Ha, there certainly are a few late sleepers on this board, but then you all probably aren't in bed at 9 pm like we are either. I have two dogs each with a different outlook on when to get up. Tucker like me is an early riser. Hannah is the last one up. I used to make them both go out at the same time which meant waking Hannah and forcing her to go out. It was always a hassle. Hannah likes to control certain things about her life and when I finally allowed her to sleep in and get up when she wanted, it really helped our morning start out a bit better. After both have had their potty outing, they get their breakfast krunchies with a little warm water on them. Generally they go out again between 8 and 9 am. I pretty much let them decide, asking them if they want to go out. If they do, they will go to the door, if they don't they stay away from the door. From then on I just leave them be unless one or the other comes in to the office to ask me to let them out. They really are not ones for going out much during the day.
