Question for those have dogs or kids, probably tmi

champ579 · July 2011

My dh and I have two doxies, the dogs like to sleep in our bed. My question for everyone, when you have little ones or dogs, do you lock the dogs and the LO's out of the room when you want to get "romantic" with your DH? My dogs get to upset with us and we have to keep them out of the room. They make more noise outside of the room than us in the room.

We usually send them out of the room, but they don't seem to mind. I usually find them sleeping on the couch or curled up together sleeping right outside the door.

Edit: I should clarify I am talking about our dogs lol.

I love that you posted this. We have a bichon (see pic below) who sleeps in our bed. She stays in the bed for "romance". We have a king sized bed so we don't even notice she is there. We used to put her in the kitchen but she'd cry, which was more distracting than actually having her in the bed!

LMAO - this is so my situation! Our dogs go nuts when we start to get romantic. I think its because they are protective and they think we're hurting each other. We've never had to lock them out because they eventually self sooth themselves, but on occasion they won't back down and that's when I get annoyed. I wonder if you fed them a kong with some stuffing in it, if that would do the trick (keeps them preoccupied). That way if you still have to lock them out, at least they aren't messing with your head as you try to get it on LOL!

We just kick the dogs off the bed and make 'em chill on the floor for a bit. We have a king though so usually we only have to kick one off and he prefers the floor.

I would be worried that our pooches would try participating, who knows. That is hillarious.

We lock them out. We have to or else they will jump on the bed and interrupt. However, if they are already asleep in their kennel beside the bed (they start off the night in the kennel then are allowed up in the bed to sleep in the morning) then they usually don't make a fuss. Turn on the TV or something to drown out the noise.

Yikes!!!! Sophie usually lays down in the other corner until we are done. Although a few nights ago I looked over and she was pretty close and was staring at us!

LMAO!!! Indifferent

We kick our dogs out but they are not the issue...the cat is! He fully watches and worries!

I also have a doxie. And she sleeps with us as well. But she is trained not to jump up on the bed herself. She had back surgery a couple years ago and so we have trained her not to jump up on anything. So DH just puts her on the floor during romantic time. And she lays on the floor and stares pathetically up at us until we finish. Then we lift her back up on the bed.

My MIL has a doxie named Twinky. She used to have one named Slinky! So stinkin' cute!

sweepie412 · July 2011

haha. Our golden isn't allowed upstairs but we do have two cats that DH calls the pervs, it is like they have sex radar!

ufsandra85 · July 2011

yes. puppies get thrown out and into another part of the house. otherwise they think their daddy is killing their mommy

october_artist · July 2011

hahaha I love this post so much! Our min pin is told to go to her own bed and then we shut the door to our room (her bed is in the living room) - we have a really good thing going with our dog, she's great, no whining etc! after we are done i open the door and if she feels like it she'll come back in and sometimes jump up to lay at the bottom of the bed while mama and daddy relax a bit or else she just chills in her own bed.

JerseyGirlAtHeart · July 2011

Yes, they have to leave the room. One just lays at our feet but the other gets in the middle and ruins the mood..

Stretchad · July 2011

Ours typically sleep in the bed, but we tell them off and they'll just go on the floor and fall asleep.

Dog started snoring really loud last night, which made the BDing a little tough...

crystalknpp · July 2011

We lock them out of the room. They usually fall asleep out in the hallway right outside of our door!

defcandy · July 2011

The dog gets demoted to the floor and the cat gets locked outside the room. We've tried locking out the dog but she cries so much that it's too distracting. Usually a treat will keep her occupied .

Thanks for starting this thread. It made me *LOL*

Carolee · July 2011

We crate our dog.

hahaa... I cracked up reading this. We BD during nap time or bedtime for our LO, when we dog sit the dog stays on the bed Embarrassed He won't get off but he DOES NOT look!

amidkiff · July 2011

Monty sleeps with us, sometimes he'll just curl up in the corner while we BD. But if we get to rambunctious he will jump on the floor as if we are bothering him. It is pretty funny, cause before he jumps off he will sigh like he's saying "Jeebus, again?!?!" lol

saramichelle32 · July 2011

Crate for the puppy and closed door for our other dog. Puppy is fine in the crate but my older dog has tried to jump on the bed for a nap. Figures we are in the bed so she should be too!

Haha we lock the dog out for this reason. My dog is so unpredictable...I get nervous he'll start licking things he shouldn't.

mchisolm · July 2011

Lol...what a great post! We used to kick puppy out but he'd get stressed and go potty on the floor. Now, we keep the door open, and if he jumps on the bed a simple snap from mommy makes him jump down.

We have more of a problem with the cats. They have no regard for personal space, and snapping DEFINITELY does not work for them.

meeko1985 · July 2011

Haha! I love this post! I hate locking my dog out becuase he cries a weird cry the whole time! I don't like him on the bed either. We have a kennel in our room, so he goes in there lately.... but I remember when we first got him, and we were totally clueless as to what to do. lol!

HBaylies · July 2011

LO is always sleeping whether it be bed time or a nap. The dogs are either asleep in their crates if it's night time, or we close the bedroom door to keep them out if it's not bed time.
