We have the opposite prob here. When I have to get up early, Luig still wants to stay in bed and sleep.!!!! He is not a morning dog. Like me- I hate getting up too early. I have to bring his food into the bedroom with us, to entice him, then he;ll get up. But he has to stretch every part ofhis little body before he eats!!! He loves his sleep!!!! We usually go to bed around 11 pm, and its nothiong for him to sleep in til noon hte next day if he could!!!! He's sooo wierd!!!
