I have been very lucky with Misfit. Im home all the time, when i first found her, she wanted out at 5-6am, im sorry, i do not want to wake up before 9.... she has conformed to my habits, she may wake me around 9am to go out, she knocks on the door and whines to come in around 9:30, i usually get to sleep in till 9:30-10, somtimes 11 and noon.... She wakes me up, and gives me about 30 minutes in the morning laying next to me before she decides she wants her morning walk, then there is no stopping her whines, barks, dances and prances.
