Bed by Fantasia Dog
The human sets an alarm on her phone for when she plans to wake up. Then she sleeps through it. Sometimes she plans to go somewhere in the morning, and misses out because she doesn’t get up in time.
You might not know this about me, but I’m a watch dog. I always know what time it is. I know when it’s time for my breakfast and time for my dinner. I know when it’s time for bed at night. Often, I have to tell the human what time it is. (Oh, the human says knowing the time isn’t what a watch dog does. Well, I’m a time-telling dog, whatever you call that.)
I know when it’s time to wake up. So sometimes, I try to wake the human up. Often, I’ll wake her a minute or two before the alarm goes off. Then we get up, and I show the human my food bowl, because it’s time for my breakfast.
We had a bad night the other night. The human is still getting over COVID and has coughing fits at times. She had lots of coughing fits that night, and kept me awake. Then Princess got the human up a couple of times, once because she wanted her litter tray scooped, and once because she was lonely and wanted the human to play. Well all those things woke me up as well.
When it was time for the morning alarm, I was still tired. I did my job anyway. I woke the human and told her she had to get up. Just after I woke her, the alarm went, so the human knew it really was time to get up.
She got out of bed, and said she’d get my breakfast.
Then I did something really sneaky. Instead of getting up, I moved to her end of the bed, the end with the pillows. I had the whole bed to myself, and I stretched out, and snuggled down in the pillows for a nice morning nap.
It’s all right, I eat dry food. My breakfast was still fine to eat when I was ready to get up.

Such a good watch dog! Nothing wrong with a morning nap when your job is done! 💞💞💞
My Daisy is NOT a morning dog….she refuses to wake up until at least 4 hours after me.

Fanta is usually tied very much to her routine, but occasionally does something like this to mix things up a bit.
