We are trying to find a tactic that will prevent the dogs from waking us up in the morning. We have tried telling them to go back to their beds. After the fourth time one of us gives up and takes the dogs out to play, normally at 6:45 AM. Today we decided to try ignoring the dogs.

This is easier said then done. Cooper is large enough that when he puts his paws on the bed and I am lying in the bed they end up on my breast or in the middle of my back. After ignoring that, Caya decided to put her paws on the bed. No biggie there, Caya's paws reach the edge of the bed. Both puppies got down and we heard some pawing about. Then we find Caya standing in between my Hubby and I in the bed licking his face.

Ignore didn't work.

We tried putting them in the hall way. After 20 minutes we had whining puppies at the bedroom door and a bit of barking.

At 6:45 I was up, taking the dogs out.

At least I got in some good reading.

Silly puppies.
