睡前不能做的事情之七-跟寵物膩在一起Cuddle WithYour Pets

As a child, I always wanted to have my beloved pet chihuahua sleep in my (twin) bed. And then came the reality: it’s amazing how much space a 6 pound creature can take up, and how grumpy chihuahuas can be when you disturb their slumber.

我從小就想讓我的吉娃娃跟我一起睡。接著問題就來了：一個6磅重的家伙，占得空間一點也不小；而且，他們在睡覺的時候，萬一被打擾了，脾氣會相當暴躁。

The point is, sleeping with a pet in your bed can seriously disturb your sleep.

所以，關鍵點是：跟寵物一起睡覺的話，受到打擾的可是你。
