Anyone else on the same boat?

We have king sized bed, room to be apart or together, it's only goes belly up on holiday if we've had tiff and only have a regular sized bed.

I don't have a dog.




But my fiancee does! A big black labradoodle. He's not allowed in the bed, and if he was it would be in place of me. Pets in bed, another no vote here.

I never let my dogs up, but an indoor cat I honestly don’t mind. It’s quite nice 🐱

One of us will frequently take to the spare room but its usually if one of us gets too warm (i can't stand any heat at night).

I feel you get a better nights sleep on your own but its not something we do automatically, there's usually a reason for it.

Our dog may sometimes sleep on the landing or bedroom floor although i prefer him not too, he's an occasionally mildly smelly Lab...and for that reason, he's never ever allowed on the bed. (TBH, even if he were scrupulously clean, i wouldn't have him on the bed but that's just a personal preference)

Our dog has never had lice until we got a cat

She’s totally indoors though, so if she gets lice it will be from me! Lol.

None of my Cat's have 'Lice', the odd flea maybe but 'Lice' never.

I think cats are lovely clean animals. I love picking her up and burying my nose in her fur.

Either way, the poor dog suffers for the cat's socialising

So you keep the dog in the house, it doesn't get to go rooting around in the grass picking up Fleas and Ticks then?

Through Victorian times until the 1950s the double bed was considered unhealthy; twin beds in the same room were de rigeur.

When all this business with Covid19 started, back in March, my wife decided we should sleep in different rooms so we don't breathe on each other all night. Well, a few days ago, I asked her when we would get back together at night again. She said she is quite happy to stay as we are as she sleeps better on her own, having more room in bed. I must add that she is 74 and me 69. At first, I was a bit taken aback but now, I feel I have adjusted and enjoy having the room and bed to myself.
Another reason why she wanted her own bed is also because Molly shares our bed and it didn't leave much room. Now , Molly chooses with whom she wants to be every night.
I tend to think now that this arrangement works well in fact.

A dog in your bed, I bet that smells well. Rather stick with the pussy

I'm sure it is - but I'm allergic to them 🤧🤧.

Would not work in our household, my missus gets upset if I want to go to bed before or after her, in her book we have to go to bed at the same time together. Apparently its because it was a big thing to her parents who's marriage lasted 60 years.

More sex if you go to bed at the same time.

It's not the dog that is bringing them in, she's 12 years old & never had fleas, until the cat turned up 3 years since then each summer despite using Spot-on the poor dog seems to suffer
