| | Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep?Page 1 of 30 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30) | OK, first off, I am not talking about any kinky stuff, just plain old dogs sleeping on the bedroom floor, or even on the bed.
I seem to have met several women lately that state "you must like dogs" in their adds. Well, I do like dogs and have dogs. They are dogs in my book. These women get upset with me because I tell them I can not sleep with them and their dog in the same bed. Now I am not talking about itsi bittsy 10 pound dogs here, but full size 100 plus pound size dogs.
I guess to each their own. When I have a girlfriend, I want to sleep with her, not her 4 legged friend. Is that just me or is this a common thing?
Just wondering. | |

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 2:03:58 PM | We love our dogs and yes sometimes they come to bed with us.
They are dogs in my book. Well yeah dogs to you kids to us. Maybe it is the nurturing factor or maybe it goes back to the men leave but the dog is always there. When you have a girlfrend - maybe she should have cats. They are smaller. I dont know what to tell you. Good luck though - some women love their dogs like children, Im one of them.

Posted: 8/7/2007 2:04:28 PM | | I was dating a girl who had 4 cats and they all wanted to sleep with us at night, when we locked the door to fornicate all you heard was MEOW MEOW and scratching at the door, how is a guy to stay focused...I don't think pets should be a bed time partner. | |

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 2:04:31 PM | I'm one of those guilty parties.....only mine are cats. And sometimes I have to sleep in the straight jacket position because I have a cat on either side of me and I can't move.
I guess it's a compliment when your pet sleeps with you......at least they love you.... | |

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 2:07:16 PM | well.. most people that I know who have dogs that are allowed to sleep on the bed.. do make other arrangements when sharing their bed with a 2 legged friend. Otherwise.. thats just tacky....
Pets on the bed is normally a companionship issue and if there is a 2 legged companion.. that would make the need for the 4-legged one on the bed to be redundant. If the ladies you are sleeping with are still wanting the dog for company.. perhaps that says more about you than about them. No insult intended... just a thought.. | |

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 2:14:48 PM | I'd rather have her dog on the bed than one of her kids in the bed !
But , if you tell her you aren't comfortable with the dog on the bed and she says too bad/so sad then you should find someone who would think of a loving relationship with a human a higher priority !

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 2:18:04 PM | Women have NOT cornered the market on this one! I agree, it isn't for me... possibly even deal breaker material, I just know I seriously couldn't handle it...
And what about cats on the table/counter? Dogs that are allowed to beg at the table and slop up scraps right there before it is even considered if someone at the table would like seconds.. ? Nope, can't deal with it.. sorry..
And hey guys, what do you think of those little purse dogs? God that makes me laugh | |

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 2:19:01 PM | My dog sleeps on the floor next to my bed on a big dog cushion.. or on the bed. She gaurds me............ and I love her sleeping near me. She weighs maybe 50 pounds... but even if she weighed 300 ( I'd have to get a bigger bed)....... she would be welcome in the bed.... because she watches over me and the house while I sleep.
Dogs are great... they are a home alarm sysytem, soft furry friend all in one. | |

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 2:23:02 PM | That is why they make dog houses. So the dogs have a house of their own. There are also cat houses, but that is another issue. And a purse dog? Get real. My cat is bigger than those purse dogs. And i do not like him either. But this thread reminds me of a quote from W.C. Fields. Any man who hates cats, dogs, and kids can not be all bad.  | |

His ripped off finger was there in a puddle of blood. The police took the finger and after that... NOTHING IS TOO GOOD for MY dog ! I would buy her a waterbed if she wanted one ! memory foam is what she has now.

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 2:46:01 PM | Actually, when someone says "you must like dogs," they mean REALLY like dogs...not just look at them and say "nice dog Fido."
My dog has a bed on the floor beside me. So unless you curl up down on the floor at night, you're not going to be sleeping with her. That's actually one of me unspoken "tests" when deciding how compatible I am with someone. They meet my dog. If they are constantly pushing her away and rushing to wash their hands if they inadvertently come in contact with her....acting like a little sissy who got some ucky ole dirt on his lily white hands? Well, needless to say, we're not a good match. | |

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 2:58:02 PM | I'm another one with a dog bed on the floor next to my bed. Just having my German Shepherd nearby gives me a great feeling of security. Even better, my guy doesn't mind my bringing her on overnight trips to his place. The peace of mind she provides is priceless, making me more relaxed, less stressed, and a more pleasant person to be around.
So be supportive if the lady wants her dog nearby at night. She may well be much more relaxed because of it. | |

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 3:00:25 PM | No just love and he knew his place -he was not in bed every night. I wish he was around now though. this is kind of sad reading this for me. I have no children and he was important to me- went to the best vet, ate the best food. I was able to give him a great life- as I would have if he was a child. Thats all. I read some of these thoughts and its just sad that some feel this way, thats all. He was my friend but above all a fierce protector.

I don't normally sleep with my cats, just because they tend to get into trouble if I let them in my room at night (they knock stuff off the bookcase and pull clothes off hangers in the closet and open drawers and pull stuff out etc) otherwise I would let them sleep in my room with me at night, just so I have something to cuddle with. | |

from OP's first post:
These women get upset with me because I tell them I can not sleep with them and their dog in the same bed. Now I am not talking about itsi bittsy 10 pound dogs here, but full size 100 plus pound size dogs.
he said 'not kinky" meaniong not including them in sex acts, I take it..but sleeping with a 100-lb. dog in your bed??
if you consider that 'normal', so be it.
I (and I bet many other people! ) have different ideas.
.(though apparently I am not allowed to express my opinion here?) | |

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 4:47:36 PM | ohhhh, tossed salad..... *sigh*.....OF COURSE you are allowed to express your opinions here!
Just when you accuse people of mental illness and say that they are sad, old, childless women who project they latent motherly instincts onto an animal and you feel sorry for them and are disgusted by them at the same time.... you will be chastised for it.
I'd like to express my opinion as well. I would prefer a warm, cozy, furry NON-JUDGEMENTAL bed campanion. Not necessarily a four-legged one.......... | |

| Whats with women that invite their dogs into the bedroom to sleep? Posted: 8/7/2007 6:04:07 PM | Nothing wrong with enjoying a pet. However, I am concerned that far too many people on the personals....(especially mature women) have ammassed a bunch of animals as a surrogate family. This is just problamatic. I am not inclined to want to take that on, let alone compete with it. Everyone needs to do some honest inventory about just 'why' they have animals...and just what is that relationship. I respect everyones choices...and I will accept them. I absolutely may not aggree with them.
For me....and I am certain... a very lot of men (most of us...???_), women who proclaim..... 'I will take my dog over a man'..... is at the very least... a signifigant red flag. | |
