on the heat of the sun???? Basenji love the heat. If you had a fireplace, it will be within inches of the hot logs.
If you have more than one Dog Do they work together to get you up in the Morning?

Like Nemo, my 3 like to sleep in! When I do get them up and out, they are right back to bed when I leave for work.

My boys don't. Cody wakes up way too early for Moe. On cold mornings, Moe actually steals Cody's spot on the bed when Cody gets up. He doesn't need the help anyway, he has learned that the easiest way to wake someone up is to pull the blankets off of them.

Jaycee the B and Spice the Shibu and Bo the Pom they all sleep in we sleep to 10:00 a.m. they do to but when we do get up look out. The parrot even sleeps in as long as we do.

In my house, the puppy usually wants to get up first (so much to do, so little time :rolleyes:)…the adults just ignore her until they are ready, and Liyah usually will go back to sleep or play with a toy until I get up.
During Liyah's heat, Brando would get up because he was so restless - Ruby and Liyah would ignore him or growl at him if he disturbed them.
Ruby is a lounger, she is usually under the down comforter until I get out of bed and pull the covers off her :D.
My 3 act very independently.

The only one who will actually make noises to go out, is the old heeler x. Since she drinks about 6 cups of water in the morning (at least in one sitting), she really needs to go out. But the Basenji's and the boxer won't move until they have to.

It's the other way around at my house. I have to figure out how to get the dogs out of the bed.
Same here. They have to be shoved outside, then run back in, and go right back to bed. And if we make the bed before they get back in it, they un-make it to get back under the covers!

Gemma gets up early, walks the house, and eventually comes in to get me up, then keeps bothering Shaye until she gets up. Shaye would sleep longer if it were not for Gemma being an early riser - and so would I!

I can leave the house without them getting out of bed.. After me leaving BF showers and then it's his task to get the pups out of their bed 
On a Saturday it can happen that I want to sleep late and then the are both standing against the bed to wake us
-
I get up at 4:00 AM to work out before work so I am the one who wakes everyone up.
-
If I get up real early, I get dirty looks from those who aren't under the covers, and the ones under the blankets will snark and make all kinds of noises if I disturb them. I like to gently play with the Basenjis under the covers and they get so mad at me! :p
My old Eskie likes to sleep in the back of my SUV during the day - he is so worried I might go somewhere and he'll be left behind. In the morning, he sleeps with one eye open watching me!

Must be because mine are pretty much puppies they get up earlier. If I try to wake or move Gemma, she gets growly and whiny in her sleep - sometimes I mess with her in the night just to hear her, it's so funny.:rolleyes:

We call that "playing the growlaphone", getting that nice rumble from a sleeping basenji lump!

If I get distracted after I get them up and don't open the back door right away, Nemo usually decides it's not worth it and runs back to the bed and I'll have to get him up again!</big> -
My dogs don't sleep with me. They sleep out in the living room. As my guys are older its usually me waking them up. My girl (12yr old) will look at me like do I really have to go outside, you know we have a doggie door I can go whenever. But my husband gets up at 3:30 and leaves the house around 4:00am. He says the dogs sleep right through his leaving the house.

That's a good one – ha ha my Basenjis getting me up in the morning!
NO. Mine are both late sleepers who resent it when I have to get them up before 8 AM.
If I have to leave the house and so have to put them out to potty and get them fed early, there is much grumbling and complaining. They potty, they eat, they go back to bed.On a stay at home day, it is seldom before 8 AM that they even stir in their beds, and often closer to 9AM. And that is with the whole family up and moving about.

Mosly Indy and Lori just work together to get in trouble. They have figured out how to get the roll of toilet paper off the holder. Indy will grab the holder and lori the toilet paper and run in opposite directions. Good thing they are only about $1.50 to replace or I would have a pair of basenji skin boots!
