When I got my first sheltie back in '97, Sassy was only 3 months old and adorable. I made a vow that I would not let my hairy dog sleep on the bed or on the couch....i wanted to keep things clean. For the 10 yrs I've had Sassy, she didn't like sleeping on the bed or being on the couch. I broke my vow a few times....but she just didn't like it.
Now with Mya, she sleeps with me on the couch...on the bed. Simple to the fact, those 10 yrs I had with Sassy were...very, very short. So...I want to enjoy the amount of time I have with Mya until she passes on....even if it means for her to sleep with me on my bed.
