Again, dogs are wonderful. Cats are very much the same. In fact, pets in general are just awesome, and that's why it's so difficult to tell their sad little faces no when they want to sleep alongside you in bed. It seems like a win-win situation. You get cuddles, so do they, and both parties sleep soundly throughout the night.

It can also make you sick, if Dr. Jane Heller of Charles Sturt University is to be believed. Think about this: there you are, snuggled up next to your furry pal and looking forward to a night of sleep like never before. In the middle of the night, you end up face to face with him/her, and he/she doesn't think twice about slobbering all over you, even into your eyes, nose and mouth.

Dog beds were created for a reason, but if you absolutely can't sleep without Rex, then at least wash the bed regularly.
