Azlin's does that too. She gets her two front legs up and just lays there looking at me til I lift her hind legs up.

If I didn't have a hubby who was against it or 5 dogs (4 being EM), or a queen size bed, or a high bed, I'd be all over it hahaha! When I got my Jezzi (Ol'gramma) I had a cal king and it was standard height she had her own side of my bed :) but I bought a new one and it's kinda high and well smaller so I made sure she had her own special bed. Now I just have to many they won't fit. But the hobo cat takes over our bed in the middle of the night (he thinks he's a mastiff) has to be sure to touch you no matter what!

However, duncan does get to claim my nieces bed, if my boys beds weren't loft beds I'm sure the EM's would claim theres :D

The inside staircase is a spiral staircase. While the dogs will go UP the spiral staircase, none of them will go DOWN. So I have to sneak them (right; try & sneak a bullmastiff ANYWHERE) through my housemate's room, to the upper deck, & down the outside stairs. Which means getting 2 bungy cords off the top gate, down the stairs, getting 2 bungy cords off the bottom gate, letting them out onto the lower deck, then going back up the stairs & strapping both gates closed again. So to answer the question, not very often. On the rare occasion Sunny sleeps with me, he insists on laying across my legs. Some time in the night I can no longer feel my foot, or turn over. Ruby has to sleep right up against me; Bella can't decide where to sleep so she just keeps getting down, then getting back up. And Bella always tries to steal the covers. Magee doesn't sleep on the bed because she's blind & has fallen off on occasion. It's too scary.

Barron has slept with me since he was completely house trained, before that he slept in the crate. About 6 months ago he started this new thing (he is 7 years old), he sleeps on the bed about an hour, then gets up and gets a drink, when he comes back in he lays on the floor next to my bed. Now I might be alittle paranoid, but I think he waits until I am fast asleep again then whines at the bedside until I say, "come on up" then he jumps up like its a new treat and goes to sleep for the rest of the night. weird dog! the new puppy is sleeping next to my daughters bed in the crate, once she is fully house trained I am sure she will be in my daughters bed.

Budda use to leep with us every night. Even when he was'nt allowed. He was a Ninja dog. It might take him 5min to get on the bed so you never new. One paw at a time, wait, wait, wait, next paw, repeat. The issue is he looses all nija mojo once asleep and he seemed to think he had to strtch out as far as he possibly could, or lay on you.

So Kona and Duke dont. Though Kona has taken a likeing to jumping on the bed if we leave the door open when not in there. They sleep on the love seat or kona recliner. But Kona will also get in her crate or the spare bedroom that she apparantly claimed as her daybed.

When the wife is out of town the dogs seem to know. No need to ask them to come. When I go to bed Duke's right behind me and kona behind him probly biting him on the butt....

Camo (the Neo) sleeps in his kennel. The other 5 (3 Chihuahua, doxie, & Maltese/Papillion) sleep in the bed with us. We have a king sized bed,,but I think having Camo in there also would be the last straw. He's only 4 mo old, but he's growing like a weed!

Well I started off saying no way are we having the dogs in the bed but now it's me that sneaks them in when the wife falls asleep although Marley seems to take up the whole bed the little one I don't even notice. One of the main benefits I have found is that Marley snores exactly the same as my wife so I find its very comforting and enables me to sleep when she isnt around. :)

I think the front end up on the bed and the hind end waiting to be lifted is a Mastiff thing, or maybe a BM thing! My BM Boscoe would do that EVERY night! it is a lazy factor!!! Now Gunner, on the other hand, will leap and bound up onto the bed when I say so, although he usually forgets that his hind legs are spring loaded and therefore completely clears the bed if he gives himself even a slight running start. I have moved my bed up against one of the walls so that he can at least use his head and the wall to brake so he does not fly into air and land in/through my closet doors!!!! However, now that I think of it, when Gunner is getting into the truck, he takes the total lazy approach, I open the passenger door, he puts his front end/legs up and rests his paws on the seat, then stands there, waiting, staring at me to lift his arse end up!!! I think he does it so people will laugh and stare at me, or maybe because when I lift his butt he usually farts, I swear he laughs at me!!!!! So maybe the lazy lift my butt up position is a Mastiff thing!!!

Rita, our naked pit bull/bulldog mix sleeps with me on my bed under her own blanket, the rest of them sleep on one of the 6 dog beds in my room :)

My Pittie/Boxer does this as well !!!! Anywhere she sleeps she curls up and HAS to be under a blanket!!! Whether it is under my covers, or on her bed under her blanket! I think it is because she and Pibbles in general, do not have that much fur at all, so they like to be cozy warm and as close to their people as possible!
