what time do you get up?

Or should that be what time are you forced up by the dogsters!

Now my body clocked is well and truely messed up, always has been! but with working nights and whatever we have backwards days so we don't tend to get up until 2-3pm but then we don't go to bed until about 6-7am the next day.

But we still go for 2 walks, and they are fed once a day anyway so that doesn't matter, but they are very very used to our routine, and seeing as though they sleep on our bed with us they stay asleep and wake us up normally about 3

So what time are you lot forced up by your doggies?

We get up at about 7am most mornings, out for first walkies at about 8am.

6.30/7am workdays, 9 on weekends

Walks differ to weekends/workdays Xx

I'm up at 5:30am every day. Nowt to do with Logan, he sleeps all day...

I get up at different times day-to-day because I have a weird way of sleeping. But if no-one's up by 8am Loki will usually start crying only for the toilet and breakfast, mind you, he'll sleep after than until 10 or 11 if no-one disturbs him.

now that would kill me!

5am most days and sometimes earlier. They eat first thing, but occasionally they let me sleep in till 6!

Earlier than I'd like!! About 6-6:30 in the week, later at the weekend...much later if I let daisy sleep in my bed!!

5.30 am.... Alfies still asleep though and s**** himself when my alarm goes off

up at 6 and out the door at 6.45,need a strong cup of coffee to wake up first!

I love it when I get downstairs before daisy wakes up, she gets out of her bed all squinty eyed, stretching, as if to say really do I have to get up!!

Haha awww!!! I have 3 alarms ( i like to snooze) and alfie has learnt he only gets up on the third alarm a d when i give him his good morning kiss!

Sleep from 2:30am-9:00am.

Tomorrow I've got work from 7:30-1 before football at 2

I'm usually up at 530 and out the door by 700 or 730

When I was working I used to get up at 6.30 am, whether my current dog liked it or not (and I certainly didn't!)

Now I'm retired my lie-ins have got longer and longer .... and here's where dogs are SO accommodating, Kuchar lies in with me, all cuddly and snoozy. I dread to tell you what time I get up these days!

i get woken for poo and pee walk at around 02:00 to 04:00 regular as clockwork then back to bed. funny thing is marley always gets under the covers with me after it while going to bed he sleeps on top and laska sleeps under the bed. not so nice when its raining and having a wet dog snuggled into you... good thing is i dont need the heating on

5:30am And the dogster really dosen't know the difference whether it weekday or weekend

I also work shifts Ledger hates getting up when I have to be out of the house by 5.30 his body clock tends to wake him about 9am. The problem with not having a garden is he needs frequent 4-5 wee walks so when Im on nights he gets one walk when I get home about 7.30am, after breakfast he will then sleep til lunchtime for a 5/10 min spin around the park then will sleep again til about 4.30 for another walk before tea. If I am lucky/tired enough I will sleep the same as him

This clearly just goes to show that our dogs are our family members - not just a dog - and that we somehow balance our worklife round our dogs despite it not always being easy !!
Unlike those gumtree "sellers" advertising their "Staffy" for sale "threw no folt of his own" (actual spelling on the ad)...OR..."haven't got time for him anymore" !! WHY NOT ??? I would give my last breath to my dog - not just "time" !!...OR...my personal fave (excuse the sarcasm) - work commitments/new job/wife got a full time job ?? BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA !! These people should have a look at this whole discussion & see how its done ! And WHY do we do it folks ??? Cos our dogs are our family !! Just like children (not that I have any) are family - funny how you never see any kids for sale on gumtree !!
Phew !! Rant over !! Thanks for listening peeps !! Lol x

I would always get up at 7:30 weekdays and then 8am at the weekend. With the pup it's 6:30 all week. I am silly because I font go to bed any earlier .
I used to love a Sunday lie -in but for the last 5 yrs I wake up and can't get back to sleep .

The OH is up and out with dogs at about 4.30am on work days and 6.30/7am on days off, I'm usually up at 6.30/7am whatever the day!

Weekdays normally up at 6 to strat work due to German time etc and trying to get my stuff done, Jen walks the dogs for 45 mins before School and then I take them out for a good off lead later in the morning or at dinnertime, then they have a teatime walk. As the mornings get lighter I wan to get up earlier like 5 is and make sure they get a good run out first thing.
Weekends are really random sometimes early and long walks sometimes later and more shorter walks just really depends on our day and plans

my son and work dictates alot, i have to go find tyke on a morning and wake him up haha

5am weekdays trying to teach her about wkends! 4.30 this morning she wanted to go out, let her back in crawled back into my bed she then decided it was breakfast time fed her & we all had a sleep til 6.30

I'm the one usually waking ebony up she's such a sleepy dog in the house, she'll just move round the house sleeping in different areas! You'd be shocked to see how mad she goes when she's on the field

Im up at 5.15am Monday to Friday for work and my two get up with me, nip out and then have Breakfast then they will head back to bed and dont get up until they feel like it.

I used to look forward to a long lie at the weekend but ever since we got Tara she has woken me no later than 6.10am to let her out and give her Breakie ... but at least we ALL get to go back to bed lol xx

6, though to be fair this is not because of the dogs just what time I need to get up to get ready for work. We have been very naughty lately and not walking the dogs anywhere even close to enough.

I get up about 4:30 on days I am working, so they have a long hour and a half of exercise before I go to work at 7.

However on my days off, I do get a lay in till about half past 6!
