She-Ra goes to our local park at least twice a week. It's a nice area with a sectioned-off area for smaller dogs or if a dog is having "behavior issues" you can take it in there if there's no other dogs. A lot of "regulars" maintain law and order if a dog owner is getting out of line (allowing their dog to bully, etc.). She enjoys it.
Runs in to do her business really quick. Sniffs everyone, but hates it when other sniff her. There'll be the occasional "give me space" growl if too many dogs get around her at once and sniff. Spends most of the time sniffing and standing in the middle of the park staring like a statue at something. Then you get the eventual chase going - those are always fun because the other owners are like 'Oh, She-Ra's gonna get caught!' and I grin and say 'No she's not.' as she runs circles around all the other dogs. I love watching my dog run…it's poetry in motion. After about an hour she's pooped and ready to go back home. We've had very few incidents with her that haven't been swiftly fixed. She seems to enjoy going quite a bit, and we're making friends with some of the regulars...I guess we're fairly regular now by this point as well.How do your dogs try and wake you up?

Those photos are just precious!

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.

Savannah stays in bed until i drag her little butt out.
