He wakes me up, every night without fail....
and don't even start with Annable my cat who use to wake me up at 5 so I could watch her eat her breakfast.
My dogs seem to have no sense of time. It’s always time to get up and eat, it’s always time to go outside and chase whatever might come near the yard, it’s always time to get petted or brushed, etc.
I blame myself. I wake up any time of the day or night myself.
If I come back for something five minutes after I’ve left, though, they don’t greet me. They know I’m leaving again. And they know when I’m going “out” by how I dress (if I put on makeup, I’m leaving).
They are wonderful dogs, though...The mastiff acts sort of like a cat—you know how cats always hesitate half in or half out of the door? The mastiff does that. Also rubs against me, like a cat.
He may know when Friday is, though—that’s the morning I don’t eat meat at breakfast. Instead, he knows it will be a tuna sandwich for him, or grilled cheese, or even shrimp, and those are his favorite foods.
