I saw a lung doctor for asthma. The FIRST THING he asked me was if I had any indoor pets. When I said yes, he said "they have to go, put them outside!. I told him my husband would put me out before he'd put the dog out (LOL). Needless to say, I never went back to him.
To answer the question, I don't have any problems with having a dog on the bed. However, I don't have anything that is hand quilted nor would I put a quilt with a light background on my bed ... these can be 'lap quilts'. When I learned to quilt our instructor said all her quilts had to pass the 80 lb doberman test!
