Fronkey over on Hammock forums sleeps with Kiba. My pup is too big to sleep in the hammock with me, although she certainly would like to try :)

yep i do, but she is a small 80lb lab. the hammock is a 12' 1'9 coat nylon DIY. this is only in cold months. i don't make her hike in the heat. too much for a black lab. KK&K

You can get fleas from shelter mice too.

I do ,but it took her a while to relax in the bridge hammock. Twenty pound dog is a full time hot water bottle.
WOO; doesn't your pup hammock with you as well? Or am I dreaming again?

You might want to see what your dog thinks about the hammock... :D
I just found out I have one dog (65lb lab-golden) who will climb up on a hammock if I am in it. She prefers to sleep on her back, alongside me. My other dog wants nothing to do with hammocks, so she opts to make her bed under the hammock.

Illaelle, that is delightful. Sorry for the dog but laughing. Is there one of us who cannot relate?

My Bro sleeps in his hammock with his Lhasa. During winter months, his dog is trained to hop into the sleeping bag, crawl to the end, and not move all night.
Now if my Bro could just teach the dog to hold a pee bottle....for him.

Same here. My 40lb blue heeler will hop right in with me, and in the winter time it's pretty comfortable. My 55lb red heeler curls up underneath.

My wife has slept with our Great Dane, that was until Sophie got excited one night and clawed her way out the top. Sophie doesn't sleep in the hammock any more!

Holy cow! :eek: I have met some rather large Great Danes in my time... I have got to ask - How big is Sophie?
I have an 18lbs papallion and a HH hyperlight with bottom entry. I usually just pick him up and put him in it and because the bottom seals there is no way out. Hes trapped with me muhahahahaha and sleeps on my feet. So the bonus is I get some extra warmth in my foot box area for colder months and don't have to carry extra weight for it.
