Sleeping on bed

First topic message reminder :

Hi, we have had our adopted Staffy for a month now and he always slept in a crate. I've been letting him sleep on the bed. My Mum says I should stop, but if I have no problem with it is it OK

how right you are! I love our staffy snuggles on the lounge now... why did we wait for so long???

Same, Moo wasn't allowed on the sofa or bed when I first got her, now I wouldn't have it any other way

Lola has always slept with me in my bed. To start with she is by my feet when I watch tele, then she moves up to my neck and snuggles my ear, then during the night she manages to get under the quilt and plonks her bum on my leg.

I did try her in a plastic oval large bed once by the side of my bed, but I felt awful because she couldn't stretch out, but she didn't actually mind, it was me that did, so back on the bed she came.

Once when she was real small she lay on my left ear all night and all the next day I was deaf in one ear, it cleared thankfully.

Great pic.
Know what you mean by once you let them on thats it. I fell asleep before for 20mins and woke up with a dead arm. Talk about take advantage of a tired man asleep

You are so loved not just taken advantage of Awww bless

They do like to be comfy!!! Max,s grandparents visited yesterday for his birthday. Dillon kept wanted his seat back where Grandad was sat! They kept saying you shouldnt let him up, daren't mention the bed. Max's auntie said same. They obviously don't realise Staffys are special and love to be by their human. If were alright we it and it's our home, then I think that's what counts. If Max (son) is asleep on sofa Dillon will cuddle upto him and vice versa! Max says:

It's the cuddles that make it all worthwhile, though, isn't it? They're so loving!

Max and Dillon

Saxon isn't aloud on the bed, but he is aloud on the couch. So we snuggle on the couch. He sleeps in his crate, though, and probably always will. It's just safer for him and our things.

He is a good cuddler, though!

Adore all these photos of the precious furbabies.....so full of love.....what smoochers!!!

Jethro and his daddy share some quiet time

Great photos. Love the last one with Jethro practically asleep on his head
Nice one all. Great pics

Aww Vanessa thats a proper staffy snuggle, great pic

CatSina, I love the Saxon's colouring. Best cuddles!

Staffy cuddles are the best. I only knew of the stereotypical Staff until I researching when I had the opportunity to adopt Dillon. On rescue sites they stated "typical Staffy loves cuddling on the sofa". I'm so glad we took him, right now he's asleep on my feet. Then he'll follow me to bed, he's definately a mummy's boy!

when people come over Jethro tries to sit on their feet, so they can't move.

Yer Moo sits on feet too!!

They sure do love there snuggles kaiser wants them off everyone who visits the house he also thinks he is a lap dog and can sit on everyones knees but he is far to heavy and it looks so silly

Yes, but as he can't see himself it doesn't matter! Why should he care? He's comfortable & getting a fuss..........heaven!

There is NO WAY Vinnie would entertain sleeping anywhere other than IN bed with me. I've tried to shut the bedroom door so he stays in the hallway but he has actually whined all night and scratched the door so badly I've had to give in. I must admit though I do like Staffie snuggles. Good job I don't have another half eh!!

You could train that out of him if you wanted to lol!! I love my snuggles though Xx

I know I really should as his little spikey hairs get everywhere. Also, as I live in a bungalow, he's straight in from the garden and on the bed...muddy paws, grrr! How do I start training him to stop whinging and scratching at the door?

Use a baby gate, that way he can still you so it shouldn't be a worry, may take a couple of nights though so be strong lol!

Or get a throw for the bed, thats what I do

Good thinking. I've got one on the kitchen where he goes when I go out so I could use that. Prob end up going with the throw idea though! Cheers

Ledger usually sleeps on my bed every now and then tho he chooses to stay downstairs in his bed or on the sofa. Guess I'm lucky that he curls up really small and as the night goes on he snuggles into whatever nook my body has lay in. If he goes up to bed before me tho he pulls back the covers enough for him to snuggle into with his head on the pillow usually pinching my side but he always looks so 'look mom I've warmed the bed for you'

Tuesday morning I woke to find my boyfriend spooning two dogs, and I was on the edge of the king size bed

OMG!

im the exact same, but its me who spoons my staff. my OH goes mad, he tries to get her to cuddle him but she wont haha. and i have a kingsize bed, but end up on the end with no room to roll over. the joys of having a loving staff
