Kaos is the same way!!

Mina lays in my lap in the morning,until one of the other dogs is ready to go out. This morning I got up early,tucked her in and she slept in our bed alone for about 30min,then moved to my lap.
She and I are NOT morning people.

Brutus is a good sleeper, we got to bed about 10pm during the week, and when my alarm goes off at 5 am, he gets up and starts licking my face. I am no longer able to hit snooze, because once he wakes up he needs to go potty- like now! I have set off the house alarm a few times by trying to get him outside ASAP - my husband loves it when that happens. lol. After potty he eats breakfast and then goes to his doggy bed. A pretty decent schedule, imo for such a young dog.

hugz4all4 · 10-07-2011, 05:56 AM

if Im in bed, so are they. Mine sleep in a crate next to my bed and as soon as I get up in the a.m, which is 530ish to get the kiddos ready for school on the week days and about 830/9 on the weekends, they whine to wanna come out.

.. MY elder Sheltie starts whining to go out as soon as he hears someon, so usually my hubby lets him out in the a.m on weekdays, the kids on the weekend.. so I guess I have them pretty much trained to my schedule..

Sadie and Scooter will sleep as long as I want to but Thor and Little bit are up at dawn wanting to go out and eat. I get up early with the girls to get them off to school. Sadie and Scooter will climb back in their little beds and Thor and Little bit commense to tearing the house apart. It was so cute yesterday, I was on the computer working and Scooter kept coming and scratching on my leg, I finally got up and followed him and he led me right to the living room where Little Bit was tearing up a book. Scooter told on him lol

That is awesome! haha

It depends. Geno will sleep in during the weekends when we're off work or any days that we are off of work. When we have to get up early, he enjoys running amok around 4am and waking us up. Little bad baby! But then he gives his mommy kisses and says me sorry but i'm hyper. Then i'm like tehehe I love you! We call him our little sour patch kid cause first he's sour, then he's sweet

yorkietalkjilly · 10-07-2011, 07:53 AM

Tibbe usually sleeps in if I do but he goes to bed about the same time each night - between 9 - 10 p.m., no matter when I do. Even if I stay up late, though Tibbe is with me, he's usually counting sheep most of the time if it is after 10 p.m.

chachi · 10-07-2011, 08:23 AM

Ours do what we do and we are early risers. They know thats when they get their breakfast also

kdhawks · 10-07-2011, 08:37 AM

Levi is 100% an early riser. We used to get up at 6:30 AM every day, and he would be licking my face at 6:25 every morning to go potty and have breakfast. We've recently have a schedule change, and I have to wake up at 5:30 AM most days. Levi is loving this.

He now wants to get up at 5:30 every single day.

I tell everyone that when you're that happy to be alive, you want your day to start as early as possible.

maci_mace · 10-07-2011, 08:41 AM

Maci will sleep ALL day lol unless we go outside, then she could go on a walk all day long she loves being outside. She will play with a squeak toy every once in awhile... but mostly she loves to curl up with me when I'm on the computer and sleep haha. No wonder she's so tubby!!

margaritaville · 10-07-2011, 01:46 PM

I have one of each. Bubba is an early riser. He starts moving around about 5:45a, which is the time I get up on work days but he thinks I should work every day and wants to get up. Sissy will stay under the blankets until I get out of bed.

kkephart · 10-07-2011, 02:06 PM

Oliver is a sleeper just like his mama! He sleeps as long as I sleep... I love it! If I have to get up early for work he actually huffs at me when I get him up to go outside! Sometimes if I have a really early meeting I actually go to the hospital (its 2 minutes from my house) attend the meeting and go back home...to find my Oliver still suggled in his bed in my room... hasn't even moved!

RoxyLuv · 10-07-2011, 02:48 PM

Roxy definitely wants to sleep in. Just up for potty outside, then back to sleep... unless someone is up & showing any signs of going somewhere, then she'll stay awake or partly awake just in case she gets to go too. Her morning nap favorite spot is up on the top of the back of a recliner.

Thor Kent · 10-07-2011, 03:09 PM

Oh I long for the day I can sleep past 4:45 or 5:00. Thor is an early riser and shows no mercy
