4 Reasons Co-Sleeping with your dog is a good thing.

In This Article:

Dogs are the most dedicated creatures that have come to us, they are loyal, loving, and they are always learning.

As a dog mom myself, waking up in the morning with a 60 pound beast curled up right next to me, is always a heartwarming feeling. Animals are sensitive to emotions, that being said, if a dog is willing and ABLE to sleep next to you in bed, must mean the connection between the dog owner and the dog in question is a healthy one, so ROCK ON!

However there are always people that do not understand the feeling, and so here are 4 reasons why letting the dog on the bed is a good thing.

Your dog won't judge you! Your dog loves you and understands that you are who you are, they won't judge you for what you do in your sleep. Whether you snore, talk, or sleepwalk; your dog will love you either way.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
