But Hector didn't and he's SUCH a creature of habit. He doesn't want to go anywhere or do anything first thing in the morning, but he's used to somebody being up to be with him. So there we were, still in bed at 5:30 am, the nerve. Nobody needed to be anywhere and daughter off at a sleepover. Hector started his best Bobby Vinton impersonation. Somebody needs to send this boy some letters in the mail.

I can feel for you Midge. I would't be up reading this without the whine chorus. Abby starts just before 6 and I let them out. Ace then takes over at around 7 and insists that I get up and take them for a walk. We are retired and we never get to sleep in. LOL

OMG too funny....over at my place it's not Chicky that usually wakes me up but rather the cats...Daisy jumps from side to side over my head while Bernie crawls under the blankets and starts nibbling my toes! Once I start talking to the cats then Chicky's toe nails start the "click, click, click" over the tile floor as she starts gathering up the slippers/flip flops for the day!
I guess none of us get to sleep in, but that's what weekend afternoon snoozes are for!

Wow, am I ever lucky! Lakota won't come to wake me up until at least 10, any earlier and I have to get her up.

A cat that I used to have would come and lay on top of me and just wait until I woke up to feed him. If I had the misfortune to have slept on my back, he'd kneed his paws on top of my bladder. Not the best way to wake up, but in his eyes, a very effective way ti get some food into his dish.

We used to have Ranger as an alarm clock - 6:00 a.m. sharp - and I mean SHARP! I used to check the clock every day and I swear he could read it because he sleeps right by it so I thought maybe he was always watching the clock until it clicked on 6 and then felt that we had surely had enough sleep by then!! **hint** the alarm clock stopped waking me up at 6 when I cut the morning feeding and switched to once a day! now if i don't move - they don't move! even during the week when i get up, nobody moves a muscle until i come out dressed - it amazes me that they don't bat an eyelash as long as i'm in my robe, but the minute i come out dressed, everyone jumps up and heads for the back door! then comes in and heads for the treat jar!

Our pack is like Gigi, although they weren't always. I remember Bailey getting up at around 5am when we first brought him home 6 years ago. But now that most of them are seniors, they like to sleep in. We do often have a camper that likes the wee hours, our guys just look at them as if to say "What, you're getting up NOW"? I have to sneak quietly out of the room with the camper, or I get some pretty snarky stinkeye aimed at me lol! Here's a girlie that Hector would get along greyt with: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6H2JvN5vKY
