Nice, they are about in a few different adverts, I spot them every now and again.
My furry alarm clock

Mine are the opposite! They will snuggle and cuddle with me till noon, and it is hard to get up and leave the bed with all that "furry love" sleeping there!
Sounds like Cody is just what you need to get you to class on time!

How old is Cody? Under a year? Even my 2 1/2 year old is content to stay in bed late. And if the weather is rainy or cold, I have to drag their little curly butts out the door. The 2 year old malinois is another story, but she's hubby's dog, so that's his problem. :p

Cody is 3 years old. Once or twice a week, he will sleep in, but I think it's a combination of the amount of exercise he gets (and the time) and things going on outside. We go for a few long walks everyday, but I also take him to the tennis courts in the evenings when no one is using them because that is the only place that he can run off leash (they are gated). I chase him, he chases me, it's lots of fun. On the weekends I take him really late at night because that's the only time they are empty and we play chase for about an hour or more. He will sleep in the next day unless he hears people outside or lawnmowers in the mornings. Even then, though, sometimes he will come back to sleep after checking things out.

Great story!!! And a great alarm!! hahaha
The B's here are not so active in the morning, when we're sailing, Kas walks them about 6 o clock and the jump into bed with me… Buana won't come out before 11 o clock... only when you PULL him out.. hahaha

Crystal, sounds like Cody is a one off for being alert in the mornings.
I think my Benji would have stayed in bed all day if he could have. He was very active on walks but seemed to conserve energy whilst in the house. He hated to be woken up, just like me, lol.
What a good idea to exercise him in tennis courts. -
Great story - my 1st basenji was a sleep as late as possible type; my 2nd basenji would get up around 7 every day; my current basenji gets up as soon as we hear the birds outside the window (4:30 some mornings :(). But none of them do the antics Cody does.

That is a sweet story, thank you for sharing..My Otis wakes me up at about 6:30-7 am but I think that is because the alarm goes off, I snooze, but he thinks it is truly time to get up. If i ignore him he will start his only howl/sound I have ever heard him make and it will get louder the longer I ignore him. So needless to say we are up no later than 7 with Otis…weekends or not..

I used to always have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. I would want to sleep as late as possible, usually getting out by 8-9am. Ever since I got my B, I've been up by 6:30-7am every morning, and now it's simply 2nd nature.
Once my alarm goes off he is up and ready to go. Usually rooing and digging his paws into my back. Funny how it works.

That's the exact opposite with my resident and so far our past 4 fosters. Whoever gets up first can get ready in complete peace. No one staring at you when you eat your cereal. Nothing. They do not get out of bed until I make them. I think Dash is hoping I will forget about him and leave him in bed under the covers.

That would be nice, getting ready in the mornings in peace. I even have to leave the bathroom door open while I'm showering, because if not, he will try to wake my roommate up. But when he actually walks into the bathroom and I peek around the shower curtain, he looks so worried as he tilts his head to the side, like "oh no, she's in the place with all the water!" Then he runs out. It's so cute.
This morning, there was a slight change, but it was my doing. After our normal back-and-forth between the bed and the door, instead of making coffee like I normally do, I curled up in the window seat in the living room and fell back asleep. It seems he was perfectly content with that since I woke up 2 hours later (running late for class as usual) with him snuggled up next to me.
-
That is really sweet. You have to say it they are good when are good and well the rest of the time they are just better.

Mine goes with the flow. Sleep in till 6am cool, get up on time at 4:30am for 30 minute walk before work is cool too.

I envy you guys with sleepy B's! My 6 mo. old puppy wakes me up between 5 and 6 every morning - there's no need for any of us to be up that early, she doesn't want to go out right away, she's just up and wanting to play. Then of course, when breakfast and the walk is done, she goes back to bed! Grrrrrr!

Cody is the same way most of the time. After his morning walk (aka the chasing of the squirrels and cats), he walks around for a few minutes to see what everyone else is doing and checks on me in the shower, but usually by the time I'm dressed for school, I can find him either asleep in his window seat or on my bed.
