What kind of mastiff pup are you getting? Maybe boerboel? :) tonka also sleeps much better on the bed with us just like a little angel.

Lol. No, a male EM. I'm still learning about these guys, however, I'm trying to get my son interested in boerbels.

And speaking of that, our beds offer so much better comfort. Unless we buy a twin Tempurpedic for the dogs, I'm concerned for their joint comfort. Since Pippa and I weigh the same, I lay on her bed, like she does , hips, elbows and if I feel it, I know she does. I know the Barker bed is supposed to offer best but I'd have to try it first.

Are you getting pippa a boy? :) tell your son boerboels are wonderful :)

I will. Yes Pippa gets a little brother! I will have him neutered when he's 18 months, which means only 3 heats if she stays on her schedule. I'm still contemplating having Pippa spayed. So many pros and cons. Talking to the breeder concerning their ancestors. Pippa and new boy will not be closely related. Pippa's sire and new pup's dam have same grandsire, but I will Not breed them! And I'm also learning that none of their families have had any health issues whatsoever. Genetic tests were all good, OFA rated good and excellent all the way back (I checked). So they would make a great breeding pair, but I'm not a breeder and prefer to leave it up to pro's. Anyway, that's the plan.

I just wanted to say that I had the same issue with Hamlet (4am and he was sneaking into bed). I also wanted to say that it doesn't have to be perfectly one or the other. For six months, while I lived alone, Hamlet slept with me every night. Nowadays, he understands that he can sleep on the bed as long as there's only one human. If there are two, he goes to his bed, though sometimes he gives a reeeally big sigh before resigning himself. :D

Yea, the 'humans are crazy' sigh, lol.
Sometimes I swear they shake their heads at us when we're not looking ;).

Is that a picture of Hamlet?
What is he? I can't tell from the small photo.

He is maybe supposedly a bullmastiffXpit mongrel. ~80-85# Temp of a BM, athleticism/lean body of a pit IMO. That's a pretty old pic.

I love my bed-hog. :)

She curls up on my side and keeps me warm... except when she curls up on my side and SCOOPS all the covers off my back-side! LOL!!

OH, and it's not just the home bed... she thinks she gets to sleep with me WHEREVER we are... that includes in the RV/Trailer, at Mom and Dad's, hotels, etc. If I'm sleeping there, that is HER place too. :) Talk about a MONSTER! I wouldn't have it any other way, though.

Poor hubby...:oops:

At least Pippa, is a big girl, which explains how she manages to push people over......but how do you explain my 19lb tiny dancer, managing to shove me over to the very end of the bed while I sleep (?) :D
You think that's bad. I had a 7lbs cat push me off the bed.

I was wondering did anyone of you let your dog to sleep in the bed with you since he or she was little? My fiance and i did let tonka sleep with us in the bed almost from the start so she got used to it so did we. Now everything is fine she sleeps next to me sometimes on my pillow as it was hers ,we also play on that bed because its big, so i am thinking what will be when she grows up? Will she be able to get use to sleep on her bed on the floor through the night ,did any of you had this situation? I think i said it right we have created a cudly little(not so long) monster :)
Ohhh man. We started off good. But those eyes peering up... Now they think they can lay sideways and we're both on the edge. Or i wake up and one is sharing a pillow with me [emoji23][emoji23][emoji24] Or we're sweltering.

Im dreading summer because there's no way they can sleep with us when it's that hot. I want to get them big barker beds when we can afford to.

Pics included to demonstrate their size. I hate having them in the bed. But when they're not I miss them. Can't win!! Decide before it's too late!
