I did not get much sleep last night.

Dogs and cats always know what time it is, but they have an interesting way of telling it. Rather than being able to say, "It is 05.30," they say, "The human usually gets up around this time." Rather than saying, "It is 18.00," they say, "This is the time that the human usually feeds me supper." Dogs and cats usually adjust to the routines of their owner. I stayed up excruciatingly late last night to work on a volunteer assignment, many hours past my usual bed time. My work being done for the night, I crawled into bed. Two short hours later I wake up to the pressure of the cat crawling along my back, to wake me up for work (I am off today). The dog, upon realizing that I was awake, got up and put her nose at the end of the bed, trotting about with her, "I have to potty" dance. My schedule for the day changed, but they followed the normal routine. If I am lucky, I managed three solid hours of sleep last night. Do your pets seem follow a schedule or are they rather laid back?
