I think crate training is the best innovation in dog care in ages. They're
safe, they have water, generally, they won't mess the crate and they can't
terrorize building inspectors.

I got a great gift this AM. DD heard his whining at sun up, got up, went
down, let him out, fed him and told him to "Let Mommy sleep". And went back
to bed herself.

Honestly, we've trained Puckster so that he gets told to "go lie down" and
then won't bug us til we're getting up. OTOH, the poor thing was a bit
confused with my getting up so much at 0'dark thirty, and would get up,
ramble around - looking confused. Then he started coming downstairs with me
- but I wouldn't usually let him out (after all, this is 4:45 am). Now,
after a couple of months - he just climbs onto the bed - generally heading
for where I was, and goes back to sleep - doesn't even follow me down.
Are you feeding him too early in the evening so that he's really hungry so
early? Just try changing his morning hours slightly each day.
Oh, well - who can say. We have a non-food orientad dog, so he doesn't
really bug us about meals unless he is truly very hungry. Though he will
stare at the water bowl, and then at local human -then at bowl and so forth
til we get the hint when it's empty.

I've tried racking that back during past visits. Some mornings, while food
is high priority, he's got to go having fallen asleep after dinner with out
the obligatory squat.

Ah, that would be a problem. Puckster definitely gets the last walk at
night, though it's gotten earlier since I've started going to bed earlier.
Does make a difference.

Yup - well, that is a truism. Puckster is pretty heavy - the vet is
astonished that he weighs in at about 67# - and isn't "hefty" - he's just so
muscular. We were trying to get him down to about 60, but she said 65#
would be fine - he was up to 68#. I have had other dogs that were always
looking for food. This one - not at all - but he does have things that will
perk him up - as in if he sees/hears me grabbing a LF chesse snack - he has
to have some. And he adores tuna fish - I don't know why. Oh, well. He
actually won't eat his dry kibble unless it has a spoon of some human food
(generally LF cottage cheese, or some veggie) or he's really, really hungry.
Unlike other dogs I've had that are nose into it immediately.

My peeve was, "Mom, you have to....." (drive me to so-and-so's house,
pick up someone to go to the mall, etc.)
To which I replied, "Would you care to rephrase that?"
(And if it continued, the reply was, "No, I don't.")
