Ok... gotcha... well, I mean do you tell them no. Meka sometimes gets up at tries to jump on my bed, but I tell her no, night-night time (lol) and she goes back to her bed and waits until the fam gets up. She has access to water and her pad during the night... but she has two feedings, one for breakfast and one for dinner and nowhere in between except for snacks or a treat for doing good... so I guess Im a little confused on why they do that
