10 Thoughts You Have If Your Dog ~Lets~ You Sleep In Your Own Bed With Them

In This Article:

I have an 8-year-old miniature pinscher who has slept with me every night since he was a puppy. Sometimes I wish I could just have the bed to myself, but I can't fall asleep without him cuddled up next to me. If your dog sleeps in bed with you, I think you'll relate to these 10 thoughts I have every night.

1. What if I squish the dog in my sleep?

It's a legitimate fear.

2. Can dogs breathe under the covers?

Seriously, how can they breathe in there?

3. I am so uncomfortable right now.

Just...a little...more room...please!

4. Does it make me an awful person if I push this dog out of the bed?

I just need to sleep without a dog on top of my legs every once in a while.

5. There's definitely not enough room in this bed for my dog.

How does a dog take up more bed-space than a person?

6. Why didn't I train my dog to sleep in a pet bed?

Probably because it chewed dog beds up as a puppy.

7. Where is my pet? I can't fall asleep without them.

After a while sleeping without them just doesn't feel right.

8. Please stop licking the bed.

I mean, it's just gross.

9. Yuck! When did your breath get so stinky?

No amount of Greenie's can fix this dog breath.

10. This is the bond of a lifetime.

Will I ever love anything as much as I love this co-sleeping dog?

10 Things Only Equestrians Understand

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
