Okay - I'll admit it. I sleep with a real dog (No, I mean a REAL dog . . . we're not talking a Yorkie or Chihuahua here, we're talking 95 lbs of serious hound dog.). I can hear you now, "Robin, you're a bright girl, Heavens . . . some might even call you a cleanliness feak . . . how did this happen?"
Well, if you must know, it's those big brown eyes and those huge paws and that pitiful little peeping sound that I heard coming from the big fluffy L.L. Bean doggy bed just a few weeks after the Rhodesian Ridgeback Beko came to live with us. And since I'm being honest here, it also had something to do with my feet being cold since my husband was away on a business trip. The next thing I knew Mr. Beko had found his way onto my bed and my feet have never been cold since!
Now of course there is a downside to all this. My husband did not stay away on business for long and he did not take well to my new bed bug. Of course, I had visions of Beko nicely abdicating his spot on the bed and returning to that big fluffy L.L. Bean doggy bed. But, as anyone who has ever owned a dog could tell you - no chance in hell!
So here's the big question. Where does your pup lay his shaggy head? On your bed?
Good that their other creatures do follow the suit: they have a constrictor snake and 2 white mice
My goldens sleep in the bedroom with us - either on the floor or on their own chair - when my husband has had one too many cocktails they get to sleep on the bed! He always complains about the dog hair on the comforter for days afterwards:)

Jon - That photo is TOO CUTE!
Brad - Unfortunately, Beko doesn't understand the "it's time to leave" command!
Stephanie - Do the goldens meet him at the door with the martini glass in hand (mmm . . . paw)?
