Love my three labs. Me and my wife jokingly call them our girls. They sleep in the bed with us. But.....
They are dogs. They are in the end animals. As long as they get off the very second I command them to we don't have any problems. Being close with your dogs/cats are fine. In fact I feel it is healthy for both you and your animals.
Where I draw the line is when people treat their pets as people. They are not people they are and always be animals.
The only issue I have with our dogs in my bed is - when all three are in the bed with me and my wife - it gets crowded even in a king. I have woke up at 2 am with a dog foot in my face. lol... But in the winter - it is cool sleeping in a big ole dogpile.
