I don't even want my snot nose kids in my bed, to hell im going to let a shite eating booty licking dirty arse dog lay in my bed.

I'm 72 and over the years have had about a dozen different dogs. Out of all those dogs, only one even slept in the house when she was sick and on her last legs. All the others had nice outside dog houses or dog pens with houses they stayed in.

frick dog hair everywhere, going out and coming back in with dirty paws then jumping on furniture, nasty SBD dog farts........

Never have had a dog in the bed with me, and never will.

But, to each their own because I know there are many today that look at pets as their "Little Fur Babies". I'm not that guy.

My Aussie, who was the best dog I've ever had, did not want up on the bed. She would position herself to sleep where she could be ready to engage if there were any issues that she needed to address.

Other than her predecessor, a Belgian Malinois, she was the first dog I've had that would truly stand her ground. No one was getting into the car or house when she was inside.

I once went to Newk's with my Aussie and our Border Collie (who loved everyone, particularly kids). It was summer, so I left the car running for AC and went inside. When I came out, there was a small crowd watching the car. The Border Collie had moved to the drivers seat and the Aussie to the passenger seat. It looked like they had just driven up. I heard a lady say "I know they didn't drive up here but ..."

No shot in hell I let my dogs sleep in my bed. That’s what the floor is for. They even have a nice dog bed. I just don’t get the dog worship people I guess.

Actually there is, I have hound(s) - more than one

If you have watched "Uncle Buck" you already know how this ends for me.

One would think it might be good practice for having a wife, girlfriend, or maybe a boyfriend, next to you one day.

You and your entire family smell like dogs.
Your home smells like dog.
You can deny it, but it is inescapable.
Allowing animals onto furniture, much less into your bed, is disgusting.
I like my dog a lot, but she is an animal.
There are boundaries that should be observed.

In bed and on bed are very different things. My dog sleeps on a blanket by my feet and always has. No chance he’s getting under the covers, though.

Dogs can manipulate their eyes by using a muscle to raise their inner eye so they look like a human infant, aka puppy dog eyes
