Smudge wil let me sleep for as long as I want if it's just him and me. Winter on the other hand will usually wake me up between 8:30 and 9:30 on the weekends and 6:30 and 7:30 during the week...it's hard to sleep when you have a boarder collie jumping on and off the bedand because she's doing it Smudge will usually get up and start doing the same thing or sit at the door and stare at me until I do get up.
