    Where do your pets sleep?

    The dog sleeps outside. She would love to be inside but DH says if she sleeps in the house he won't

    The cat likes to sleep on my bed but lately I've been making her sleep in the spare room because she peed on the bed recently and now I can't sleep well because every time she moves I wake up in terror

    Where do your pets sleep?

    Our muttigans sleep outside curled up together. Mind you one is a Pom x and about 2kgs, the other a Bull mastiff x English mastiff weighs about 45kg! The little one used to sleep inside but nows prefers out.
    So cute when the snuggle together!

    Kitten sleeps with me and DP. It makes it easier for her to wake me up by licking my face at 5am, 5.30am, 6am, 6.30am and 7am.

    On the bed, well various beds around the house. 4 cats and a dog. The dog did start off in a crate (crate training), then moved to just a dog bed, but some how has snuck up the pecking order onto the bed. It makes our youngest happy when she sleeps with her though.

    Sometimes one of the cats gets in bed with us.

    Onxy - once had the kitten wee in the bed. Not a pleasant experience.

    Doggie sleeps inside, usually in the bed in the hall outside our bedroom. Sometimes in one of his beds in the living room. He'd prefer to sleep on our bed but I can't handle that. Also, we're trying to teach him that's he's actually a dog.

    MLR1901- we have a pom and a mastiff x catahoula that do that same thing! Except my Manx kitten joins in lol!
    All my animals sleep outside (3 cats and 2 dogs) but my galah is inside as last time he got a cold he almost didn't make it.

    We have two cav's and they sleep in the laundry on a shared bed. Our two get to come in for cuddles after tea and sometimes in the mornings (or the kids feed them) and get put out when the last one goes to bed.Our laundry door is shared with the kitchen so they can see in the house - it's divided by a baby gate.

    Our dog, Rottweiler, sleeps outside always has, our cat use to be inside on our bed snuggled up to my husband lol! But he has since run away if we had a smaller dog it would be an inside dog for sure.

    Outside. Well, half the time out on the grass I think and half the time on his new bed in the laundry (which is sort of external).
    He used to have a kennel, but tore apart the mat that was in there, I never bought him a new one because he'd only do the same thing and after that he wouldn't use it. We got rid of the kennel
    When we moved and for the last two years he hasn't had a bed..figured I better get him one of those trampoline style ones this year so he's not always sleeping on the hard laundry floor.

    Our dog sleeps on our bed, or on DD1's, or under the covers if he can worm his way in. He's a Jack Russell. When we had two they would both squish on.

    The chickens snuggle together in their coop outside, but they're on the lookout for any opportunity to get inside.

    Outside. He has a kennel he only uses during the day and a plastic tub like bed which despite being way too big for he tries to curl up in. most of the time tho he lays on the cold hard concrete. We keep putting his blankets in the kennel but he always drags them out. i worry about him coming to winter but dh says if he was cold he would lay on the blankets not the ground.
    He just destoys any bed we get him anyway.

    Our dog sleeps either under our bed or with dd in her bed. The cat sleeps on top of me or on the top bunk with dd2.

    Any bed they can get themselves on (and will try and get under the covers) or on top of cushions on the couch. Our 2 little dogs often go to to bed before we do! Great hot water bottles! DD loves them and often asks for one to sleep with her.

    Our cat sleeps at the back end of the house. We can shut the door from the kitchen and she has the spare bedroom, mud room area at the back door where her food & litter are and the basement. No way do we let her sleep with us, she's a pain & we're cosleeping anyway.
