Dh and I have three dogs that sleep with us, two dachshunds and one dameranian. The two large dogs sleep in the bedroom also. One will get in the bed as soon as dh gets up for the day. If I get up they expect to be taken out. The other large dog will not get in the bed as long as the older male dachshund is in the bed and if we put him in the bed she immediately moves. The cat sleeps with dd.
