Revision:
OKAY, the dog can sleep alongside you, but he's not allowed under the covers or with his head on the pillow
Revision:
OKAY, the dog can sleep alongside you, under the covers, with his head on the pillow, but if he snores, he's got to leave the room.
Final Rule:
OKAY, the dog can sleep and snore but he's not to come in and sleep on the couch in the TV room, where you are now sleeping. That's just cruel to human beings.
