We have a big dog bed that my Lab, my Golden pup, and our cat all share. It's pretty funny ... my Lab has strong prey drive and isnt very showing of her affectionate, we got the cat from a shelter she was a stray and suprisingly they get along great. But at night the cat gets the big bed to herself, Lab sleeps on her own bed in the hallway (shes the guard) and the puppy sleeps in his crate.
Do your dogs share a bed? Or do they have their own?
Also ... if you have a cat do they get along with your dog?
We have two dog beds, but, well, the cats claimed one of them, so the two dogs share the remaining one. They don't share it at the same time, though; there's no way they could both possibly fit on it. They're Mastiffs, so even the biggest dog beds are only big enough for one of them. (And that's why it's funny when the cats claim one of the beds .. Here you've got this enormous bed, with one little kitty curled up in the middle of it ..) But, it's okay. They rarely want to sleep on the dog beds anyway. They prefer to curl up on the couch or sprawl out on the floor.

And yeah, the cats and dogs mostly get along. Every so often the younger dog gets overenthusiastic and chases the cat, but it's always short-lived and is usually instigated by the cat .. (I swear, that cat knows what a tease he's being when he comes up and starts rubbing against the dog.)
See, here are some pictures of the cats and dogs coexisting:

I have 3 dogs and 1 cat. They all share a bed with me. The cat has been raised with dogs since she was 6 weeks old. She thinks she is one of the dogs. In fact, she is the boss and gets to choose where she wants to be on the bed. I actually have a bed in another room, but I sleep better with the dogs all cuddled up around me.
At night we leave the cages open so if they want to go in there they can. Usually my two Chihuahuas will cuddle up together and the beagle will lay by herself. Lately though I've noticed my long haired Chi cuddling with my beagle:) they all love each other.
CRATED ... separately !
Nope, mine would kill a cat.
My pitbull LOOOOOVES our cats (but they arent very fond of her) and my pug/dashund is a little bastard to them.
My dogs usually sleep where ever. I have two one is a doberman, pit mix he is about 66 lbs and usually sleeps in the bed with me when my husband is at work and the smaller dog sleeps where ever. In some cases when my husband is at home our big dog rocky kicks me out of the bed and i end up on the couch with the small dog. We do not have a cat but when i did have one my big dog and the cat slept together.
