Dreaming is as far as I get now that we have young master Reef in residence.
We have not had Reef for very long, about 10 weeks. 10 weeks ago was the last time I had a lay in at the weekend. He has the most uncanny ability to wait for the time to hit 6am then he starts yawning and stretching. If that does not elicit a response he'll yawn a little louder and add a little whimper. If that fails too, his yawns become operatic (really hits the high notes) and he sits there moving from foot to foot so I can also hear the tapping of his claws on the floor and the shuffle of his butt.At this point, Bodie joins in. When I peer from under the duvet they are usually sat like a couple of bookends just staring at the bed. If I happen to move at all, 5 minutes of frantic greeting, wiggling and stretching ensues. At this stage I am not allowed to retreat back under the duvet .. it is morning walk time.
Roll on the day I manage to wake up before Reef and launch myself at his sleeping self for a bit of revenge ... I just can't wait. May have to set my alarm for 5am next sunday just to throw his internal clock out. Snigger.

We have a similar situation with our most recent addition, a 10-month old Border Collie called Nell, although we're not in a motorohome (yet).
Every morning at 6am she lets us know that she needs to go outside. And then shortly after that she needs to be fed, of course.
I can't remember the last time I had a proper lie in.
Hi Steve
Reef's best mate is a border collie called Bertie - the daft dog comes calling for him at the CL where we are staying. Whines and scratches at the vent in the door until I let him in!
When I wake up at 6am tomorrow I will be happy knowing I am not alone and that somewhere in the country Steve and Nell are heading out of the door too :)
