    Those pictures are adorable and classic! Stormie just paws at my head until I'm forced to get up….his aim is "stellar" - I always wind up getting poked in the eye at least once! :)

    That's adorable.
    Charlie is, unfortunately, a morning dog, and likes to get up between 7 and 9. I perfer to wake up around 10, like a typical college student. Charlie will usually walk really close to me, so the bed shakes, then sit on the bottom corner on my bed or go to the door and cry until I get up to let him out.

    Great photos! LOL!

    Zahra is not a morning dog at all, I have to drag her out of bed thankfully!

    When my kids were young they were morning dogs… and since I leave for work at 5/6 am... they got up with me... now that they are "elders" I leave for work, they stay in bed.... especially in the winter....

    The only dog I've had who got up earlier than me (all my Bs have always stayed in bed when I get up in the a.m.) was Pepper (my german shepherd mix). She always carried around her stuffed bear or a tennis ball. In the a.m., she would get up, get her ball, and plop it on the bed and nudge it so that it would roll into my face. If I didn't get up, she'd grab the ball and plop it on the bed again and again…..

    I'm sure DH just loved that wake up!:D

    Our's wake up at 5.30am everyday…...sometimes they go back to bed after they go out......sometimes they don't.
    They 're all very good at waking us if they have an emergency....just rake that paw across the arm till someone get's up.

    What great photos!! Thanks for sharing them. I sometimes send Hollie in to wake her daddy too. She doesn't get in trouble like I would if I woke him on his day off!!! Guess those B faces are too cute to be mad at, huh???

    She-Ra tends to stay in bed as long as me or the wife are in there with her. When we're up and at-em, so is she, although usually she likes her morning rubdown while daddy decides whether or not he wants to get out of bed. :)

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    If you ship him underneath in cargo, don't forget there are temperature restrictions. Where would you transfer planes at? This summer has been hot in many cities! Please check the requirements for the airline you will be traveling on. There is usually a limit to the number of dogs allowed on board and in cargo. You will need to make a reservation for him at the time you make your own. There may be additional requirements since you are coming from Canada, you will need to check with the USDA, the CDC and the State of Massachusetts. You can find the requirements on the USDA website and it has links to each state. http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/pet_travel/pet_travel.shtml You need to make sure the carrier will fit under the seat so if the carrier you are considering is much larger than the large size Sherpa brand bag I doubt it will fit under the seat. I used to travel with Arnie onboard about 10 years ago before 9/11. I trained him to get in and out of the Sherpa bag and to stay in for short periods of time. He almost always laid down in it. He never made noise even when we were in first class and they served food! Most people did not even know I had a dog. I also made sure I was comfortable carrying him in the bag. I figured if the airline employees thought I was struggling with him then he was too heavy and he would not be let on the plane. He was an older pup but weighed about 18-20 lbs. Jennifer

    Funny funny story - after the fact of course. Although we do occasionally get woodchucks (same as groundhogs for those of you in the eastern states) and lots of other creatures, I haven't seen one in quite awhile here. However, my first basenji caught a young muskrat/marshrat who was stupidly trying to cut through our yard and treated him just like he did his toys - " few quick snaps and the stuffing started flying".

    Yes I agree Pat, Fort Funston could get very crowded and dangerous for smaller dogs as packs of bigger dogs playing could cause injury. My 2 Basenjis were very good and stayed pretty close to me and got used to the crowds. The only problem I had there was with this lady who had an older Tri color female Basenji. It would bite my blk/wht, Nika who was 1-1/2 on the butt. A few times of that and I stayed way away from her. The problem is Nika was a very playful girl and never did anything like that. A few times of getting nipped on the butt started her doing it to other dogs and Basenjis. A Basenji would want to play and Nika would chase and give a nip and the the other dog would get mad and a fight would occur. Nobody would ever get hurt thankfully. It was rare that it would happen as I took them there for 9 years, mostly on the weekend without problem. We had a lot of fun and people loved the Basenjis! Ringo, the red/wht was a very entertaining clown when we'd go down to the beach.
