well I,m in the minority too like Rocky NY mom. No animals in my room . the door is closed. It started that way because of allergies but also I really need my space and I don't sleep well if I'm crowded.DH is ok, but that's it. Neither of my dogs seem to mind. My mutt has free reign in the house and usually sleeps on the couch. Ginger, boxer, is still crated at night, but we're thinking about starting to leave her out as she is getting much better behaved.
