Making Spike a “pet” has been the show writers’ way of avoiding awkwardness throughout the series. It started with him sleeping in a cat-basket at the foot of Twilight Sparkle’s bed in the library. Had he been given a regular bed, it would look like Twilight Sparkle was sharing her bedroom with a boy.
I wish something like this had happened in one of the EG specials or shorts. Hell, would’ve loved to see all 6 either experiencing the EG world, or their EG counterparts.
I wonder if we’ll also be getting some EG comics as part of the season 10 comics - if so, would love to see that happen.

IIRC, it was so they could have it not be awkward that Spike was staying with Twilight, and he could hide out in her backpack.
