DOes you dog wake you up in the morning to go out?

• RupsMom Posted : 12/5/2006 2:25:24 PM Rupert will only wake me up if it is an emergency.  Weekdays I'm up by 7am, weekends it's whenever..but he pretty much waits till someone gets up, and then lets you know he needs to go out. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ashland Posted : 12/5/2006 2:47:31 PM Ash used to wake me up to go potty when she was a puppy. Now she waits until I'm up. Even if she's just laying in the bed awake, she'll wait until I'm awake to go potty. Sometimes I feel bad about it too. []  I would hate to have to wait for someone to get up to go to the bathroom! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sharismom Posted : 12/5/2006 3:00:34 PM Shari got me up at 5:00 a.m. for her morning walk and business for years.  Towards the end of her life, I was the one waking her up.  After she died, my boy cat decided it was his duty to wake me up every morning at 5:00 a.m. - I guess he was used to getting fed after Shari and I got back from our walk.  He sits on my nightstand and starts out with a simple meow or "kitty chatter" which progresses to a few thumps on my head with his paw if I don't get up right away.    Now that I have Bear, I'm getting back into the 5:00 a.m. walk routine, and he's starting to grasp that it's okay to wake me up at that time to go. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• houndlove Posted : 12/5/2006 3:04:44 PM Large dogs = large bladders = halleluja!    We here at the House of Hounds all enjoy our beauty sleep.  Eventually if it starts to get too late, the dogs will stir just from being bored and lonely (and in Marlowe's case, ravenously hungry, which he seems to be about 23 hours out of every day), but if I can get them both to settle in bed with us, we can get another couple hours at least. Our usual wake up time on the weekdays (7 AM or thereabouts) is most certainly much earlier than they'd prefer to be awake. Forklifts are occaisionally needed to get them up. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• zsrg;lb ksr'pfjsoprej dfsg;va bjpskopa] Posted : 12/5/2006 5:22:57 PM Rory has always pretty much slept through the night. I've never had to take her water dish away or anything, she's pretty good about drinking in moderation. On the weekdays when we get up at 7:30 I have to drag her outside. On the weekends she usually wakes me up cause I sleep in! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Stella K. Posted : 12/5/2006 5:34:59 PM No, Stanley wakes me or DH up at 8 a.m. to be fed and goes right back to sleep after he eats. Too grouchy to go out! Then he'll get up at 10 a.m. or so if we're still asleep and will want to be walked. But in his denfese, there are nights that he gets 4 a.m. walk (usually w/ DH) and his last walk is usually around or past midnight. We're a bunch of night owls [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Truley Posted : 12/5/2006 8:48:17 PM What is an alarm clock? Ohhhh, you mean those fuzzy feline things?   I have not slept past 6am for the last couple of years, my cats do not recognize weekends, holidays, sickness, tiredness, drunkenness, vacations or late nights out with the girls. They are to be fed and I mean food in their dish and waiting at 6am on the dot. If not I am subject to pulled hair, claws on my behind or whatever appendage I value that is sticking out in plain sight. I have had long furry tails dragged across my face, been screamed at and generally pestered to get up and feed them. If one does not get the job done, the second joins in, and I swear they take turns. And now the pup joins in, he at least is polite enough to let ME go potty first.   Dawn 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• seashell Posted : 12/5/2006 11:41:50 PM My dog wakes up my husband, not me. As soon as she is done going out she steals my husband's spot in bed.  She isn't allowed to sleep in bed with us all not, even thoug I would like it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• bluelighting Posted : 12/6/2006 12:23:34 AM Blue doesn't wake me up he goes potty around 6 or 6:30am when my brother gets home and goes back out to go potty around 7:30am to 9:00am during the week when I get up. Now when the weekends come around I sleep in till whenever and doesn't matter if my mom is up he wont ask to go potty until I'm up or my brother. Which when I'm about to get up he will get down and put his head on the bed then stare at me. He has waken me up a few times by howling to my alarm clocks since I'm a very heavy sleeper that usually wakes me up if they have been on for a very long time. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Stephanie Book Posted : 12/6/2006 1:03:34 AM I used to get woken up to take the puppy out when she was younger, but I taught her to sleep in until I get up, and if it's too early I let her out and then go back to sleep. If I have to get up before 8am, then it's the alarm clock waking them up, but if it's getting too late they sometimes paw or whine to go out. Sometimes I'm able to get some more sleep by getting Cassidy up on the bed to sleep with me, then she sleeps till I get up. They will sleep until 9 or later if I do, but it may have something to do with them going out around Midnight, that's when I normally get to bed.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
