Where does your B sleep?

Basenji Talk
  • :o Huh? :o LOL!!

  • @Quercus:

    We have dogs in the bed, and a three year old (not in the bed…he has his own bed). So I guess we managed to do the husband-wife thing....

    LOL, I'm not sure what the husband/wife thing is all about either:confused: . All THREE of us sleep in the bed together but I guess I concider all of us to be part of the same family. To each his own, I suppose.

  • Yikes….....get over it

  • @LaurieB:

    Yikes….....get over it

    Get over what???

    Seems to me, you need to get over people doing what they want in and with their own bed….

    I think this thread has veered of of the topic of Basenjis, so this will be my last post...feel free to have the last word.

  • Last night was especially comfy…A little chilly, I had the bedroom window cracked, quilt on top, two "B's"..... one behind my knees, one curled up by my stomach. Doesn't get any better!!!!:)

  • It is especially nice when it's a little chilly to have a B curled up next to you.

    Well said Andrea!

  • Bed sleeping is definitely a personal choice. Mine sleep with me for a little bit then they go to the couch or crate.

  • We have four B's and a mutt terrier sleeping with us and my Son get's the other two B's. I guess it's a personal choice as to what does or doesn't crawl in your bed with you. I love my B's and my wife…....and I sleep with all of them.:D :D :D

    Willy generally prefers five star accomadations but has to suffer along with the rest of us.:eek:

    It's especially nice anytime!! ;)

  • Squiggy spent, in his first home, his nights (and my guess days) locked in an outside basement on the step closest to the top. No blanket and ended up with calluses on his legs from the steps.
    Now, in his FOREVER home, he sleeps anywhere he darn well pleases :)
    Which is in the middle of my bed, on top of the covers. He only likes to be covered in the mornings when I am getting ready and only with his blanket.

    Spoiled BRAT :p

  • I like that story! :) good going!

  • We use to have a Queen size bed, one husband, two basenjis and a cat. We upgraded to a King Size bed and we still don't have room in our bed!

  • Lulu sleeps with me in my bed and takes whole bed, and sometimes snores…

  • Been a while since anyone wrote here, but I have to chime in. My B and my Rat terrier and my hubby, and me of course all share a queen size bed. My hubby leaves early morning and I have two loving dogs to keep me warm. And as someone said a while back, I don't have children yet, atleast not human children!

  • Both of mine must sleep between myself and my partner. They prefer being squished between the both of us. The more squished they are, the better (within reason of course). They are not allowed under the covers or on the sofa in our office. The are spoiled and pretty much permitted anywhere else. The squish factor is even more evident when it's naptime on the 'allowed' couch in which they like to be between the sofa back and my back. They fight for the spot sometimes.

  • My crazy Luke sleep with me since we brought her home…Yeah, she has her create and bed, but she loves mine bed the most...So we sleep together, and cheeses, sometimes she snore like an old drunk guy!!!!!!

  • Echo is behind my knees under the covers, Blue is a Daddy's boy and sleeps next to him under the covers but with his head out on the pillow. Merlin sleeps at the foot of the bed on his own bed, but at the first alarm ring in the morning hops up and goes straight under the covers for 10 minutes of snuggle time. Echo has been known to actually crawl into the duvet and get trapped. It's fun pulling him out a 3:00 in the morning. He always pops out with his tail wagging like he's wondering "how did that happen?"

  • Athena sleeps in her crate at night, luckily she likes it in there. She has a nice drape around it so it is dark and a puffy bed. During the day she sleeps on the couch, preferably next to someone, or on her garden window perch.

    We let the cats have the run of the house at night after spending the day in the back half. They are 13 an 19 and are DONE with dogs. They did their time when they were younger and pretty much refused any interaction with Athena when we brought her home. They consider themselves 'retired' from dog training.

  • Ziggy sleeps by my side, on top of the covers (which are hardly needed, in August, in Southern California). He seems to be a very sound sleeper; he'll wake up in exactly the position that I saw him in when we went to bed.

    Definitely looks like a basenji to me. If it was something like a lab, they would be in the pool hogging the space.

    Abbey was almost banned from my son's house after she killed the cat's feather on a stick thingy. We don't have our own cat although she'd like to have one of her own. She loves cats!

    My Mr Eko will be 10 weeks tomorrow. He is a very good puppy too, as he sleeps in his own bed in our bedroom, and has never attepmted to get onto the bed (yet). ALthough we would love to have him in bed, we have decided to keep it as it is (as long as it lasts, i should say instead). He is also very quiet when crated (although i still have to get over my own distress for restricting him while we are at work). But he does love to chew!!!

    They are called Diastix. Some drug stores still carry them, but many have to special order them. You can find them online though.
