Zoe sleeps in the kitchen and we close the door. One night I forgot to close it and was wakened by a very small drog tiptoeing up my bed. She'd managed to jump up withut waking me and was practically crawling along, belly low to the blanket, and expression on her face that said, "I'm not in trouble, am I?"
I do have one of those. I rescued a boxer boy a little over a year ago. He seems to think 5:30 am is a great time to get up nd go potty. It doesn't matter if I let him out at midnight or 2am, he still wants to potty at 5:30. After he comes back in I make him lay back down until 7:00 am. My other boxer and I would appreciate it if he could go until 8am as we are not morning "people" but we have come to the 7am compromise after the potty break. And I wouldn't call it snuzzling. It is woo-wooing and slobbery kisses.
