Marley will sometimes bark in her sleep and it jolts me awake everytime. She sits and stares at me at 5AM each day until I guess I feel her eyes on me, and then we go out.
Our female black lab goes to bed with us and sleeps till I get up in the morning around 10. She doesn't go out with her "dad" when he gets up at 7!!! We gals need our beauty sleep!!!
