As a corollary to the waking up thread, who has dogs who try to get them to go to bed at a certain time? Is it gender related?
The boys I have now are content to snooze wherever I am until I announce it's bedtime. However, Patch, my first dog, would begin grumbling at me around 9pm because she wanted to go to bed (and couldn't because I always keep my bedroom door shut).
My parents' Rottie, also a female, would go to bed by herself but if my dad didn't follow within fifteen minutes, she was back out staring at him. If staring didn't work, she'd try the Lassie routine of walking toward him, then walking away and looking over her shoulder. If he was too dense for that, she'd start muttering at him.
So... who else? opcorn:
