Have you done the 4am dash?

[yorkie mad]

It doesn't happen often but occasionally, last night in fact, Tia wanted to toilet at 4am. She sleeps in our room but not in the bed , she makes little whimpering noises(its so cute. even at 4am)to let me know she is bursting to go out.Its a good job Im a light sleeper, hubby wouldn't hear a brass band coming through the room.I get up and she waits for me to call her and then she runs like the clappers down the stairs and to the door. As I said it happens very rarely but when she needs to go , she needs to go lol She had 2 poops and 3 wee wees Im not complaining as I get up during the night sometimes and she stays put.
Anyone else do the am dash too?

[poppys mummy]

this does not happen to us , poppy sleeps in our bed but in the night she has wee wee pads down , she uses that , its funny she would not go near them during the day , she will only do her stuff outside , i suppose its like having a child still in nappies at night lol

Lola's pretty good to hold it all night and do a big one in the morning.
I do take her out sometimes around 2 am if I am up just for the heck of it. lol

Every once in a while Zoe will have to go during the night as well. It doesn't happen often, usually when she's starting to not feel well. Which then results in her not sleeping with us because she can't hold it in when she's sick.

Every morning at 5:30, take Joey out. Then back to bed for 1-2 hours.

Sure hopes he changes that habit!

Perhaps thats what it was last night with Tia then , she hasn't had much to eat today.

When I was housebreaking Motley I would take him out at 12, 3, and then take him out first thing at 6. My husband always told me I was asking for trouble by getting him in that routine....but now that he's 14 months he goes out at 12 we come in and go to bed and he sleeps all nite. First thing at 6 when he hears the alarm he runs and jumps off the bed and is waiting at the front door running circles trying to get me to hurry.

lol I like the circles bit Tia does that when she wants me to throw her ball. Yeah normal bedtime routine for us is 10pm and then up at 7.30, unless of course its a 4am dash night lol

Every morning at about 4:00 or 4:30, usually its the 5 month old. Then we go to bed for an hour or so. I get up and ready for work, she lays in bed and watches me...what a little stinker.

Don't you just love those morning cuddles

[MaddiesMommie]

Oh Yes! Even though I'm a little jealous she gets to sleep in while I drag myself to work. LOL

Haven't had to that in a few months. Fancy holds it all night and then goes number one and two around between 5 - 6 am. I let her go out before bed around 11 - midnight though.
