We have Jerry Underfoot who waits until he hears huMom move in bed. He jumps up purring & meowing loudly while he head butts her. If that doesn’t work he comes over & licks the inside of my ears; I don’t like it. If that doesn’t work then he wake GG our pigbro. No one sleeps if GG starts blowing his oboe 😉
Nose nudges,

I love that Jerry’s name! It makes me giggle thinking how he got it. After meeting a little piglet recently I can only imagine the racket the ‘oboe’ makes. Those guys are pretty ‘squealy.’
Luke is our first dog in a long time that I have to rouse out of bed in the morning!!
Aww, don’t you LOVE those dogs that are happy to sleep in a little?
hahaha so true and mine scratch my eyes out
Nothing like the well placed paw to wake up a human.
😁
I love waking up to that sound. 🙂
Better than any alarm clock!
I scratch the bed until Granny gets up…MOL 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Day 🙂 <3
That’s a little hard on the furniture, Binky. Why not just meow. Loudly. 😹
I do that too…MOL 😀
That’s the spirit!
Rosy would much rather walk up the length of your body and lick your face :-).
You’re lucky she doesn’t weigh almost 60 lbs. The kicking part isn’t so bad, it’s that weight thing that’ll really wake you up!
Hazel tip toes around and makes little snuffing noises hoping the peeps will wake up. Me I just attack with kisses and if that doesn’t work I pull the covers off!
hugs
Mabel
So, basically the subtle approach? BOL
Hello from Mountains of North Idaho stop in from H and Z any how who could love that face.
If you have time stop in for a bone.
Thanks for swinging by the Ranch. We 💞 visitors and will drop by for a looky-look (and a bone). 😁
Callie used to rest her chin on the edge of my pillow and stare at me until I woke up. And she always knew when I was pretending to be asleep. And then she would start wagging her tail like crazy. I miss that girl. 😍🐶😇
Aww, so sweet. My first dog in Denver used to thump his tail at the wall and breathe in my face. He somehow managed to know what I was faking sleep too.
We sleep in the kitchen, Mom and Dad are upstairs in their bedroom. We can’t make noise up there, but we do a great job of dropping our bones all over the hardwood floors – they are super noisemakers:)
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Way to go, guys!
I love this! My Golden used to whack his tail on the nightstand all of the time. Bentley scratches my sheets and gives me kisses to wake me up. Dogs do not have snooze alarms.
They sure don’t. And often don’t understand the difference between 4:30 am and 6:00 am. 😂
I don’t know. Why do I get the feeling that I am missing out on something? If Benji ever woke me up there would two moons in the sky. I’m the one first up and the one that rouses him from his slumbers. :o)
Trust me, you’re not missing a thing! 😊
Tails of Mass Destruction. Not a Maltese issue.
LOL, no I guess probably not. You’re definitely missing out though.
I take the collars off at bedtime to try to prevent that noise. But in the morning Xena click, click, clicks on the hardwood floor around the bed, up the wood stairs to the bed. Looks at me. If I keep my eyes closed, she click, click, clicks back down the stairs and to her her bed. 5 minutes later….you get the picture. Usually starts around 4:30 a.m.after my hubby gets up for the day and lets them out to potty. The bags under the eyes just keep getting bigger.
It’s mostly the thump, thump, thumping of Sam’s tail nest to the bed that wakes me. Well that and a 55 pound pile of fur that has jumped up on top of me. “What, who, where am I?” Oh, hi Elsa. 😇
Xena jumps on Jeff, but that’s only about 15 pounds. Lucy is much more polite, in hopes of being allowed to stay in bed with us. She has lots of touch needs, and I bet Elsa does, too.
She’s extremely jealous of Sam who I love coming up on the bed and snuggling with. He is patient and calm. She’s demanding and insatiable with attention. And she snores like a Stevedore!
Mr Speaker climbs up on the cabinets every morning. But sans the grace at five in the morning. In fact, it sounds like a panther has gotten loose in the house. But he knows what he’s doing. 🙂
They always do even if us mere mortal uprights can’t figure it out. 🤣
HAHAHA!
See, Speaker knows that it will get him fed just so’s we don’t have to hear him leaping around any longer. Who rules the planet, really? Our four legged partners . . that’s who.
With an iron paw!
You got that right!
just so happens that Sat morning Milo wanted me up, so he came up to lick me awake. Then he pushed an inch too far and knocked over the bedside table spilling my water glass, book and lamp all to the floor. He beat a hasty retreat lest he be blamed for that mess. I was awake alright.
“Hel-lo, ma!” Then they say…I didn’t do it!
I remember this. It’s usually because they want something. Just saying.
I linked this post to Awww Mondays.
Have a woof woof day, Sam and Elsa. My best to your mom. ♥
They just want me up! LOL Thanks for the link to Awww Mondays. Have a pawsome Monday!
Yup, we got Kaci. After the tail, she turns around and gives face kisses and gets into it so much that her teeth get into the action. She doesn’t mean to, but the teeth are annoying.
Elsa will nibble my shoulder if you don’t pet her. After she’s nose nudged you wide awake.
yep – put me down for two. Kali throws in some heavy panting for good measure.
LOL…nothing like the hot breath of a dog when you’re sound asleep. Is there? Especially when they jump up on the bed and make it shake with the over exaggerated panting. Ok, ok…I’m up already. 😆
Hopefully they do it at a reasonable time.
Oh-dark thirty Is reasonable? We wake up robins!
Ouch!
Tell me about it. Going to bed at midnight and being awake at 4:30 or 5. No worry I’m a babbling fool during the day!
Hang in there!
I’m turning into a kindergartener…I need a blankie and a nap anymore! LOL
Embrace it! 😉
Around here, I have to wake up Choppy most days!
Those were the days before Elsa. Now EVERYONE must get up early so Sam figures it’s his duty to help me. I think he’d rather sleep in, at least until the bird are awake.
Ah, the new kid comes in and everything gets changed! The only exception to Choppy being woken up here is an occasional weekend if I decide to sleep in a bit – though usually Choppy is content being let out, given a treat, and coming back up to bed.
Funny how the ‘baby’ of the family always seems to dictate things.
People or animal baby, it doesn’t matter.
Good morning to y’alls! Here, we have nobody to wake us up but ourselves – and sometimes our alarm clocks. Our kitties are not in the house. And even when we had doggies and they were inside, they never had access to the bedroom.
In a way, that’s kind of nice. But I don’t think I could fall asleep if the dogs aren’t in the bedroom. It’s always something, isn’t it? 😀
🙂
Yup … got one of them! If I pretend to be asleep after he has butted me with his nose, he drops his significant weight onto the floor with a very significant “clumph”!
Oh boy…a clunker and a thumper! 😇
Gotta give him full credit …. it works!
They definitely know how to make their presence and needs known quite effectively.
🙂
