We have a beagle. His name is Snoopy. He knows how to tell time. I think he should go on Oprah.
The reason I think he knows how to tell time is that at night when we go to bed I give him instructions on when it is ok for him to get up the next morning and he always does as I tell him.
I tell him to stay in bed and not get up or wake us up before 7:30 the next morning. And he does that. This morning I got up at 7:00 but he stayed in bed 'til 7:30 as instructed.
If I forget to tell him, he just gets up whenever he pleases and tries to get us up, too.
At first I didn't believe it. I thought it was a coincidence. But I have been doing this for several months now and it works! Whatever works is fine with me.
you just gotta love a dog with talent. :)
That's quite a gem of a pup you have there. If only kids could do the same... :)
That's pretty amazing! What a smartie you have there.
Shirley- My cat does not have this same attribute as your dog. He gets up when he wants to and gets in my face to tell me when it's time to get up!
Hi Shirley,
Snoopy sounds like a very smart dog...better than having an alarm clock! :)
I would start documenting that on film, because you have one smart dog!
Yeah, but does he
You, know. Little things like that. LOL
Pretty cool Shirley! I know my horses can tell time. They know when they see us it is time for dinner . . lol
Gail - I love Snoopy; that is why he is so good.
Jim & Maria - Dogs are easier to train than children. :-)
Chris - Thanks, I agree.
Lori - Cats are very independent creatures.
Suzanne - Maybe not better than an alarm clock, but more loveable and loving.
Todd - That's a good idea.
Russel - That's funny. LOL. Thanks for the laugh.
Tami - Dogs are very much into the routine thing. Horses probably are as well
I am going to have that talk with my puppy at bedtime and I'll let you know how that goes. I think it's fantastic. And thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. Looking forward to getting to know you better.

Good morning Shirley,
that is too cute. Do you have a picture of Snoopy? I have three chihuahuas, Sarah, Sunshine and Honey Bear. If I don't let them sleep with me, in the morning I will find a mess because they won't hold it until I get up. But if they are in bed with me, no messes. I just wish my husband would understand that and quit running them out of the bedroom.
