My last dog was awesome. He loved to sleep and wouldn't even think of getting up until you were already up. Unless he had some sort of very rare emergency situation. My dog before that, had DH up at the crack of dawn. In winter in Edmonton, that's no big deal. In summer, that means 4:30 or 5 AM!! Thank goodness DH would walk her, feed her and come back to bed. I just had to roll over and go back to sleep.

Body Worlds is coming to Portland soon. I'm definitely going.
