Man and puppy sleeping peacefully in bed together showing internet users letting pets sleep in beds reasons I remember a quote, " You have your job, your hobbies, your tv, phone, whatever... All they have is you." I'm already depriving them of 8 hours when I'm working, why would I deprive them of another 8 when I'm home.

    Orange cat lying stretched out on a gray quilted blanket, illustrating pets sleeping in beds from internet users. I have trouble falling asleep if my cat isn't in his usual spot on my legs. He considers this part of his job and stays there until he knows I'm asleep, then goes to his cat tree to keep watch. Sometimes if I wake up in the night he'll come back over and cuddle me back to sleep.

    Colorful tropical fish swimming in a vibrant aquarium illustrating pets and their sleeping habits with owners. I don’t let my pets sleep in bed with me.

    But that’s only because I currently only have fish as pets, and for some reason I don’t think they’d have a good night outside of their tank.

    Cat lying on a colorful bedspread, illustrating pet sleeping habits shared by internet users about pets in beds. For. My cat always beats me upstairs and stands in the middle of the bed staring at the door waiting for me. When I lay down he spoons me and stays that way all night. I couldn't sleep without him.

    Two small dogs sitting on a bed, illustrating internet users sharing if they let their pets sleep in their beds. I am against, my wife is for so we have pets in the bed. We have a large bed so it is fine and we wash the sheets every 3 days. Sexy time is weird because they get kicked off and then watch us like a live action National Geographic.

    Person petting a happy dog lying on a bed, illustrating internet users sharing whether they let pets sleep in their beds. I was against it until my childhood dog was nearing the end and all I wanted was for her to cuddle with me as much as possible but she wouldn’t stay on the bed. Now I just feel like we have so little time with them and I want them as close as possible, for as long as possible.

    Black and white kitten with mouth open, illustrating internet users sharing whether they let pets sleep in beds. It depends on which one of my pets it is, one of my cats is an angel sent from above - she is so quiet and sleeps at my feet.. my other one likes to crawl up and meow loudly at any given moment in the night - he is so needy and proceeds to lay down as close to my face as he can and make biscuits with my skin.

    Close-up of a dog under a pink blanket illustrating pet owners who let their pets sleep in their beds. Generally, for.

    But when you have a 90lb pit bull that gives you a Dutch oven with gas so noxious that she herself gags on and runs from the room, there are times that it's better if she stays on the couch.

    Woman cuddling a Siberian Husky in bed showing whether internet users let their pets sleep in their beds and why. “Glances down at the 60 pound husky whose spine is pressed against my legs while I scratch his ears”.

    Against it? Nah. I have an extra blanket on the bed that gets washed more often, and he saint allowed in my sheets but, I legitimately get worried if my 6 year old dog isn’t in the bed part of the night with me. I need to feel his breathing and heartbeat so I know he’s ok. Also so if he has nightmares I can kiss him awake so he knows he’s safe.

    Close-up of a dog resting on a bed, illustrating pet sleep habits shared by internet users. My tiny cat? Sure.

    My brother's 120 pound German Shepherd? No.

    I love Copper, (the German Shepherd) but he is huge and produces a LOT of smelly dog oil that gets into anything he lays in too long. He has designated dog beds for that reason.

    Cats are small, and don't have the same oily coat many dogs do.
