I used to let my little ones (Trixi and Jesse) sleep on the bed, but since I move around so much in my sleep and Trixi had to be curled up tight against me and had to wake up every time I moved, I decided they would be happier on their own beds on each side of mine. Cody never liked being on the bed. He always has to have his feet on the ground. He doesn't like dog beds either. Don't really know why.
