During the week, my alarm is set for 6:15, so the girls usually wake me up between 5:45 and 6:00 :) On the weekends, it deends how much excercise they got the day before...if we weren't home enough, they wake me up just as early. If they are nice and tired, they may let me sleep til 8 or 9 before they want breakfast...last night we got home about 3 am ( cause of the haunted house) and they were nice enough to let mommy sleep til 8:30 :)
Bella is a sleepyhead! She'll stay asleep as long as I stay asleep. Even when the cats start trying to wake me up, she gives them a look like "don't you have something else to do" and rolls right over. ;)Quote:

Most the time they all sleep in until I do. But sometimes they get up around 7:30 a.m.
Which time?? Usually around 3am they get me up and then when I get up at 6am and occasionally around midnight. But with Mike working 2nd now, I usually let them out about 8pm and then Mike lets them out when he gets home and then they seem ok until I get up.
When my boy Quincey was alive he would jump on the bed at about 6am. Their is NO better alarm clock than a 115 pound hungry Doberman!
Now Callihan lets us sleep in until 6:15am. That is SO nice of him!
With my two, I never know what time I'm going to be woken up! Before we got Destiny, Dakota was pretty good at only waking us up when she really had to go and sometimes it was after she went, well pee. But to poop, she always would wake us up when she couldn't hold it any more. Other than those instances, Dakota was really good at letting us sleep. But, now that we got Destiny, I've been up several times the last couple of nights. Dakota tried to sleep with us the first night causing me to have no room in the bed and wake up from being uncomfortable. After taking them out and trying to settle them down, Brian finally shut them out of our room so that we could get some rest, without having both of them trying to sleep on our bed. Then Saturday night, they both did pretty good, but they did wake me up to do a potty break in the middle of the night. Due to not settling back down, I shut them out of our room for the rest of the evening. However, Destiny got away with a lot last night. She decided she was going to sleep with us but woke me up at 2 am and again at 5 am. I took them out at 2 am, but Brian took care of the 5 am run. I am always so happy when he helps me in the middle of the night. It gets tiring after a while having to get up with them several times a night now that I have a job too! I'm really hoping that after the first week or two, the two of them will go back to the schedule that we had with Dakota, JUST wake us up if you have to go out. We're happy about that because then we don't have to clean it up when we get up. Other than those instances, leave us to sleep (generally speaking)!
Lately Kia has been waking me up around 3 a.m. but not because she wants out but because she is crying in her sleep. I'll stay up and pet her until she calms down and then I'll go back to sleep.
Normally the alarm goes off at 7 a.m. and she'll steal my spot on the bed when I head off to shower. (I warmed it up just for her. ;) Or so she thinks. :p :rolleyes: )
She won't budge and I have to coax her to get her to go outside for her morning duty.
LOL! Dakota does the same thing, that is, if she wakes up and comes in our room when I get up. Lately she's been sleeping on her bed in the living room (or on the chair or love seat) so she doesn't even move when we get up until we make her go out to go potty before we leave for work! Of course, all of that only stands if she wants to sleep, if she wants to be up, she'll wake us up before we're ready just as I said in my last post on this thread!Quote:

We're suckers....we tried to crate train Riely when we got her, but she would just bark for 5 hours straight...and we got no sleep...and we have neighbors in close proximity...for our own sanity...we let her sleep on the end of the bed...but usually she finds it more comfy under the bed or on the floor somewhere...
Riely has her own doggie bed on the floor of our room (which i spent all my Vegas winnings on)....usually she hangs out on the end of the bed for a lil while and then goes to sleep on a pile of clothes or under the bed...and shes usually in the dog bed when Jason wakes up....
and we keep Buddha on the bed with us...we keep him on the bed because he wont pee/poo up there...he's pretty good about sleeping through the night, but he'll whimper if he really has to go...
in the morning when Jason leaves, he takes them out potty and they come up and snuggle next to me...usually one on each side...and then i get up and get ready...they're almost always still sleeping on the bed until I have to go to work....i usually have to physically pick Buddha's tubby lil butt up (30 lbs already at 14weeks!) and carry him to the door to go potty one more time before I leave....and then he goes in the kennel...and Riely gets the run of the house...
Riely went to Planet Pooch today for a playday....she LOOOVES that place...she dragged me to the car..."daddy" is gonna pick her up...and she'll be a big tired lump of fur all night....and Buddha has his first Puppy Kindergarten class tonight....in about 2.5 hours....
