Have you noticed that when dogs sleep on the bed when you’re not in the bed, they sleep right in your place? They are laying claim to that space, making sure they have their target clearly outlined so that when you get into bed (even if the dog is not currently on the bed) when they do get in, they exactly where they’re heading–your space. I think the bed cooperates with the dog.

OMG! That is so cute!! ^^ I know the feeling of having to share a once just for me, king size bed. BTW I once had a very itsy bitsy tiny dog and the thing still managed to take over all the place left in the bed. I think that they go flat and widen when they fall asleep.

LOL! Another violent sleeper… and here I was thinking I was the only one! My poor husband has been punched AND bitten by me while I was sleeping.

I often wonder why he puts up with me.

I’ve had the same problems, but with a 15 pound Jack Russell.
Now, normally he’s pretty much infatuated with my dad, but when my dad goes out of town he attaches himself to me. I don’t mind except that he is a major bed hog. He’ll normally spread out along my stomach as I generally sleep on my side, but if I try to move, he fusses at me by growling a little. It’s pretty much ignorable.
What’s funny is that if you try and move him with your hands he gets upset but if you push him around with your feet he doesn’t care at all.

On a side note, my girlfriend’s cat is funny because she took over a blanket that I had given to my girlfriend. Now it’s pretty much the only place she’ll sleep. One night we moved the blanket around on the floor and she followed it, laying down to sleep like nothing had happened each time.

Welcome to AZ, TJ! I hope you like it as much as I do. I’m going to point my wife at this blog since I’m sure she’ll be able to relate to many things in it.

One word of advice. Don’t let the dog sleep on the bed. At all. Ever. And you need to firmly establish your alphahood. Get a choke chain if you don’t have one and take Brinkley for walks in which you don’t ever let him actually get in front of you. Heck, go get a Ceaser Milan book and read it. OK, that’s about three words of advice – at least one of them must be worth something!

Cheers

My wife and I have a Great Dane bitch. A very spoiled dog, to say the least. Example: One evening she spent nearly an hour standing in the middle of the floor and crying. Nothing would satisfy her. That is, until my wife remembered that the dog’s blanket was in the dryer. Pulled that blanket out and the dog went right down.

We have experienced similar problems of the dog wanting to sleep in the bed. The female Dane has always been good about making as small a presence as possible (note: Great Danes do NOT make a small presence no matter how hard they try). For awhile we had a male Dane (DUMB AS ROCKS that one was) who would try EVERYTHING possible to get between my wife and I. Waking up with a 150lb Great Dane STANDING in the middle of your bed trying to push his way in… is quite the experience.

I lay on my back when I sleep. My cat, for the longest time, would wait for me to fall asleep, sneak into the room (I’ll never know how she opened our doors..), take the spot on my chest and just lay there staring at me.
First time she did it I damn near threw her across the room.

Since, it’s just something I’ve come to terms with. I’ve tried to make her quit but she loves watching me sleep.. Girlfriend thinks it’s creepy as hell.
