It dawned on me the other day, after all this time, that Cody gets up when my alarm rings! I get up really early and the second my feet hit the ground, he's up 99% of the time. On weekends if I sleep late, he never budges. If I set the alarm to get up, he gets up! If I can only train him to shut the alarm off so I can sleep and blame it on the dog! In my dog loving office, they'd believe it! I just love hearing about their habits!!!! Rachel. I do the same thing! "Go poop and I'll give you a cookie!" Yeah! Food works!
