Elyse Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Happy for ya! One of the things my Nono said, is that even after you retire, its important to keep moving. Keep as active as you can, both mentally and physically, and you'll live longer. And it was true, he lived until he was 87...which is a long time for my family's bloodline.

Mike101 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Having the dogs wake you up is a much more pleasant way to get woken up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Having the dogs wake you up is a much more pleasant way to get woken up though That is true most of the time....there are times even I do not want to wake up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare70 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 It's funny, since having the dogs I've forgotten what a lay in is. Even at the weekends I'm up by 8am, as soon as it's daylight they are awake and ready to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike101 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 8:00 am is a lay -in for me I was usually up for 5:00am . Skye will manage 7:00 to 7-30 at the week-ends before she comes bounding up the stairs and onto the bed. licking my eyes, nose and tugging at my hair to let me know she wants to go a walk .

BIGBY Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Mine's only 3months and as soon as it hits 7am that's his cue to pull off the blanket and start howling for his breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
