Bed Time

What time is bed time for your dogs? And what time do you take them out in the AM?

Around here bedtime is between 9 and 9:30 pm. If we go out, once in a blue moon, they stay up later for us but on the norm, its before 10 pm...Wake up time is about 6:30 and they really are not anxious to get out. :roll:

Final potty break is 10:00. Mattie usually gets me up at 6 to go out in the morning. Even on weekends. Ugh!!
On weekends I go back to sleep then they get me up at 7:30 for breakfast

I go to bed at about 2.00 am as I am a night owl and work from home. But the dogs don't always go out for the bathroom at that time, only if they ask. They usually go to the bathroom at 9.30 pm and then not until the morning.
Russ gets up at 6.00 am, they have dinner at 6.30 am and go to the bathroom after breakfast.
My guys are up at about 5:30am, go out, then eat.
They eat supper about 9pm (I get home from work about 7:30, and 3 nights a week we have classes) Last potty at about 11pm and off to bed. :wink:
Last garden break is 11pm. Sometimes a little earlier, but they usually appear in the kitchen at that time. Up at 6.45 out garden, brekkie at 7.30 out garden again.....
I usually take Angus for a walk around 7 pm and he does his business on our walk. (yes, I have poop bags along!) He sometimes eats when we get back and snoozes on the floor while I'm on the computer and is done for the night. He'll come into our room when I go to bed. He is up with my husband anywhere from 3:30-4:30 to go to work with him to check on things. My husband comes back home around 5 to eat breakfast and Angus sneaks back into bed with me and he is there until I come home at lunchtime to check on him.
First call is 6 a.m. then both head back to bed and wait until I get up for breakfast. Harry insists I change beds when he comes in so we can snuggle. Night time. Usually 8 pm for last call. In their younger days last call was 10-10:30.

This a.m. Harry needed an earlier first call, but only by about 30 minutes.
You guys don't know how good you have it... Our girls want to go out between 4:30 and 5AM EVERYDAY! And even then, they'll go out, do their thing and then come up and lounge on the deck, regardless of the temp outside. They LOVE LOVE LOVE their deck!!!

Last call is usually around 10 unless one of us is up late and then who knows. I do know that if I hold off and do our walkies closer to that 10PM time, they'll give me and extra 30 minutes or so in the morning. And lately, that 30 minutes is like gold!

Mr Flexible is erm Flexible very flexible indeed.

He was never put on a set routine as I work shifts and it really works well, even long lie ins at the weekend are not an issue,

If I pop down on a Saturday around 8am feed him and the cats and leave the door open if it's dry he'll happily sit outside with his chin resting on the door threshold.

On early shift he can be happy and ready to go for a walk at 5am.

Late nights each night varies, it is not unknown for me to take him out as late as 3 am.

He really is happy to go out whenever and patient to wait.

I always get massively greeted when I come home from work whenever that maybe.

so you see Mr Flexible.
Sprocket goes out the back around 11pm and now that I work from home and no alarm clock he wakes me around 7.30 with a good licking in my ear,then when I am awake he goes and lays on his bed. He is never bothered to go out or for his breakfast untill I go into the kitchen and put the kettle on.x
My girls pretty much have the run of things when they need to go out. With a doggie door, I don't have to let them in and out. Asia loves to lay out on the back patio at night. The 3 usually are ready for breakfast around 5:30 am. There have been morning where Asia barked at me because I wasn't moving fast enough for her tummy. They usually have dinner around 3:30. I work from home so things are pretty relaxed for them. Violet always go to bed for the day with her dad when he gets home from work after working nights.
mine she is outside every time, I'm just wrapping her food and it's enough. i hug her twice a year..no bad habits please..
I'm joking... eating on 7:00 AM, outside all the day, when I'm coming from work, I go for a walk with her. Sleeping when I go to sleep....during this time she follow me everywhere..
On worknights, last potty break is around 9:30 PM with bed right after that. On non-worknights, it's about 10:30 PM.
On those non-worknights, Brick will wander off to the bedroom no later than 11:00 PM.

On weekdays, I get his butt out of bed around 6 AM. On weekends, he gets me up between 6:30 and 7:30 AM.
my dogs go to bed when i do as thay sleep in my bedroom :yay: :D :wag: :wag:
heu...how much dogs oldoak?
We normally are in bed by 10 and Cloud has bounce and cuddle time on the bed then. His last visit to the garden is normally 9.45. But currently on the Isle of Man it is -7 after dark so he wants to live outside. I swear our neigbhours think we are abusing him. He loves the cold.

I share Vance's issue I am a light sleeper so if Mr Cloud comes back in the bedroom at 4am needing a wee. Then up I get.

But weekend mornings he is a lazy boy.

:hearts:
OH MY! :o

We are more night owls. Chowder gets tired around 10 and sleeps in whatever room we are in. She goes out just before bed which on weeknights can be anywhere between 11 and 12 and on weekends 12 and 2.

BUT 6 and 7am! WHOA! We taught her how to sleep in by the time she was... 7 months old maybe. Chowder sleeps in until we wake up. It could easily be noon some weekends though usually 11ish.

There are some weekdays where I have to wake her up to get her moving.
Our Sheepie stays up late with my husband and usually gets his last pee break around midnight. In the morning he gets up with me (or wakes me up, depending how late he was up with Brent) between 6:30 and 7:30.... regardless of whether it is a weekend. I leave for work at 8, the dogs go back to bed with Brent and then get up and go outside to play when he gets up at 8:30. Leonard loves the snow bank and sometimes refuses to come inside at night. The other night it was -35 and he was sleeping in the snow bank. I had to go out and get him. Brrr.
Oscar is on Vance's pups schedule. We get up between 4 - 5 a.m. EVERY DAY as sheepdogs have no understanding of weekends. :D He gets fed and out to potty, which , remember, has to be done on a leash as he's deaf. So no opening the door and letting him go out in the dark, in the dead of winter. I have to bundle up for every single potty.

At 10 pm, he gets between me and the tv and STARES. 8O Bedtime is always at 10 pm. :D I swear this dog must own a watch.

Now that Ramsey is growing up a bit, he is following Laylas schedule. Last pee chance is at 11-11:30, then off to bed. Snuggles and usually sleep. He has just started sleeping out of his crate, so after lights out, about midnight, he heads back down to sleep on the tile floor. He comes up at 7-7:30am to check if we are still sleeping and lay on the bed or floor next to it. Then we all go out around 8:30-9. Then they get BACK in bed while I'm getting ready for work. I'm VERY fortunate, they are the most LAZY dogs in the morning. The other morning I found myself yelling upstairs at Layla to get out of bed and go pee, I felt like a mom yelling at her teenager!!! I had to laugh. Weekends they will sleep in til I am up, they love their snuggles and so do I! Makes their daddy very happy because he can sleep FOREVER on the weekends, lol.
It must be a New Jersey thing. Chowder and Ramsey are SMART
I am jealous of all of the dogs here that sleep in. :mrgreen: I have not slept past 5 a.m. in the 8 1/2 years we've had Oscar.

Laurie and Oscar, the Sleep Depriver
And people think Bassets are lazy...mine are the early risers.
My Simon (ATB) would hear me BREATHE and be whining to go out in the morning. Now Harley has taken over - he wakes anywhere between 3-5am and wants to be let out. I honestly don't know how long the rest of them would sleep in.
