Do your dogs sleep on your bed?

Foxy has slept in bed with me since the first day I brought her home from the shelter. I had all these lofty goals of crate training her in the beginning but she screamed and screamed and I gave in after about 20 minutes. 
She barely moves once she's settled in and she will often put herself to bed before me if she thinks it's getting too late

Oh yeah. They're both pretty good sleepers and sleep in bed with me every night. Rowan even has his own pillow He sleeps to my left, between me and the wall. Riff sleeps on my right, stretched out against me. If it's cold, Rowan will sleep under the covers. If it's hot, sometimes he'll get off the bed because he's too warm, but otherwise they're both always up with me.
I always think that future dogs will not be allowed to sleep on the bed, but that was the goal with Riff too, and you can see how that ended. lol

Other.
Bodhi slept in my bed for years and years. When I began visiting other half, she point blank refused to come up onto his bed at night, and found a spot downstairs to sleep. So when I moved in she began to sleep downstairs in a spot of her choosing (the doors aren't closed off).
Fred has never slept upstairs on a regular basis, as other half doesn't like dogs in bed (too hairy for him and his princess and the pea complex).
When he is out, the dogs sleep in bed with me I feel more secure that way. Although last time Fred took himself off to a spare bed for the night lol!!! I was kicking him I think!!!
To be honest, I prefer it now they don't sleep on the bed, as I like my space, and sharing with another human is already too much sharing lol bodhi was the best as she's very very polite and curls up against your stomach perfectly. Fred hogs the bed, and he's not small...

No, Quinn isn't even allowed in my room.
She isn't a easy going dog and you give her an inch she takes a mile. She also tends to guard places from other dogs when she's uncomfortable and my room, especially when I used to allow her on the bed, was a big trigger.
So now she just doesn't go in there, took me a while to get used to it but for us, its better overall.

I'm actually not sure why I'm ok with the dogs in bed because I really do like my space. If our room was big enough and DH would agree to it I'd seriously be thrilled if we had seperate queen sized beds. We could be in the same bed for sex and cuddling, but when it came time to actually sleep is have the whole thing to myself-lol.
Yes, always the option! Although, currently Chomper likes to sleep between my two bookcases in my closet, as the floor is cool (not like it's summer here anyways). But, now I have been putting him in his crate again at night, as he WAS doing really good about not getting into things and being naughty at night, and then I woke up to my laptop cord, headphones, and speakers destroyed. But, if I'm awake and chilling in my room he is indeed allowed on the bed during the day.
Other because yes they are but we rotate nights since 2 dogs and 2 people is too much! My third dog prefers to sleep in the crate or on the dog bed, she will sometimes hop on the bed but not often. They all get on the bed if just one of us is sleeping or the rare mornings we get to sleep in. Even though they take up a ton of space, move around, kick you, for some reason I love sleeping with the dogs and they love cuddling and bedtime.
Yes, but he does not when me and the Mrs are in bed, when my alarm goes off at 5 am, I get up and he gets in bed and lays down beside her in bed and snores. Other day power went out due to storms, at 505am he woke me up jumping in bed, rolled over looked at the clock that was blinking 1200 looked at phone and was 505, so it did help me not to be late to work.
Now if he only could learn my days off.
Wife says she has actually reached over and pulled him and said get up for work, to him, thinking it was me because we both snore so loud.
