I was just curious how your bassets wake up in the morning. Bowser (who now consistently sleeps with me..hehehe) Yawns, blinks, lays there. He may moan a little, whine a little, and move his paws or wag his tail, but his body is stationary. After some petting, talking, whining, he may lift his head and CRAWL a little bit across the bed...and then flop over on his side again. The cycle continues, and WILL continue for at least 10-15 minutes if you let him. Once awake, he IS awake, but he just won't get UP!
If you don't pet him, he will whine and whine...then get up off his side and crawl towards you...flop, whine whine...crawl, flop, whine whine, until he gets to your face so he can kiss you. And whines the whole time. Of course by then you pet him, and he flops over and stays still until you stop *lol*

Anyone else have a basset THIS lazy???

That's pretty lazy. ....

Lovin' my Ace

Me and my basset have the same morning routine...when I wake up, he wakes him then he goes outside to potty. When he comes back in, I get myself done while he jumps back up in the bed to sleep. Once I'm done and ready to go downstairs he lays in the bed until I pet him, love on him and tell him that I will get him a "good boy treat". After that he is pretty wide awake. I don't blame any of em for being lazy in the morning, b/c I like being lazy in the mornings too, lol.

Mine are the complete opposite! When I let them out of their crates they go tearing through the house! They then get let out to do their business and that calms them a little but not very much. Mine aren't usually lazy at all.

Molly wakes me up in the morning between 7 and 7:30. Potties, eats, potties, then plays. She's adapted to my teaching schedule, which changes each semester. Right now, she just crashes out by 9 AM and is mellow until I get home around 3:30. She does her own basset thing all afternoon, playing, napping, whatnot. She's not crated or fenced off anywhere, but is quite well behaved. I guess she sleeps all day so she can play all evening, when her true puppiness comes out

Annie is majorly spoiled with human time since I have been unemployed for soo long. She doesn't wake me up, but I know she is awake watching me. She gets up when I do, to outside for potty and sniffing out a spot in the sun while I drink coffee and apply for jobs. Then we share some fruit and sometimes veggies, her favorite part of the morning LOL.

Our dogs have the routine of getting us up by at least 7am so they can have their breakfast. I think they have a built in clock because they KNOW when breakfast and dinner is. They will have breakfast, go out for a potty and then our princess Ms. Layla decides she will go back to bed in our bed. She roots around in the bed throwing blankets and pillows every which way until she finds that the bed meets her snuggly standards. She will typically sleep until 10 or 11am. Rosco will go back to sleep but only where ever we are. There are days, like today, were my husband Vic (aka vb3 on here) will get up, get ready for work, take care of the hounds and then help them into bed so they can sleep with me. Today we didn't rise and shine until about 10am....the only reason I woke up then was because I got and nice slobbery kiss from Layla!

opus

Opus is LAZY. He gets up around 7 or 8 goes out for a wee, rumbles back in, takes a tablet, has some milk and returns to bed for another three hours or so, then takes a late brunch. He loves his bed.

My guy has arthritis so in winter he sleeps in a crate which is covered in a heavy blanket to minimise draughts. Each morning at roughly the same time, I get up go downstairs and on passing open it, he usually saunters out in minutes with his tail wagging. If however I am early I am usually met with a 'grunt' and him turning his head away and I've known him to stay there for 30 minutes before he honours me with his presence.

if i'm up and running around, bowser usually wants to follow me and be at my feet...but it's still the getting up to even do that where he crawls around, whines a bit, looks off the edge of the bed, flops over...i usually come over and help him down because i dont want him jumping on his front foot, but that's not why he's waiting and slouching around *lol* he just doesn't want to get up!
He will sometimes wake me in the middle of the night or in the morning to get up and go pee and get breakfast, but even if he's the one doing the waking, he STILL acts like this. Just more insistently crawling to my face and more loud whining *lol*

I do believe i have the most lazy basset ever. He's perfect for me : )
