My Eddie is the best alarm clock ever. I don't know how in the world she knows it's time to get up, but at 5:30 in the morning she wakes me up by getting in my face. If I don't get out of bed right away, she rubs up against me and then if I still don't get up she bites me, but not hard. At 5:30 in the morning nothing will get you out of bed faster than a bitten nose!

What else is weird is she knows when it's the weekend because of my husband's schedule. He works overnights, and somehow she knows that if he's there in the morning (which means he's off work) she doesn't have to get me up, because she doesn't bother me on the weekends. Lately, though, he's been working weekends, so he's not there, and at 5:30 on Saturday and Sunday she's there!

I've always wondered how she knew it was time. It's a little strange....
