Once our bed is made up its larger than the one we have at home. We have three small dogs, 2 Miniature Schnauzers and a Lasa Apso and they all sleep on the bottom of the bed leaving His Windyship plenty of room for his nuptials once the Viagra had kicked in. Just incase anyone mentions about the diseases that can be caught from dogs don't bother to go there, someones mentioned it before. I can think of a few diseases, agreed, but I can think of hundreds of diseases from sleeping with another human being and I'm not talking about sexually transmitted ones. ;O)

What diseases can you get from dogs? I must have missed that post.

We always make up the double bed ( traditional twin bed or double alternative). My wife sleeps in the gap between the two front lockers, under the bed. She says she finds it quite cosy. That leaves plenty of space in the double bed for me and the dog.

We have two labradors a normal sized white lab who is ten and an oversized oaf of a chocolate lab who is about 30% bigger and only just coming upto three years old.

They both love caravanning and given the chance will leap in the van and lie down in the front seat foot area just to make sure they're going.

They both sleep in the van on the floor and are great companions to me and her ladyship. Both are real "people persons" and enjoy meeting people and other dogs.

The chocolate lab manages to reverse himself under the bed slats at night. So if he forgets and jumps to attention I get "surfed" out of bed with no option but to take him out for a walk. Despite that and his ensatiable desire to nick my socks he is a great friend and a joy to have around.

We have always had dogs. our dogs bond with us and accept us as part of their lives as we accept them in ours. We have never had to be agressive towards them as they do what is expected because they want to please us and get the pat of well done. Sure we mmake allowances when on holiday and they have to wear a collar too which they don't do at home. Rarely do we need a lead as again they understand that they follow us and behave with dignity and co-operation.

I reckon (having had children ourselves)kids today and parents could learn a thing or two from this behaviour pattern. How many times do you hear a parent bellowing at their child??!!

Excellent description of what happens in our caravan! Good to hear you enjoy the same. Only difference is that we have a German Sheppard x Collie and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. The later is same size as your Choc Lab but with a curly coat. (Think of your dog as if it had been roge**ed by a sheep)

We only have to bring the caravan home to prepare for a trip and they are both in it waiting to go.

I will not open the behaviour debate again but I totally agree with you comments on that.
