Our Maizie is 16 months old now and our first Golden. It seems she's falling asleep by about 6:30 pm and is out for the night. Just wondering if other goldens go sound asleep this early when the days are shorter during the winter.
Nope...my dogs fall asleep every night at the exact same time year 'round. Lucy is asleep by 8 and Chance is asleep by 8:30 to 9. I usually go to bed between 1 and 2 so I wake Chance up to go potty one last time, but there is no waking up Lucy at all. She's out for the night...
If Tayla is out of her crate she is perpetual motion. I put her in her crate between 9:30 and 10:00. She may be awake until we go to bed at 10:30 or 11.
Wow, Maizie must have a huge bladder, lol.
I take my boys out around nine in the evening for their last walk, they usually settle down after that. This is regardless of the season.
Ben naps off and on all evening, but he doesn't go to his bed until after our walk at 11:00 and usually not until we go to bed around 1:00. He doesn't wake up until 9:30 or so, most days, sometimes later if we sleep really late.
I must have a really lazy dog...I take Chaya out around 6pm for her last potty, and she pretty much sleeps until the morning. She'll follow us around while we're still up, but falls asleep immediately once she's repositioned. Sometimes if we're being too loud and annoying, she puts herself to sleep for the night in our bedroom! And this is both summer and winter....
My MacKenzie sleeps very hard. I can actually carry her while she is sleeping, and she won't wake up. Now that you mention it she has been falling asleep earlier, maybe before 8:00. She plays very hard during the day too.
no matter what time of year my two they seem to want to go to bed at 1030. they give me that look around 1020 that says I'm going outside one last time and then it's bed time mom! lol
Last potty break is around 9:00 pm and then to bed. Everyone is ready since we get up at 4 am. Hubby off to work @ 4:45 and I'm off to work @ 6:00. :wavey: Vicki
Libbie goes to bed pretty much the same time now as she did in the summer. She starts getting really lazy and sleepy around 8 - 8:30. Usually that's when I take her out for a last pee break and then she's in bed by about 9:00 ish. She's so funny. If i'm busy, she'll come and stare at me and whine and go to her crate. She's telling me "mom, it's bedtime!".
The time change throws my dog off. In fact in throws me off too.
He is ready between 8:00 or 8:30 and he wants us to go to bed now. Too early for me. We struggle in a game of will. He persists, strategizes and charms. He wins! I cave. Someday he will get the bed and I will get the crate.
Rose goes to "bed" when I get in bed. Around 10:30pm. She sleeps until we wake up. During the week it is 5:30am weekends around 7am.
Her "bed" is under my nightstand. She roams between the bedrooms and sometimes she would get in her bed but she always ends up under the nightstand. Not sure how I am to accommodate that as she gets bigger. She is 6 months now.
Yup Sierra gives a groan about 8:30 -9:00 no matter what time of the year,that's the signal to go to bed, we are up about 4:30 AM for a walk and breakfast so I can be out the door for work by about 6:30. sleep in about an hour on weekends. I think Lance could sleep a couple hours more if I let him.
chester has his last potty break at 10-10:30 then usually goes to bed around 11ish sometimes even earlier. he wont go to bed unless im in bed. he such a mama's boy, and if i move while hes sleeping he gets right up. hes a very light sleeper, im hoping it changes once he's older.
Roran follows my wife into the bedroom around 830 or 9 she's a nurse so up early. He would start sleeping in the living room as early as 8 once the 2 year old is put to bed and no longer "playing" with him
Whether it's winter or summer, he still goes to sleep when we go to sleep. As long as we're awake, he's awake. If one of us goes to bed, he'll stay up until either myself or my wife goes to bed as well.
Lady puts herself to be it seems now....around 8 when things have been quiet for about an hour. (kids go down at 7) she usually goes out to her crate and goes to bed!!!! Up until lately ( we started walking more and running more lately) she went whenever we did but now she's done for by 8 especially nights we walk/run lol.
Kie usually gets put in her crate at 7 and Bear will go to sleep next to her crate at usually 8 or 9
