Loki gets up early, but if he gets up REALLY early it's just to pee and it's back to bed. Some vets seem to think all dogs are alike. Loki can't hold it more than 6 or 7 hours, even at night and he's a year old. If I do get up with him (if it's not too early) we play for a little while and he's ready for a nap within 20 mins. I don't let him nap after 7pm (well I try) and if he is up WAY too early and won't go back to sleep he has to go in his cage and not back to bed with us because he will jump off the bed and cry for me to get up. Sometimes he will snuggle and chew a bone and wait for me to wake up.
Also, try doggie daycare. Not every day, just like once a week or every 2 weeks. Loki gets so worn out and is so tired for like a week after. It's awesome. |
