Alex T Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 During the past week I was fortunate enough to be off work and was looking forward to lots of lie ins as i usually get up at 6 a.m. - how wrong could i be? Due to having Isis prior to christmas she has spent a couple of months with us now and is obviously used to getting up at 6 a.m. - every mornign at 6 a.m. on the dot she was awake - i tried to ignore her but it didnt work as she howled and cried by our bedroom door. I thought that she was just used to going out at 6 a.m. so i let her out and tried to go back to bed - big mistake - she howled louder and louder! Then i realised she had got use to being fed at 6a.m. so i got up again and fed her, let her out again. Once again i tried to get back to bed - but she wouldnt let me, she wanted to be up and playing around downstairs! I know its good to get them into a routine - but this one has backfired on me!!! Do you Husky's ever do anythign like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 LMAO ohhh I am SOOOOOO glad i'm not the only one with this problem!!!! I am up every morning at 0615 and pull myself together enough to take Kimba out around 0645 - They don't understand the concept of weekends either do they lol I've tried staying up an hour later at night so I feel like i've had a lie in in the morning but that doesn't work either....0615 off he goes with his howling and barking lol Having said that, when we first got Kimba it was exactly the same....now I don't hear a peep from him, only from Kaiser. Maybe she'll grow out of it??? With Kimba it seemed to be that he cried cause he wanted letting out to have a wee, if I let him back in and go back to sleep on the sofa i'm usually ok, they snuggle up with me which I love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austinville Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Bo gets up at 5 a.m. and is ready to go out. He likes to watch me exercise and then, he'll have his morning meds along with a treat. Then, he hops on the sofa for a nap until noonish. At this point it's back outside for a jaunt across the yard and then afternoon nap. When I get home from work, it's time to cuddle (so that supper is filled with Siberian fur, of course...) A walk and then he gets his supper and evening meds before harassing the cat a bit followed by another 'nap' and some more attention before going out again so he's ready for bed. He's been on this schedule for years now. He's gotten pretty predictable. Guess that's one good thing about having an older boy - his routine doesn't change much. Some days I sure miss the overly active Siberian he once was, but have to admit that his maturity is awful sweet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
