Funny how they get onto such a routine. My dogs tend to stay in bed too, until quite some time after I've been up. Jose`....being the mama's boy, most often will get off my bed and come in the den with me and finish his sleep on a blankie next to my chair. I drink my coffee and sign onto Chaz and he goes back to sleep. LOL. He does prefer to be right near me most of the time. But the girls will snore away for an hour or more after I've gotten up. But I get up early.
