1 of our dogs does, and if we stay up later than usual, she starts getting antsy, like she's saying "hey, it's bedtime now, guys...let's hurry it up"....she should be starting any minute now....

As dogs and humans are both mammals it is fully possible for diseases to be transferred from one to the other. Additionally a mammal can "carry" a disease element (ie germ or virus) even if they do not have or never develop symptoms. Diseases are most often transferred when there is a contact between damaged skin (ie cuts, blisters,etc) or mucus membranes The greater the the dog and human contact, (especially when the human is not in a conscious state to deter the dog from licking etc) the greater the possibility. This does not mean that all, or most pet owners who's pets sleep with them will get ill. But rather that the chances increase. Chances also increase by allowing the dog to lick your face or a cut on your leg when you are not in bed. With this knowledge we all need to balance what interactions we choice to have with our pets. There are also studies that report health benefits from interaction with animals - such as lowering blood pressure. Because we do not "like" what this study says does not make it untrue, does not make the ones that conducted the study "doomsayers". It is all part of being an educated person and evaluating what "risks" we choice to live with to have a balance in our lives that best serves or emotional and physical heath.

yea ... I think most pet lovers do what u do. But mine's a little special: he's my son's cat. I go to bed quite early n he sleeps with me till my son goes to bed. He'll carry him out of my bed and then the cat spends the rest of the night in my son's bed. ooooooooh, he's just so adorable, I mean the cat !!

Yes, my cat does. Our dog is a Border Collie Black Lab cross. She's way to big to share our bed, but she very happily sleeps right beside it every night.
