I am so lucky, I rise very early also, carry Lola downstairs and put her back in a bed in the kitchen where she snoozes for an hour or so,when she is ready she heads to the door and rings the bell, so nice that she is not one that has to go the moment her feet hit the floor, OK sorry I just had this need to brag feeling overtake my typing fingers
On the flip side that's how I potty, when the feeling comes on, I am running through the house and can not waste a min.
