Yay! He IS my dog! (Sera_J)

    LOL! Logan sounds like Sniper! Sniper will get upset if hubby and I don't head to bed around 10:30pm. She will sit there staring at us, head towards the stairs, look at us, go upstairs for 30 seconds, comes down a few steps, stares at us...like come on guys, it's bedtime! She will then sleep until around 6, sometimes 7am (occasionally will wake up in the middle of the night to ask to go out) goes out to pee and poop (hubby takes her, as I am NOT a morning person and am still snoozin' upstairs!) she prances back up the stairs and I sneak her into our bed until around 8:30 or 9am. She sleeps like the dead with me until I finally get my lazy butt out of bed!

     well the Bugs is definitely not a lazy dog - OK not a morning lazy dog.  He wakes early and once awake is READY for action.  Fortunately he was crate trained and now he sleeps in our family room and we baby gate the door.  He will wait there, absolutely quiet until you move the gate and then he grabs his two red rubber bones and scurries down the hall, bounds down the stairs and rolls around the living room, tail wagging body wiggling through all of it. Then he needs to go out and get the newspaper and "on" for the day

    However, since day one he loves to sleep in the evening.  We got him at about 14 weeks and right after his evening meal @ 5 pm he would crawl as far back as possible in his crate and sleep until we woke him up to go out about 10, then he would sleep to 6 am.  In the summer he is not as active in the day so he stays up later ( usually about 9 when he sacks out) but now that it has cooled off he toddles off to bed anytime after 6:30.  Usually he just waits until I finish cleaning up dinner and then he's gone.  I wake/bribe him about 9 to go out and he's good until whenever we get up, usually between 6-7am.

    Are mine lazy, well....um....they are mastiffsWink My husband gets up for work at 5:30, they go out to go potty and then it's back up to bed with mama until I have to get up at 7:00.  And at night it is so funny because if my husband and I are up past ten they start pacing and whining and staring at the stairs....I know they are thinking....come ON you two.....we are TIRED!

    Our dogs are quite good about going out too. They will usually wait until we're up.During the week ,it's 4:20 and on the weekends usually 8:30 or so. Ours too, will start pacing back and forth if it starts getting too late and it's past the usual time for bed. Creature of habit,I guess.

    Cairo is the laziest dog I know!  I actively try to get him up when I get up in the morning (usually 10ish if I'm home on break) and he refuses to budge.  If I try to pick him up, he relaxes all his muscles and just flops.

    Rascal does that too!!!!!!! I call it "Jello Dog." Fortunately he's small enough that I can scoop his lazy, dripping bones off of his pillow and forcibly haul him outside to do his business. He'll reluctantly empty himself, look for food, and if there is none, he'll run right back to (my) bed and hope I'll snooze with him a while longer. He's the perfect rainy day stay-in-bed-til-dinner kind of dog.

    I gotta say I have two lazy girls! Fe was always alert the minute I got up or the alarm went off. But Gracie and Trixie... man that's a whole different story! I have to carry Trix outside in order to get her to potty before I leave for work in the mornings... Gracie will go on her own if I go with her. And if we sleep in.... THEY sleep in too! I gotta say, I like the laziness of my doggies. It makes me happy on the weekends :)

    I love all these lazy doggies! ... and I hope Logan picks up the habbit even moreso! Maybe he'll develop a Rascal/Cairo/Mastiff-like bladder retention and we can really sleep in! :o)

    I love it when dogs tell you it's bed time.  This cracks me up for some reason.... very amusing!  I'm usually happy to oblige, I'm all about bedtime myself! :o)

    Snuggle your pooches for me tonight!

    Honey, I am sure Logan will develop a laziness habit with a mama who loves sleep as much as you do.  Big Smile  

    Ben will head to bed around 10, and DH is a morning person so he gets up about 7 to let Ben out and feed him.  After that I am pretty much free to sleep in as late as I like, Ben will mooch around the kitchen until I get up which is usually around 9 or so.  Then he'll move to the couch and go back to sleep until walk-time.

    I wish that I had lazy dogs.  I usually wake up around 5.  If I'm not out of bed by 5:15, the dogs are up & causing trouble.  Bevo will stand over me & smile in my face.

    They are "early to bed" dogs.  They are usually ready to go to bed by around 8 every night.

    • Gold Top Dog

     Because my dogs like to be up and at them by 6AM, if I stay up until 11PM watching TV, they too, start to pace, letting me know it is bed time, heaven forbid I don't drag out of bed until 6:30!Surprise

    • Gold Top Dog
    What is with all these early rising doggie? LOL

    Kate, you're lucky to have DH. ... although when I meet Mr. Right I hope he's not a morning person. Morning people, all happy and cheerful first thing in the monring... irritates me :o) ((mostly kidding))

    Amanda - LOL I have this awesome picture of Bevo "Wake up mom. Mom, wake up. Are you up yet mom? Mom. Wake up. MOM. WAKE UP. ... now? how about now? 'wake now?"

    Rexandbaby - all I can say to that is: UGH! .. *so* ugh! LOL 6:30? ... although I'd probably get a lot more done in my day!

    We all slept in til 8:30 this morning! :) And he's back asleep on my feet as i type this. And weimenhammers are 'hyper', huh? hehehehe

    Pofi is one bed lovin' dog.  He has been known, when it's cruddy, cold rainin' out, to not go out to potty for close to 16 hours.......granted not on any regular basis.  I wouldn't allow him to do that to himself, but he if it's just plain awful out and he goes to the door, checks it out and turns right around and heads to bed, who am I to force him!

    He puts himself to bed at night - doesn't usually feel like waiting for us and is usually the last one up in the morning.  He'll at least stay snuggling in bed until the last human gets up and goes downstairs - then I guess he worries he might miss something.  And after breakfast, if nothing's really happening right away like on a cold blustery Sunday morning like today, he'll head back with one of my shoes or slippers for company and nap till something happens.

    uh.. i think coco has all your pooches beat for world's laziest dog! lol Wink

     when she was younger, and still not 100% potty trained, my sister would take her out before she has to go to work at 9 am...

     CoCo would come over, bring over a stuffie to say hi to my sister, and leave the stuffie... going back to the far side of my king size bed...out of reach and plop back down to bed...as if to say... i aint going outside! take mister blue bear instead!

    the times when my sister did succeed in getting her up and out... coco would just stay on the deck and give my sister a look as to say... okay... you got me outside.. but i am NOT walking down those steps! and yes... my sister would have to pick up Cokes, put her on  the grass where CoCo would just squat right there and go.... then run back inside and climb under my blankets and go back to sleep!

    yeap... one lazy dog i have... lol now that she is 100% potty trained... she doesnt wake up to ask to go out till at least 12pm.... Stick out tongue just the way I like it.... lol

    but to be fair... she doesnt go to bed till at least 12 midnight though.

    Yep!  I gots me some lazy dawgs too.  Aspen will sleep with me as long as I'm in bed.  Grady will gladly stay in his crate until I'm ready to get up.  If I feel like it's getting too late for him, I'll get up & let the boys out.  They go do a yard check, poo, pee & come running back inside where we all climb back into bed & snuggle.  I have to say I have 2 world class spooners.  Snickers (my new foster) hasn't figured out the glory of a good snuggle yet.  I have faith that I can teach him that if nothing else.
