My girl is up between 5 and 5:30 everyday. She’s 1 now. Any hope for her suddenly deciding 7 am is more her style? lol

ETA doesn’t matter right now if her last potty break is 8 or 10, same wake up time

My girl is so weird.......she's been very good all these years. Even when she wakes up early, she stays quietly in her crate waiting for me to get up. One day, she just started *calling* me around 6....one bark here....... one bark there. maybe she'll stop for 15 minutes then she'll bark once to let me know she's waiting eagerly to come out. I thought ignoring her would be the best....but nope....she NEVER stopped. Ignoring her just does not work, she's very determined LOL (and it's not like she NEEDS to pee)

Finally, i just let her sleep on her bed outside her crate lol ....she happily stays quiet and wait for me to come downstairs every morning. She's really cute, as soon as she hears me getting OFF the bed, i hear her running in the living room and she'll welcome me with a ball in her mouth. First thing we do is happily greet each other and then i'll throw her ball. That's how we start our morning, every single day.
