Our routine is the pretty much the same every morning too!

I am always the first out of bed, usually around 6 am. As soon as I'm up, every dog gets up (they all four sleep on the floor in our bedroom). Everyone goes out for their potty break, then come back in for breakfast, although Honey is usually fed outside on the deck so she doesn't have to compete for her food (the others are chow hounds). The kitties just swap places. One usually spends the night outside and one inside (their choice, not mine), and since they are "free fed", there isn't a big deal about feeding them, but Butter always wants to share breakfast with Helen!!!
