Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well, Ruby has been with us for 7weeks now and this morning all hell broke loose!!! Thankfully in a good way. Ruby is complelty MAD, she plays for hours throwing toys in the air, running off with anything she can find n generally causing chaos. Goldie just lie's there looking on in disgust, a few times she has tried to play with Ruby but Ruby then decides not to play! However this morning it was All change, lets all play n even better lets do it on top of mum lying in her bed!!!! I can honestly say I have NEVER seen anything so funny, I knew they would love each other in the end, now just need to master sharing a sofa!!

About a year ago my 2 ended up sleeping in my bedroom - much to my horror, but we had had 2 weeks of crying all night so I relented for a bit of sleep. I know your circumstance is a bit different - but each to their own I say. If its gonna avoid a mishap with kids treading on dogs & dogs being safe, then go for it...! Your house, your dogs, your rules.

We only have one greyhound (Katy), but do have 2 children and we do have a bed in our room on the floor for Katy. All I can say is it works for us, but every dog and child is different. When the childrens friends visit it is somewhere for Katy to go out of the way if she chooses as the downstairs of our house is very open plan. We did originally make a mistake by letting Katy on our bed when we first had her and that didn't work with the children .... she certainly thought she was too high in the pack. The bed on the floor resolved this issue. Hope this helps.

We met Bess this afternoon at Waseley Country park with her new family.She is so pretty and her mum had groomed her in the morning and her coat was gleaming in the sun.She is clearly much loved a picture of health and responsibly muzzled.It was so funny watching her taking all the unfarmiliar sights and sounds.

I think as long as they are in your room and not in and out of your small childrens room you should be Ok but you need to be careful and reinforce with the kids how to behave round the dogs.

Hi chazat, we have ellie-may sleeping in our bedroom since day one. you say to yourself that they are not going to sleep in the bedroom but she was home 24hrs and that idea went out of the window! we have 2 boys that like to fight and play in the house and ellie's space is under the stairs where it is quite for her , she does join us when we are in the living room but she will happlily just go to her own bedduring the day. I think that if you are not bothered about your grey sleeping in your bedroom and she sleeps well then there is no harm, ellie sleeps by the side of my bed on her quilt and normally we dont hear a peep out of her until the morning, just the occasional wanting to go outside in the middle of the night to toilet and she then goes straight up to the stairs.i think that if you have one or two kids like i do that are not quite then you need to let your dog have her or there own space. hope this helps. ann and ellie-may.xx

I would like to get an opinion on what grey owners feel about their dogs having their beds in your bedroom. We are having issues on where to have a quiet place for the dogs to retire without being in the way of children traffic. Bob's bed was originally above the stairs, now Lizzie has come and wants to share with Bob there is not much room. We have always had issues anyway of the children and their friends having to walk past not giving the much peace. We have made a bed in our bedroom which takes them away from the traffic but is this ok? We were told in the past that this was a big NoNo! especially if you have kids....discuss.
