Since I have a housefull, everything is exagerrated..If my computer screen goes black it MUST mean it is bedtime. No matter the time of day. Skylar is smarter so she doesn't get all worked up til she hears the sound from the computer actually going off. I always take ice water to bed, so that means alert! Mommie is gonna go soon. I make special treats for them and they all sleep together in an Xpen. Set up that pen, and you have a fight from them to get inside. They run in and start barking for their treats. They get them and when the light is turned off, they are quiet as mice til next morning. They are the alarm clock here...they bark, we get up. We come down and everyone is taken out on the deck. One parent takes the pen down, moves the wee pads, and fixes breakfast...We are tired jut about the time they are ready to start the morning playtime!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!! |
Our girls usually take a quick nap from 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. & then we walk them for a solid hour from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. They get their nightly grooming & enjoy a 20 minute chew time! Kodah then runs to her bed & she is OUT around 10:00 p.m. Stormy paces - can't seem to find just the right place to pass out, but usually is out (under the loveseat or at my feet) about 10:45. When hubby & I head back for bed around 11:15 or 11:30 I scoop them up & carry them back to their playpen (beside our bed) & they are there until 6:45 a.m. Stormy still gets up once during the night, but goes back to sleep pretty quick. Kodah sleeps a couple of hours longer than Stormy in the morning. Storm is one bouncy girl in the morning - Kodah is a deadhead! When Kodah finally gets up, she can't even finish her business outside before Stormy takes her down! They are such fun to watch - I definitely love having two!! |
We have a routine also!!! Everymorning, my hubby's alarm goes off and I wake up too. We lay there and rub his belly and cuddle with him. Then Ray goes and gets ready for work. I try to wake Luig up and he usually just lays there!!! So cute!!! Then he slowly gets up and stretches and usually tumbles back over to try to sleep again!!! But then I poke at him til he gets up AGAIN!!! So then I pick him up and take him out to do his business!!! He slowly makes his way back to bed and falls back asleep!!! hehe!! So- on days I can go back to bed for a while- I do too and we sleep til 10 or so. But on days I have to be at work early, then I start to get ready and he usually comes into the bathroom too!!! And that is where he eats his breakfast!! Bedtime- he usually keeeps going to the bedroom and looking back to see if we too are going to bed!!!! Sometimes he gets a burst of energy!!! But as soon as lights are out so is he!!!! |
I guess they are just like children...they have their routines too! At night - we typically fall asleep watching TV. Once I get up, take him outside (I should say carry him outside because he is SO lazy) to have him go pee. He will then walk back into the house and will go on his bed in our room. In the morning (if he is not whimpering like a little baby first), the alarm goes off, he runs to my side of the bed and starts crying for me to pick him up. I do, put him in the bed and he licks my husband and I to death! Then I rub his belly and it is time to go out and go potty!!! :) |
Gwen sleeps with us at night, but not without getting her belly rub first. In the morning between 6 and 7 I wake to her licking my face and pulling my hair like hey I have to go the bathroom. She's so funny she cracks me up. |
My darling Gracie (RIP) had bedtime rituals! She had her whole little routine and made us laugh every night and morning! Gosh I miss her so! Lexy won't settle down when she is in our bed! She wants to play rough! I'm hoping when she grows up whe will want to sleep with us! |
Please don't have me committed for telling you this lol I rock my furbabies like infants and sing to them. Then I kiss them all and tell them sweet dreams. Angel then sleeps at the foot of my bed, while prince curls up with me in the spooning position lol. The puppies are only 7 weeks old so they still sleep on the floor..........for now lol |
Awwwww that's sooooo sweet! I forgot to mention that to drown out the sounds of living in an apartment I play a baby lullaby cd all night for Simon and Hallie! So if you are gonna be committed so am I ;) Do you think we could take them with us? |
Can you imagine how many people would love to re-incarnate as YT's mom's and daddie's babies?? I always rock mine or walk around with one or two and sway like w moms do with our precious human babies. They are so human-like that it is had to remember they are furbabies..That is yet another thing I love about these critters. Make that number, oh maybe, 203 in the list of things I love about them...LOL |
Well in our house... Gracie decides when EVERYONE goes to bed. She plays until about 10pm then goes into the bedroom and hops in bed. If we don't follow, she comes out to get us. She just sits and looks at us as if we are too stupid to figure out that it is time to go to bed. If we don't follow the second time, she will come out again and sit, back up toward the bedroom and make noises. That is when we get up and go to bed. Who is the boss you ask? |
I'm definetly not a morning person. I awake to Zoey stratching my face, I usually step in poop, and trip over her trying to get to the bathroom. Drink my coffee, get dressed and it's time to care for 14 dogs. That's my whole day. ;) |
After Maggie has her evening meal (around 5) she knows it will soon be time to go outside (off leash in our fenced yard), to play with the big dogs. She will run and run, until she is poopy tuckered out. We then go back inside and have a small treat. She gets up on my lap to get brushed, and then crashes out (around 9PM). I then carry her to bed, with a light kiss on her little head. She wakes up the next morning around 7. I get up during the night and then for good at 5. She just rolls over until I convince her it's time to get up. Then the day starts all over. It's amazing how they get use to a routine. |
Gucci's routine well is not exactly one. She is pee pad train so she goes on her own when she needs to go potty. I have dry kibble out all day for her to free feed. Around lunch or dinner depends if she has finish all the dry kibble I gave her some Natural Balance Meat rolls pieces. I was giving it to her twice a day but she started getting to plump so now I alternate. When she wants to sleep she goes to her bed that is located by the feet of our bed or she climbs to our bed. I feel like such a bad mommy cause everyone has a routine and I dont. SO far this way has work for us, but sometimes I wonder if a set routine will be better for her. :rolleyes: |
Chachi and Jewels usually fall asleep on the couch. Then they head up to bed with us about ten oclock. Jewels wakes up about 5:30 and Chachi wakes up when we do. |
