Title: Where Do Your Pets Sleep??
Post by: injest on October 08, 2008, 12:14:29 am
My horse sleeps in his stall of course.......and the dogs have assorted beds all over. We only bring them in when the weather is bad.

the cats sleep with us though. Cry baby stretches out on my right side and I put an arm around him...

sometimes he tries to sleep on my LEFT between me and Don...and then he turns on his side and tries to push Don away from me with his feet!


   

Milly is sweet and non pushy...she curls up at my feet. (unless my son and his bf are home, then she sleeps with them)

Both my pets sleep with me in my bed. I sleep on my side and Cody likes to sleep in the bend of my legs. He slowly works his way up the bed during the night. The cat sleeps on the pillow next to me and he purrs me to sleep. He purrs very loudly for such a small cat. :)

Well........our birds sleep in their cages on the verandah. Every night I go out and say "time for bed" and cover their cages, and say "good night".

Our fish sleep in their tank, and they know its bed time, because we turn off the aquarium light.

Our dog, is a Marema, a dog bred to guard small stock. We are his flock, and once we are both in bed, he positions himself on the floor beside the bed and does not leave us until we get up in the morning.

My kitties USED to sleep with me.  But now they have well and truly adopted Mom and Chris, so they sleep on one or both of their beds.  Night before last, I dreamed Titania was sleeping on my chest and licking my chin....woke up, no kitty in sight.  :( 8)

I don't have a pet at present but hope to get a little dog or two when I retire.

I had a German Shepherd when I was a child. Because she was so large, my parents insisted that she sleep outside. And in those days (the 1950s) it was generally accepted that dogs should sleep outside. However, more times than not, after my parents had gone to bed, I'd smuggle her in with me. I slept on the verandah, so it was easy for me to do.

Ha ha Kerry, I remember doing a similar thing, when I was a child.

I actually used to let the dog sleep under the sheets down on my feet. How the poor thing didn't suffocate is beyond me.

My cat used to not get into the bedroom at night but after his brother died, we relented for a while and kept the bedroom door open - ofcourse now we can't get him ioff the bed at night.. he just waits till we're aslepp and then hopes on - always at the bottom of the bed on MY side.. never Callum's  - which is well annoying cos I can't move my feet!!

Our old cat we had, lived till he was nearly twenty.

As he got older his bladder was weaker so used to want to go outside a lot more to pee. So we took the fly screen off our bedroom window, and always left the window open, summer or winter, and he would sleep on the end of our bed, but be able to make an exit when nature called, then come back in to the comfort of our bed.

The 2 cats and 3 dogs all play musical beds.Normally the maltese sleeps on my pillow, the german shepherd cross, suckles my husbands fingers, I know, weird, and sleeps there initially, but tends to go from bed to bed,unless the door is shut.The cats sleep on my daughters bed, unless they are out partying the night away.!!!The golden retriever sleeps o the floor by whichever bed the malteses is on.

Awww....sweet! I bet it got cold in the winter---or did you pile on the covers?

My dogs have kindergarten mats and comforters that they sleep on (in the house). My huge dog sleeps in the floor beside my bed on a body pillow and a blanket---she used to sleep with me, but she takes up too much of the bed. Plus she is older and can't get up on the bed with ease. My tiny dog sleeps in the bed with me--sometimes cuddling under the cover, sometimes at the end of the bed without cover, and sometimes on my pillow. (In other words--where the heck ever she wants to sleep!)  :P ;)

We have a pet shop, and have a cat there that came in as a kitten to be sold, but then after it got sick, we decided to keep it. It lives at the shop 24/7, we are open 7days a week so he has someone there every day. He obviously treats the shop as his home, and will sleep anywhere he makes himself comfortable.

Here is a a pic I posted on another thread,  showing one spot where he sleeps....The customers are used to him, and we just work around him....

My dog sleeps in the garage, but my cat makes the rounds of bedrooms, and likes to crawl under the covers!

one cat likes the lid on the piano, the other one likes to lurk under a sofa.

I don't know where Blaze sleeps.

He can't sleep with me, I'm allergic to him.  I'm fine, as long as I don't hold him too long.  So my bedroom door is closed to him.

I found out that he will start to meow loudly if he's not getting a lot of attention, so he'll wake up my parents and brother, so he's not allowed in their rooms either.

We let him stay out all night in the house, he's not locked in a basement or anything, he has access to his food and litterbox, and all his toys.  He probably curls up on the couch to sleep.
