My dog is cuddled up to me under the duvet

I lost my boxer in August, I got her when I was 19 and she was like my child. It took me weeks and weeks to get used to her not being on my bed with me. She’d slept with me from being 8 weeks old. She was the cleanest dog and never smelt. And I found sleeping with her very soothing.
I have a Cavapoo and she is absolutely spoiled rotten. She is allowed on the sofa and anywhere in the house (I’m lucky she doesn’t shed hair at all). She does have a crate downstairs that she sleeps in at night but when I’m between my night shifts she sleeps on my bed. She comes and sleeps on my bed in a morning as I’m getting ready too. My daughter often says I love Mabel more than her. What can I say? Mabel listens far more than a 12 year old 
she’s our baby, she’s 11 now. I believe dogs deserve the best
It’s not sad at all. We give our dogs plenty of cuddles, on the floor. Just because you don’t want them on the sofa doesn’t mean they don’t get plenty of love and cuddles
implying you love your dogs less because you don’t want them on the sofa is ridiculous. We don’t allow ours (two labradors) on the sofa, and they aren’t allowed upstairs at all. Both dogs have, in the past, taken a fancy to sleeping on the sofa when we are out of the room! They cover it in hair so it’s not hard to tell when they’ve done it!

I’ve had dogs all my life, they were never allowed on the sofas when I was young and lived with my parents but I let them on my bed. They never slept there all night though.
Now I have my own house with my partner and we have a pug. He used to sleep on the old couch in our flat but since we moved to a house and got a new couch he doesn’t get up on it. It’s leather so I wouldn’t mind if he did but he chooses not to.
He lies at the end of our bed on a blanket at night while we watch TV before bed, but goes into his own bed in the spare room when we go to sleep.
His snoring would wake the dead!

My dog sleeps wherever she wants in my flat or at my mum and dad's as she lives between houses she's my baby and she does what she wants she's a Jack Russell/chihuahua actually here is a pic

Yep my dog sleeps on the sofa.
At the moment he isn’t allowed upstairs (the cat hates him so she has the upstairs, he has the downstairs
he’s a cockapoo and doesn’t moult, so eventually he will be allowed upstairs x
My dog is not allowed on the couch, so she just chills and even tries to sleep on it, with just half of the body and two legs on, as she sneakily claims that is technically not on the couch...
It actually is sad. You can justify it all you like at the end of the day you care more about the appearance of a bloody bed or sofa than having them comfortable and happy with you. Your tone in your posts says it all lol.It’s not sad at all. We give our dogs plenty of cuddles, on the floor.

OMG. We have a pug and can relate to this. He sleeps downstairs and once I could hear him snoring from my bedroom (ear plugs in, door shut
)
Our dog is part of our family so yes he is allowed on the sofa. I dont mind him sleeping on the bed but my OH doesn’t like it. I tend to go upstairs first, so he will snuggle in with me, until my OH comes to bed. He sleeps next to my side of the bed on the floor, he has a bed downstairs and also a crate upstairs with a bed inside.
Hes a small to medium dog, doesn’t shed hair. I don’t have an issue. Compared to ours his life will be short and I do everything I can to make him happy and comfortable. I call him my youngest baby because both my kids are older than him.

My dogs are extremely happy and as comfortable as they can be, thanks for worrying though. Our eldest girl is very arthritic now and close to the end of her life so we are doing all we can to make her last months happy. Our big boy is full of love and cuddles, which he gets loads of. I don’t give a toss about the appearance of my sofa. I have 3 young kids. Our sofas are not in any way pristine. Please don’t make assumptions about me, just because you do things differently. Our biggest dog weighs 7 stone. I don’t want him ever thinking about jumping on a sofa when my small kids are on there.
I didn’t even initially reply to you. You quoted my post and decided to get defensive about it, your issue not mine.

I can sometimes hear ours through the bedroom wall.
I've been working from home since the beginning of lockdown and he lies at my feet, have to apologise to people I speak to on calls for the noise
Your opinion might change when you actually get a dog. My mom has never been a dog person and has always been grossed out by my dog getting in bed even just for a cuddle (it's so relaxing). But when she sat my dog and I came home when she was in bed guess who I found cuddled up in her arms
