Everyone always asks us if our five dogs sleep in bed with us. Once I confirm that they do in fact sleep with us, the next question is: HOW? Here is a little insight into our bedtime routine that totally works for us! The Dogs: All of our dogs were rescued from various shelters and rescue groups. They each came with a different sad story and from a different place, but now they are a part of our family! These…
