Lately Kia has been waking me up around 3 a.m. but not because she wants out but because she is crying in her sleep. I'll stay up and pet her until she calms down and then I'll go back to sleep.

Normally the alarm goes off at 7 a.m. and she'll steal my spot on the bed when I head off to shower. (I warmed it up just for her. Or so she thinks. )

She won't budge and I have to coax her to get her to go outside for her morning duty.
