occasional growl when needed, and has been that way for the 4 years we've had her. About 3 or 4 times in the past year, though, we will wake up to the most mournful, creepy howl I've ever heard.. Pea 'sleep howling' I guess you'd call it! It truly sounds a bit "other worldly" and it always makes me hope she isn't having a really bad doggie dream!
Where does your B sleep?
-
We have four B's and a mutt terrier sleeping with us and my Son get's the other two B's. I guess it's a personal choice as to what does or doesn't crawl in your bed with you. I love my B's and my wife…....and I sleep with all of them.:D
Willy generally prefers five star accomadations but has to suffer along with the rest of us.:eek:
-
It is especially nice when it's a little chilly to have a B curled up next to you.
It's especially nice anytime!!

Squiggy spent, in his first home, his nights (and my guess days) locked in an outside basement on the step closest to the top. No blanket and ended up with calluses on his legs from the steps.
Now, in his FOREVER home, he sleeps anywhere he darn well pleases
Which is in the middle of my bed, on top of the covers. He only likes to be covered in the mornings when I am getting ready and only with his blanket.Spoiled BRAT :p

I like that story!
good going! -
We use to have a Queen size bed, one husband, two basenjis and a cat. We upgraded to a King Size bed and we still don't have room in our bed!
-
Lulu sleeps with me in my bed and takes whole bed, and sometimes snores…
-
Been a while since anyone wrote here, but I have to chime in. My B and my Rat terrier and my hubby, and me of course all share a queen size bed. My hubby leaves early morning and I have two loving dogs to keep me warm. And as someone said a while back, I don't have children yet, atleast not human children!

Both of mine must sleep between myself and my partner. They prefer being squished between the both of us. The more squished they are, the better (within reason of course). They are not allowed under the covers or on the sofa in our office. The are spoiled and pretty much permitted anywhere else. The squish factor is even more evident when it's naptime on the 'allowed' couch in which they like to be between the sofa back and my back. They fight for the spot sometimes.

My crazy Luke sleep with me since we brought her home…Yeah, she has her create and bed, but she loves mine bed the most...So we sleep together, and cheeses, sometimes she snore like an old drunk guy!!!!!!

Echo is behind my knees under the covers, Blue is a Daddy's boy and sleeps next to him under the covers but with his head out on the pillow. Merlin sleeps at the foot of the bed on his own bed, but at the first alarm ring in the morning hops up and goes straight under the covers for 10 minutes of snuggle time. Echo has been known to actually crawl into the duvet and get trapped. It's fun pulling him out a 3:00 in the morning. He always pops out with his tail wagging like he's wondering "how did that happen?"

Athena sleeps in her crate at night, luckily she likes it in there. She has a nice drape around it so it is dark and a puffy bed. During the day she sleeps on the couch, preferably next to someone, or on her garden window perch.
We let the cats have the run of the house at night after spending the day in the back half. They are 13 an 19 and are DONE with dogs. They did their time when they were younger and pretty much refused any interaction with Athena when we brought her home. They consider themselves 'retired' from dog training.

Ziggy sleeps by my side, on top of the covers (which are hardly needed, in August, in Southern California). He seems to be a very sound sleeper; he'll wake up in exactly the position that I saw him in when we went to bed.
-
Topper comes to bed first and gets under covers by my feet, Eddie under, by my right thigh, and Nicky by my chest on the right, under covers. Unless someone comes to bed first and gets Topper's place, then all bets are off, they settle in all different places then. Usually everyone sleeps through the night.

Our Amber….

i have two - Anzi the boy is usually on his chair or in the corner with all his blankets - if it gets cold he jumps in bed when his sister lets him - Deja always sleeps in bed under the covers in the bed of my knee -when she gets hot she comes up for a bit of air and then back under she goes or she just keeps her head on the pillow!
-
ramsey sleeps on his bed on the floor but he used to sleep under the blankets in the bed at the end along with layla and caira always trys to sleep under the blankets with her head on the pillow like a human…..its definitely crowded in my bed

For those of you who have more than one Bs….Do any of them share the same bed to sleep (not counting YOUR bed
)? Any share a crate? Seems like since there are so many pictures of the dogs napping together, that they'd also want to sleep together at night. We are considering getting another B and just wondered if they would want to sleep together.Pat

We have three (just got our third about 6 weeks ago and ,,,yes,,,,,,I know I need to change my name to reflect that :)). They all sleep with us in bed and have done that since we got them – about two months apart. Our first two took about a month to 6 weeks to feel comfortable enough to sleep together in their same doggy bed but the wait was well worth it. It was soooooooooooo cute! We have MANY pics of them in all sorts of positions curled up together in there doggy bed.
-
Diego sleeps at the foot of the bed, or by my legs.. i try to make him cuddle with me but that usually only lasts a little!

Jazz and Keoki sleep together often during the day, but when she is in her crate at night, she gets N-A-S-T-Y if he tries to get in with her. I guess she figures that's the only place that is HERs and hers alone!
My two sleep in their crates, doors open, but inside an ex-pen –-sounds goofy, but it's the only way Keoki will sleep all night.
Sometimes he will try to climb in w/her,and then it gets LOUD!!! while she cusses him out. I have to intervene and go tell him to "Get back to bed!!", and then he'll give up and go quietly back into his crate.So apparently it depends on the individual -- Keoki would share at night, Jazzy will not.
