Cali likes to get up early and eat while I like to sleep in. We have worked this out by using an automatic feeder (I think it is for cats actually). When we go to bed at night I set it up and the feeder door flips open at what ever time I set it for -- Cali goes a head and eats then gets back in bed to sleep for another hour until I get up. She also knows I don't move until the alarm rings.
Usually I don't even hear the door flip open and that she goes to eat until she gets back in bed and snuggled up close to me. Geeze, I think I have the perfect dog
