The thread "sleeping with the canines..." made me start this thread. I would have just posted in that, but generally people answer the main thread rather than quetions posted in the thread....
Lee and I have only let shadow on the bed with us once, it was after a big argument, but thats another story. Now it was lovely when she was there, but I couldnt have her sleeping up there every nite with us. Personally I dont think it would be fair on her to let her sleep upstairs say, once a week, and then the rest of the week in the kitchen in her own bed. Plus it would be really difficult for us to get her to sleep in the kitchen, ever since we let her sleep upstairs shes become very difficult come bedtime, never had a problem before that.
The main reason I dont want her upstairs is because, well, if she was there, I couldnt.....well, um, you know, be intimate with my partner, one because she'll sleep between us, she starts off on the floor, but ends up between us. And two, cos the thought of her being there....and doing...you know....stuff, really really grosses me out.
What do you guys do? Do you not let them upstairs? Do ignore them when you want to be with your partner? I'd really like her to be upstairs with us, its lovely knowing she's there, and I feel soooooooo guilty leaving her downstairs, its starting to affect my sleep! help!
Suggestions please!
Im really hoping this thread doesnt come accross as childish, im 22, and seriously, this is becoming quite stressful, im feeling guilty all the time!
