Our Little Bed Buddy

When my husband and I first brought Butters home, he was insistent that he would NEVER let Butters sleep in the bed....

Well, that didn't last long :) My husband is a huge softie for this little dog.

Now that Butters is completely housebroken, he sleeps with us instead of in his crate. Butters was really doing fine with his nightly crate routine, but we missed him when we went to bed. He started out with his own little place at the end of the bed, but now snuggles right between the two of us.

Lately, it hasn't just been our little cav on the bed... it also has been ALL of his friends.

He will bring up one toy after the other and carry them right up to our pillows, just to rest his little head on his mound of toys. He especially likes to bring them to my husband as if they are presents! He has come so far from the little dog that used to hide his toys away

That is just so cute. These dogs sure know now to make themselves comfortable!

That is just adorable. :l*v: We have a new dog, and guess who refuses to put her in the crate, to the point of letting her sleep between us (mind you, this is a 45 lb boxer, plus Rose!) instead? It ain't me! lol!

Oooooooooooh Butters is absolutely boooooooootiful. I wouldn't be able to stop myself from letting him sleep on the big bed either. Your hubby is so right and a very good Cavalier man http://www.cavaliertalk.com/forums/i...ilies/cool.png

hi
butters is absolutley beautiful its must be hard to say no to him they are so cute our cavaliers
i love my louie with all my heart but i will not allow him in my bedroom or on my bed
because that is the only place were you can go where there is no dog hairs in our house
sending butters kisses and cuddles from louie and his mum

Thanks for the replies! I agree, Furrfoot, that it is the men that end up being big softies ;-) When I was growing up, my sisters and I all knew that my dad was the pet push-over. The dogs would gather at his end of the table at dinner time... I bet we can all guess why!!

I know what you mean, Lindy, about the dog hairs. That makes a lot of sense, and it is nice to have a couple areas of the house that aren't covered in dog hair. That was my husband's main reason for not wanting Butters in the bed, but I guess cuddles won out this time.

How cute! :) Hard to say no to a face like that

beautiful photos. he is so cute.
how old was he when he first started sleeping in your bed? mine isnt even home yet..and i cant wait till shes housebroken so she can sleep with me. :)
i miss bed buddies :D

(i used to have 2 cats on either side of me and oliver at the foot of the bed.) then it wsa just me and meeko...and i brought home simba (second cat) he has been too annoying to let him sleep in my room and if he cant then meeko cant because i cant close the door between them and the cat box. :S

Mine loved to sleep between my husband and I, and I loved having her there. She would get so excited when we went camping, she was always the first one in the sleeping bag waiting for us to get in. :)

I adore this post! This is precious. We can't be without Lady in the bed anymore. It's terrible.

Are you a photographer? What kind of camera do you use?
