Our dog used to sleep during the day on his dog bed in the living room and at night on the floor in our room, usually at the foot of the bed or the floor on my side. The odd time he would jump on the couch and snuggle with us, he was 100lb German Shepherd and we had to put him down last fall :(

Our boxer sleeps on his bed on the floor in our bedroom and our cat will sleep with us for an hour or so but then he gets up and sleeps on his kitty tower in the living room. This is at night, during the day they`re all over the place =)

Sooexcited-we squirted our cat with a water bottle as a kitten if she ever went into our bedroom (DH doesn`t want pet hair on our bed) so she never even steps a paw in our room. they learn quickly.

Our cat sleeps in the living room in her bed or right outside our door. She also NEVER jumps on the counters or goes into our bedroom, thank goodness. Our dog usually sleeps in the living room in his bed (right next to the cats!) or sometimes they curl up together in dog`s bed. Never together in cat`s bed for some reason. =)

ive always heard its unhealthy to have your animals sleep in the same room with you... however my 3 cats and large dog all sleep with us! i really do hate it but i just dont have the heart to kick them out.. if i tried theyd scratch at the door and my dog would bark at the deer all night! but to keep them off counters we have a spray bottle with water in it and squirt them if they would jump up there!

How did you train him not to go on the counters?? I`m forever hunting Toast off the worktops, it seems like I spend half my life wiping them down and the other half trying to get her off them. Love the name, btw! `Toast` was the name that fit for a kitten that would not leave the hearth (she likes to be toasty!)

Our cat, Garbage (haha I know. It was the first name he answered to when we got him after a week of trying out names lol) usually sleeps on the back of our couch in the living room or right outside our bedroom door. We allow him to go wherever during the night because he pretty much minds his own business. He will occasionally sleep in the nursery but he doesn`t bother any of Jack`s stuff. He sleeps by the closet door. He doesn`t get on counters or sleep on our bed.

I`m just looking at my cats all snuggled up on the couch and I feel bad that I`m going to kick them out shortly. We let them have the run of the house at night with the exception of our room (they tend to wake us up trying to snuggle), baby`s room (goes without saying), the dining and living rooms (too many things to knock over).

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
