Do you sleep with your pets?

Question: Do you sleep with your pets!?

Nightly Ritual
by Elaine P

After mutual cheek-rubbing
Whoopee takes her place
close to my heart
the feline child cuddles
plants a few wet kisses
turns on her purring machine
purrs me to sleep!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Having grown up on a farm, mucked the stalls and cared for the critters, I enjoy the bed bereft 4 legged's! Your poem however, purred right well!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The eighty pound dog
curls up in a ball
trying to look petite
she sleeps on the corner
til snoring begins!.!.!.
when she stretches out
it's all over for me,
I lie awake like a pencil
to make room for three
By morning it's clear
who's running the show
my hubby and I
are squished like sardines
(Not necessarily a bad thing)
the bed taken over
by the canine queen

To answer your question: Yes!. Magic "lets" us sleep with her in our bed!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think Buckley would like my bed
It's full of cheese and slices of bread!.
The sheets are all crumby,
The cheese is all runny
And the pillows smell too funny
For this regal bunny
Buckley is far too well-bred!.

The rhyme went all to pieces there - but do I care!?
I'm in a funny mood to-day,
I'm writing to see if it'll go away
But for now, I'm just off for a nice long walk
So, like Alice's white rabbit
I've no time to talk!.
'I'm late, I'm late!. For a very important date'

I once owned a cat!.!.!.!.he didn't do that!. He treated us with disdain during his long-lived reign!. Rimmer his name, his one claim to fame!.!.!.!.!.from Red Dwarf, you know!.!.!.!.do you get that show!?
Excuse me, I've got a case of rhymer's verbal diarrhea !.!.!.!.!.must dash!.
(Sorry - poem is cute - you love that cat, too much)Www@QuestionHome@Com

oh brother, I would but now it would be kinda hard and awkward to have my 100 and some pound dog sleep on the top bunk with me lol(shes a rot/lab mix=)!.
But when I slept on the lower bunk Anne(that's her name) would sleep with me and the cool thing was, she would always wait at the foot of my bed until I gave her a hug then she would lay down and go to sleep!
I love your poem=)Cats are very soothing and cuddle!. !. !.when they want to be;)Www@QuestionHome@Com

aw, sweet!.
i could try sleeping with my pets!.!.!.the only problem being, they're rabbits!.!.!.hehe!. i would wake to find them sititng innocently in the middle of my floor, surrounded by chewed wires, ripped clothes and rabbit droppings; and all their eyes would say is

"surely you cannot think it was *us*!?!?"Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, my two kitties sleep with me!.!.!.Daisy sleeps at my side and Leo at my feet! Zeus, the big black lab however, sleeps on his own bed under our bed or else we would need a bigger bed to fit him up there with us! I enjoyed your poem, Whoopee is such a sweetie :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

They sleep with me, at least George does, Grace views the bed as her personal playground and sometimes instrument of torture!. Could Whoopi teach her some manners!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

When the storms are all about
They are in my bed no doubt!.
Otherwise they are content
To sleep under the air conditioner vent!
Now when winters cold winds blow
By the fire place they lay low!.

If sleeping with one's pet is the norm for budding poets, as seems the case from the answers so far, then I think perhaps I'll stop writing now ! (or is it just an American thing!?)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really love your "Ode to Whoopee"!. I have a very large dog named Taz!. I like to lay with her on the floor but If I let her In my bed she would take up all the room!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Alas, I am petless
I'm hoping it won't last
A dog is on my list -
Big one that doesn't hiss
A friend, a protector
Yup, that's my endeavorWww@QuestionHome@Com
