Dog wake-up calls

[Catherine]

Quote:Misty was more of a 'morning person' than I am....her way of waking me up was quite subtle though. She shook her body out and yawned with a little squeaking sound at the end. It always made me smile. Breakfast wasn't far away -and she knew it!

She was good. Just enough of a hint that she was ready for breakfast.
With the guinea pigs, I can sleep late, but I have to be very quiet. If they hear me move they give a test squeak, followed by some discussion, which I can hear. If they are hungry they will start calling until I get up. No piggie has ever come to get me, but over the years a few dwarf hamsters did.
Reptiles that want food right now just stare. Oddly it is very effective.
The dogs are funnier though.
