No more sleeping on the bed

[KonaRider]

We (try to) make our two babies sleep on the floor but once we are out....it's party time and I usually wake up for work in the morning with Dixie's head on my chest and Teutles at the foot of the bed at my wifes feet. I don't know if we can keep them off this side of making them sleep in their crates at night and I can just imagine the crying that would lead to.

Try sharing a twin size bed with a 67.5 lb boxer! (Had to do that.)

I've got you beat! How about sharing a twin size bed with 3 boxers and a pit bull! Now with Emma it will be 4 boxers and a pit bull. Now that's cramped! (Luckily that only happens when I visit my parents.)

whew! All is not lost. We started our boy on the bed from the first night! We tried the bathroom, call from a neighbor. We tried tying his leash to the bed, ha ha ha. That was his party time. Then when he was tired he'd jump up on the bed anyway. Awwllll right. At first he was curled up at the bottom of the wifes side (shes short) , but slept all night. OK. Then as he felt more comfortable at home he now has this elaborate routine he goes through putting covers where HE wants them like a mad dog, all the while turning in circles. Its a funny sight, especially the look I get when, after all that work, I pull the covers the way we want them. But now it's the stretches with his back paws pushing anything in his way, thats looseing its cuteness. He's getting stronger by the day.

I love my Buddy ! Someday I'll figure out the picture thing, being a boxer He's a natural ham and I've got some awsome pictures with that million dollar face that they all have. (I'm not partial)

You think that's cramped, try sharing a queen sized bed with two full grown 75 lb male boxers and a 6'3" hubby. Now that's cramped. I'm lucky I get any room at all.

My dh is 6'2" and mine are almost as big as yours. Thank god im only 5'2" or it really would be hell. Its funny though, they only sleep on my side not dh's.

Well i was gone for the weekend to Cali to visit family and Dh let the babies sleep in bed with him ( i probably would have done the same if he was gone) So last night was a little bit of a struggle with Chopper, he didnt want to lay in his bed on the floor but Harlie went straight to her bed and crashed out pretty quick(she was full of Benadryl from a bee sting) so i let the boy sleep on the bed cuz he looked so pittiful when i told him off, you know the look its the one where they look at you out of the corner of there eye with there head down, yeah that one so i couldnt resist. But to my suprise this morning Chopper was laying in his bed and Harlie was on mine hogging all the covers. So i think with some time and patience we will get them to sleep in there own beds.
