WHO GIVES A SHIT: Does Your Dog/Cat Sleep In Your Bed?

An article came out in the NYT last week which talked about the ever growing practice of allowing pets to sleep in one's own bed: Warm Nights, Cold Noses. And yep: there are all sorts of diseases-n-shit you could get from letting that go down. But also the main take away from the article was: most people don't give a rat's ass.

People REALLY like to sleep with their pets.

And surprise surprise: as someone who takes my dog to the motherfucking dermatologist, buys his furry ass organic dog food, and speaks to an animal communicator: I do it too. What's even more pathetic in my case is that Oliver can't even get his ass up on to our bed his damn self. And I refuse to get those ghey carpted steps that you can lean up against the bed, cause they all just look so ugly (sidenote: can't someone make a chic version of those??). So each and every time that dude comes up to the bed (which is probs 4 out of 7 nights out of the week) I actually have to lift his 57 pound hawt bod up there like he's cleo-fucking-patra.

Then we go through this dance where: first he lays down in my spot and I push him out; then he lays down in Greg's spot and Greg pushes him out; and then he settles in his inevitable home for the night: the end of the bed. Though, also he almost always jumps off at some point in the night and ends up back on the couch...not sure why, but we rarely wake up with him there.

What about you, btchz? Do you let this insanity go down too? Or are you all a bunch of Cesar Millan worshipping hard asses?
