My Dog Has Redesigned His Toys...

[elsie]

I usually get up at 5 anyway, but when my sweet kitty meows, I jump. Isn't it funny that for our pets we will do anything, spend just about anything, and cater to their every whim.

ohhhh yea...our boys own me for sure. I'm such a pushover! lol

no hon, thats when daddy wakes up to let them out! mommys eyes dont even begin to flutter at that hour well, excepting for the 2 pound toy being bounced off her head

My cat is too proud to meow or make any noise to wake me up. She quietly crawls up on the bed, sits next to me and slaps me in the eye to see if I'm just faking sleep.

My babies (cats) wake me up every morning at 5 am. They are saying feed me!! I love my babies and so I get up and feed them. They paw at my face to wake me up.... I can't imagine having a dog and waking me up by jumping on me....

My 17 year old cat wakes me up every morning at 4:30 to get him something to eat. He bugs me to death until I get up. Once I am awake, there is no going back to sleep. I had to change his diet 6 months ago because of health issues, now he is feisty as a kitten and wants his food now....get up NOW mom! Bless his little furry heart!

You sound like me. I have 3. A 21 yr old, still very active, a 4 yr old and a 1yr old. Between 4:30 and 5:30. THEY WANT THEIR MORNING TREATS. They have dry food all the time, but get treats, in the am. And all 3 split 1 can of wet food at night. But if their dry food runs out during the night. There is NO sleeping in for me. All 3 of the bed, begging for their treats. Then they like me to open up the door so they can go relax on the porch.

They also have their toys and they seem to think that the ones with the bells in them are best to play with during the middle of the night.

We had a rottweiler, a totally gentle giant, but she would remove the eyes from every stuffed toy (kid's or dog's) she got her paws on - she didn't damage them in any other way but she sure wasn't going to have those toys watching her.

We now have a cocker spaniel and she completely destroys any dog toy she gets (we quit buying them). The only thing that survives is a rubber tire that is tougher than she is. She does not harm furniture, shoes, or anything else but she does have a penchant for stealing socks from the laundry - she doesn't chew them, just takes them outside and leaves them.

I can so relate Crocus! For some reason Sam choses which toys he's going to keep. I wish I could figure out his reasoning. He doesn't harm anything else either, but boy he likes to chew! This is the last toy I bought. The reviews went something like this...My Great Dane can't pull this apart. This is the longest that a toy has lasted with our German Shepard.
Here's a photo of Sam and his indestructible toy 30 minutes after I gave it to him!

Okay I have to confess...Robby gets up with them most of the time and we do lay back down for another hour.
