Sasharowan Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I voted for my mom since we don't have dogs. They used to just sleep on the floor or a throw rug, but now that they are older (11 and 12), she got them dog beds with sheets over them (because it is easier to wash the sheets than to do the bed covers every week) and the kids got them fleece covers for Christmas.

BMW Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I HAD to pick other... because he sleeps on the couch... and he sleeps on a dog bed... and he sleeps on the bottom bunk in the boy's room.... :001_smile::001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Our dog moves between our bed and a doggy bed during the night. During the day he sleeps on the couch or the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatMomof3 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 My two dogs (a lab and a german shepherd) sleep outside in an insulated doghouse that my husband built for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieZ Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I chose "our bed" b/c this wasn't a multiple selection poll. We have 4 dogs. One sleeps on our bed. One on dd14's. One on the floor. One on the couch. Sometimes they also sleep on the dog bed. LOL, it's a lot of dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I voted for 'our bed'. :glare: When I come to bed, he is usually in my spot. He moves to the foot of the bed and lays where my feet should go. When I'm ready to go to sleep, I start pushing/kicking until he decides to get off the bed. He has a nice big dog bed right next to me but he usually just lays on the floor. Then, sometime during the night he gets back in bed :glare: last night it was right by my head. BTW - he's a Golden Retriever. The Chihuahua sleeps in bed with the kids, he's a great sleeper.

Peek a Boo Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ok, so after I started this thread I realized I had some foam padding from a 2" foam mattress topper that I had leftover from cutting a larger one. I got an older beach towel and sewed up the sides and cut the foam to fit in there and VOILA, I have a dog bed for my one dog that likes something softer. similar here. We have three dogs now: our SPCA black lab mix: she sleeps on the floor and on the couch, but she's our patroller, so ends up in various places on the floor depending on what she feels needs guarding most at that particular time. ;) 16yo ds' GSD- sleeps on his bed with him. during the day she'll sleep on the floor in his room, floors elsewhere, or sometimes the couch. My husky-- the darn dog isn't keen on housetraining, so she spends a lot of time tethered to one of us or in her crate. She's a couch potato, so that's usually where she is. Once we decided that she'd be crated a bit more than the others [when we leave/ at night/when we're too busy to watch her] Mr. Boo built her a nice crate that's a bit roomier than most huskies would need. We used a 1" foam pad doubled up that someone was tossing out for the cushion and just wrap a sheet around it [her fur doesn't stick to the sheet like it does blankets/ towels...]. She's got the best spot in the house, lol. No dogs on OUR bed- Mr. Boo would flip. ;) Took him long enough to get over letting them inside, then on the couch....

kewb Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Anywhere he wants. Sometimes the floor, sometimes the couch (although he knows if his blanket is not on the couch he is not allowed), the kid's beds, or our beds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Our dog used to sleep on a cot sized duvet - I could never find a dog bed big enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LIS mom Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 He has a dog bed. $20 from Costco. Sometimes if he wants to stretch out, I'll find him on the floor because the dog bed is more for curling up and getting cozy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 He sleeps on...the $30 couch I scored off Craiglist (hey - if you have four cats and a dog ALL your comfy stuff comes from Craigslist :glare: ) AND the floor, AND my bed...the cats took his dog bed!!!!! This is a 85 lb Labrador, btw!!! all the floors here are (beaten up) hardwood...so not that comfy. I do not want carpets - too hard to clean up fur and hairballs!

momofkhm Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 He has slept on beds in the past. When our last dog had to be put down, it's like he didn't want to sleep on a dog bed anymore. I've told the kids that he can sleep in their beds if they want, but he is not sleeping on my bed. More because of dh than me. I don't care about the cats on the bed, I could probably get used to the dog as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMary2 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I chose other for, "all of the above." They have a dog bed, but our bed is their favorite. They also sleep on the couch, blankets that fall on the floor and they stretch out on the cool tile for naps when it is warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 I wish our dogs would have slept with the boys. They WANTED the dogs to sleep with them! But the dogs gravitated to our room, which we didn't want. I can't sleep with them in there. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom22ns Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I voted other because you only gave one choice. My dog sleeps in ALL of those places. Right now she is asleep in her favorite downstairs chair. She also has a blanket on the floor and likes sleeping on our guest bed when we are downstairs. Upstairs, there is the couch, love seat, chair, our bed, the blanket in our floor or the bathroom (tile floor is cool in summer and she hides there during storms). Really, she isn't picky as long as she can be close to us. Our Great Dane always slept on blankets. We had one in each living area and one in our bedroom where she slept at night. She only got on the furniture if we weren't home to stop her :glare:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.MacGyver Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 We have mostly outside dogs. They have a large kennel in the garage with straw bedding and a doggie door. Sometimes I get the cedar chips so they end up smelling like gerbils... When they do come in, they just sleep on the carpet or in their crate. They would rather sleep in an enclosed space than out in the open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
