My Daughter and Son in law have 9 little dogs, each has a story~ they are mostly rescue dogs ~ and All are spoiled rotten. They live about 25 miles from me in their own home with a huge fenced backyard with doggie doors going into the garage, then into the house. At times when they both have to be away overnight, I will go stay with the "kids". I take my little dog LilBit with me, then there are 10 dogs. All vieing for my attention. When it comes to bed time all but 2 of them will get up on the king size bed. It isn't too bad, except for the rare occasion when you end up with a dog fight in bed with you. I think my dog is the worst for starting that. She is too over protective, even tho she is a minpinn/chi cross she thinks she is a Rotwieller at times.
Even at home she thinks she NEEDS to protect me from Kitty Joe who will occasionally come in to bed and lay by my head. LilBit, when she is in the "protect Mom from that damn cat" mode will instead of getting on the inside of the bed like usuall, she will lay on the other side, in the spot where the cat will come to sleep. She will run him off every chance she gets. The little snot.
