Does your dog have a "bedtime"?

My puggle wakes up every morning at 6:00 am on the nose and will get up at 8:55 pm from whatever he is doing and go into bed. It's hysterical!

Oh that is too funny!

Our dogs go to bed with us. Usually they are up before me though.

Usually when DH &/or I go to bed, he knows its time and up he goes onto the bed! Sometimes when he is really tired he beats us in there and claims his spot.

Re: Does your dog have a "bedtime"?

Well I loved it before he was 112 pounds!!!
We have a Queen sized bed and unless he lies in between us verically, I have a horrible nights sleep! When he turns and lies horizontally with his head across my back or legs, or lies all sprawled out, we are doomed for the night! LOL
Yet, when we go to bed and he is asleep in the living room, what do we do? "Come on Brody! Bedtime!" Its our own fault! LOL
He was so cute as a puppy he wou;ld crawl up and sleep with his neck across my neck. Now if he tries it he will asphyxiate me.

She will go to bed all by herself at about midnight unless we go to bed earlier then she will follow us to bed. The morning she is worse then we are with getting up

Brutus comes to bed with us ( usually around 10PM during the week ) and will whine until we let him in between us.

This is going to sound really strange but I swear it is true. All week DH takes him to work, so he just calls and Brutus will jump out of bed and run down the stairs to go. *BUT* if it is on a weekend, Brutus will lift his head, see that I am still in bed and he REFUSES to get up! It is like he KNOWS that he can sleep longer bc I don't have work!

Barney usually always goes to bed when we go to bed...around 10pm. He wakes up at 5 when my husband gets up to get ready for work and when he leaves Barney goes back to bed with me. Not sure when he wakes up because when I leave at 6:15a, he is still sleeping!

Re: Does your dog have a "bedtime"?

Our dogs come up to bed withus when we come up to bed. But if we are up later, like on the weekend, my baby girl gets antsy and keeps looking up the stairs to let us know she wants to go up to bed. I love it!

Re: Does your dog have a "bedtime"?

He passes out on the couch around 9-10 but its not a deep sleep - he'll jump at any time.

Then he goes to bed with me, and then when DH gets home in the AM he goes and sleeps with him again!

Bullys sleep alot!

Re: Does your dog have a "bedtime"?

He knows exactly when it is meal time. Bed time can be more vague.

Re: Does your dog have a "bedtime"?

as soon as I get into bed, they both go under the covers.. I have the best spooners in the world!!!

Re: Does your dog have a "bedtime"?

She waits for us to go to bed...she is the best alarm clock though...if we aren't up by 6 a.m., she is right there licking me and poking me to get up.

Re: Does your dog have a "bedtime"?

She is ALWAYS sleeping!

Re: Does your dog have a "bedtime"?

we are very lucky - Murray has really adjusted to our schedule. He comes in the bedroom when we go to bed and will stay quiet the whole night until one of us wakes up

eta - murray isnt allowed on the bed so he usually sleeps in his bed on the floor or in his cage where its cooler if he wants.

When the alarm goes off in the morning he thinks the alarm is for him and will get up. If no alarm goes off he usually wakes DH up between 7am - 8am.

At night whenever we say "time for bed" he'll follow us to bed.

Re: Does your dog have a "bedtime"?

11pm he is out like a light
but he is barking at 5am to be fed...that is when the alarm went off now I changed the alarm to 6am and he was still up at 5 but i ignored the barks he got the hint and got up at 6

peanut sleeps most of the day. at night i usually go to to bed earlier, so he sleeps on the couch with dh. then dh comes to bed between 11 and 2 and he brings peanut with him. if dh goes toward the bedroom door, peanut is his shadow. in the morning i leave earlier than dh, so peanut wakes up and then goes back to sleep since dh is still there. dh left before me this morning and had no clue what was going on. he couldn't fall back asleep he was waiting for dh to come back to bed.
