Is your dog a morning dog?

[Dogs6]

I get up at about six thirty and then spend 10 mins poking the dogs awake so I think that i can safely say that they are not morning dogs lol

steve is. and oh good lord is he. i'm trying to clue him in that we don't get up until the alarm goes off, but it's not working.

the other two, not so much.

Orson? Nope. He can sleep and sleep and sleep as long as he's warm and comfy. We normally get up by 6 am (through the week for work/school) and that dog will sleep in until 8 am if nobody MAKES him come down! 8am is breakfast.........so actually, it's hard telling how long he'd stay in bed if I'd serve him there!

Phoebe is a "get up whenever you guys are up" kind of girl She doesn't wake us, but when she hears signs of life, she is happy to get up and join in.

Boomer and Kassie used to be early birds, up at 5 am, saying "come on, we need to go potty". Now it's not so bad, though I'm an morning person so I'm up before they are and they usually are ready to go out at around 7am.

Tilly, on the other hand, is the opposite of Kassie and Boomer. We adopted her when she was 6yrs old. The first months she was here and we were up at 6am to go out to potty, she's lift her head from the bed all drowsy, and I could tell she was thinking "what the heck! you want me to get up now?" lol. She's happy staying in bed till 8am if I'd let her.

Maya is a morning dog during the week. I haven't needed the alarm clock in the almost 2 years we have had her. She is consistently up at 7 (6 since the time change ) and I get a wet nose to my face. But....on the weekends, if we stay up past her bedtime and don't go to sleep until one or two am, she will sleep all day!

Morgan is not really a morning dog. He will get up when I do in the morning (~5:30am), because I feed him breakfast first thing when I get downstairs. After breakfast and potty, though, he goes back upstairs to bed.

Teagan is as well "I will get up whenever you get up" kinnda dog! She does whine to be let out in the morning, but its never a constant time every day. And as soon as I take her outside she is ready to go back to bed if I want too.

When i am at my parents they usually keep Teagan after I go to bed but to play with their "granddaughter' she always after an hour is whinning at my door to come back into bed with me. Shes a mamas girl.

Bailey gets up when I do. Sometimes he'll magically know when I'm just barely awake (though still unmoving), and pop up to say hi!

I would be very sad if I had an early morning dog. Loss of sleep is one of my bigger concerns when thinking about having kids, lol.

Nope, Jenna could sleep all day if we let her. And she does mostly.
