Our two Yorkies sleep in the bed with us. On the pillow. I change the sheets every week to two weeks if I forget. Totally off topic- but are the Yorkies good with your baby?

He's been here for just over two weeks and is 12.5 weeks old. I had read that Siberians only shed twice per year, for about 10 days each time, but we didn't really believe it. So far he hasn't shed at all! It's awesome! He definitely sleeps with us -- the breeder said it's important to help him adjust to his new home and bond with us. It's adorable while he's actually sleeping, especially when he snuggles up next to me. But he wakes up sometime between 4am and 6am and starts plotting his attack on his mortal enemy, our comforter. Five minutes ago, I stared at him as he crouched down and just waited because I knew he was about to pounce on my face. The little maniac is lucky he's so cute!!!

I wash the sheets weekly (I love fresh sheets so sometimes it's 2x a week), blankets weekly, but sadly the comforter has to be drycleaned so it's been neglected. blackbird on "Does your pet sleep with you?

He doesn't shed too much because I get him groomed every few months. I won't talk about how often I do not wash our sheets.... Ash on "Does your pet sleep with you?

I hate locking them out but they're very bad bed mates. littlek on "Does your pet sleep with you?

My husband is asthmatic, so they aren't allowed up by our heads or on the pillows, or under the sheets. sorrycharlie on "Does your pet sleep with you?

I dropped my bra on the bedroom floor the other day by accident and swore, sure enough, I picked it up and it was literally covered. I had to lint roll it. sunshineandsushi on "Does your pet sleep with you?

He's a finicky sleeper, if you touch him the wrong way, he gets angry and jumps off the bed. That said, our rule was he was only allowed on the duvet, not under the covers, to minimize shedding (he's a black Lab). He loves to sleep on our bed during the day when we're gone, but I nixed that when he decided that sleeping on the duvet wasn't good enough and would rake it down to get nestled in under the sheets. So now he's locked out of our room when we're gone. I don't like sleeping in a hairy bed! We change sheets once a week. Mae on "Does your pet sleep with you?

Now the dog sleeps on the floor and it is nice to have a (mostly) hair-free bed. artsyfartsy on "Does your pet sleep with you?

She's a messy German Shepherd, so lots of fur and who knows what. We wash once a week. @lemondrop: how do you wash the whole bed? I'm intrigued. edelweiss on "Does your pet sleep with you?

She sleeps with us, but under the covers. I wash the sheets 1x a week. The duvet cover probably 1x a month. Should be more often, but it's too much work these days. :/ She doesn't shed much though, is indoors only, and gets a bath about every week or two. PurplePeony on "Does your pet sleep with you?

I try to wash the sheets every week, give or take a few days, but don't get to the duvet cover very often because it's such a pain to get off and back on. I do vacuum it at least a couple times a month to get rid of the cat hair, though. lemondrop on "Does your pet sleep with you?

We keep a blanket over the foot of the bed where the dog sleeps and wash that weekly-ish. We do brush the cats and dog often (the Furminator is the best tool ever for hair removal!), and give the dog a bath monthly. I also run the vacuum with the upholstery attachment over the top quilt weekly which helps. pinkcupcake on "Does your pet sleep with you?

That's what I call them too :) when we had carpet, I had to vacuum everyday and the amount of fur in the canister blew my mind. Now we have hardwood and unless I swiffer daily, golden balls of fur tumble weeds float by every which way. Sigh. If she wasn't so sweet and loveable.... LovelyPlum on "Does your pet sleep with you?

We have a Pointer whose favorite thing is to basically sleep right on top of us. It's worse in the fall, too, when mud can get into the crevices of her paws outside and end up on the bed :/ We change the sheets once a week or so, and we usually have a blanket over the duvet. I am thinking we need to put a sheet on it instead of the blanket, though, because washing the blanket is a huge pain! betsyboop on "Does your pet sleep with you?

I have two Yorkies and a Golden Retriever, too <3 Our Yorkies sleep in bed with us, but they don't shed so it's alright. I only have to change the sheets once a week. The Golden isn't allowed anywhere near our bed - her shedding is so out of control. Sometimes I wonder how she has any hair left on her. Boheme on "Does your pet sleep with you?
