I swear my babies have internal clocks! All 4 of them wake up early on the weekdays because they know I will be going to work. So by 7:00 AM, everybody is up and running! Thankfully on the weekends, as long as I sleep in, they are right there in bed with me!
Jazzy and Mickey (my dogs) will sometimes wake me up on the weekend, to go potty outside. But that is a simple, stumble outside to our fenced in yard and watch & wait for a few minutes for them to do their business. Then we all go back to bed and sleep. As long as I stay in bed, they do also. If I am home from work sick, they also are right there next to me.
I think a lot of it has to do with their environment and what they are used to. As long as I let the dogs out to potty when the need arises, all my furbabies are happy to snuggle in bed until I get up for the day. My youngest baby (4.5 month old Yorkie) will sometimes get crazy when everyone is sleeping,so then she goes in the pet bedroom. And she is quite content there running and playing, snacking etc. |
