Niki sleeps in the bathroom (gated) on her bed. Littleman sleeps in bed with us. Every morning, about 7am, we wake to hear Nikki barking. It's like one bark every couple of minutes. I stir, then Littleman stirs. I go get Nikki and she is at her gate sitting completely still and stays still as a statue. I pick her up and she kisses me very gently. I keep holding her because if I put her down, she runs around like a banshee! Then I walk into the bedroom and Littleman begins pouncing his paws up and down on the bed. I say, "Wanna go outside?" and then off we go to potty. They run, play, investigate and when they are done, back in the house we go. For me, it's straight to the coffee pot while they fight over the dry food.
