    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.

    2 x dogs are outside, they couldn't be trusted inside at night and i can't stand the hair everywhere anyway.
    The cat is an outside cat, he actually goes and sleeps in the shed but on the rare occasion we let him inside he likes curling up on DD2's bed or we find him asleep at our feet.
    I'm not a fan of animals in beds so it grosses me out a little TBH, no matter how cute & comfy he looks.

    DC (dear canine) sleeps inside. He is a big dog but is old and skinny and I worry about him being cold even inside. Once we have a proper house he can be inside all of the time if he wants.

    Unfortunately due to a child with an allergy, our only pets sleep in a big tank full of water.

    The dog (Golden Lab, she's only 4months) sleeps in the laundry on her bed until she's a little bit older then will either be outside in a kennel on the veranda on stay in the laundry.

    The cat sleeps wherever she feels like it. Now and in winter she's on my bed curled up right next to me inside or outside the blankets.

    I've always had inside dogs too, so our guy sleeps inside and varies between lying on the floor against our door, or curled up on the family room rug. He has had lovely soft beds before but he's a nightmare and completely destroys them within 24 hours so until he's out of the chewing stage, he's on his own. He has free roam of the kitchen, dining and living areas and the hallway to our room, but not into our room. There is a baby gate across the other end of the hall to stop him getting into the girls' room. When he stops chewing things I have no doubt he will end up worming his way onto a bed somewhere.

    The cat used to sleep on our bed, but got kicked out when we started closing the door on the dog. She has just discovered that the girls' beds are just as comfy so I've found her in there a lot of nights. Otherwise, she and the dog curl up together.

    Lenny - have you tried non/hypo allergenic dogs or cats around your LO? We chose a breed that doesn't shed because I hate hair everywhere - cat is shocking and didn't want to make it even worse with the dog - and he is also supposed to be good for people with allergies. My SIL's husband and their son both have extreme allergies, including to animals, but no problems around either our dog, or another SIL's dog who has the same breed.
