Should Dogs Sleep In The Same Bed With Their Owners?

I have an important question, how many of you feel dogs shouldn't sleep in the same bed as their owners? Well, this question has been on my mind for a long time now, well ever since my female Shih Tzu grew out of her puppy stage. My dog is four years old and ever since she was a puppy I would put her in the bed with me. My dog isn't the type of dog who sleeps wild, she usually goes into her spot, curls up and sleep. I'm usually the one who is waking her up to snuggle with her. My dog Tokyo is pretty much spoiled but she knows when she belongs and when she doesn't. I don't mind my dog sleeping in the bed with me, but the hair hassle can get pretty annoying. I think I don't say anything because when i'm away she's already on my bed resting. Tokyo has her own crate and her own bed laid out on the floor. Is this normal for a house pet? Do you think it's good for dogs to sleep in the same bed as their owner? What are you views on this? 

The First Apartment

 Hmm, so it's about that time for you to move out of your parents house and into your own right? Well, at least I know i'm not moving out of my mother's house until I graduate college. Call me whatever you want, but i'm in no rush. As some of you don't know, I'm planning my first apartment. That's right! I said APARTMENT! There is totally nothing wrong with renting. I plan on living by myself with just my dogs and my career in PR, I can't rely on mortage. Well, i'm in the process of planning what I want my studio or 1 bedroom apartment to look like. I already have a big idea of what I want my apartment will look like, but i'm not going to share that with you right? lol. I'd give you one hint; my first apartment is going to be in NYC. You can see some pictures of what I think is cute for a first apartment according to me. I'm not saying go straight for these ideas, but to have the dream apartment/house you want, it takes time. Deliberate every room in the house and then start to working on each room one by one. Unfortunately, I probably won't be the one to follow my own advice but whatever lol. Hope you like some of the cute first apartment pics. Remember, your first apartment should be a place where a lot of junk is not going to fit lol j/k.
