oLlIe hardley ever asks to go to bed. But last week when they started to put a new roof on the house he had a bad bad day.  I don't think he was able to nap for a minute all day. When the workers finally left , dear boy went to the bedroom,  looked up at the bed,  and wimpered.  Please MaMa,  I need to go to bed.

I normally go to bed at 11:30, and Winston is ready to go at 10:00-he'll go sit at the gate and wait for me to let him back to the bedroom.

Zeke is definitely very vocal.   Zora, not so much.  However, when Zora does bark, I definitely pay attention.

Max-angel was extremely vocal.  He so desperately wanted to communicate with us.   He's have this look on his face like "I've just solved all the world's problems" and as he opened his mouth, only "Bark!" would come out.  It frustrated him to no end.

Dolly used to BOOF at us when she wanted to go out, come in or go to bed.  Maddie was by far our most vocal little girl.....until Bonnie came.  Bonnie didn't like the noise and "disciplined" poor Madderoo for her squeaking.  Just recently, Bonnie will "talk" to me when I'm in the kitchen and especially if I'm chopping something.  Chopping equals a treat in her little dachsie mind.

Mine usually goes to the bedroom door at 8pm and sits.  We keep the door shut so she doesn't jump up on the bed..  When she gets in bed she goes under the covers and she puts her head on the pillow that my wife keeps under the covers.  She loves to prop her head up like a person.  then she gets hot and comes out from under the covers and shakes her ears and stretches out.....Until she is ready to go back under.

Danni knows when it's time to go to bed AND like every two soon to be three yr old she refuses to go to bed readily.  But after she goes outside it's time for her night time cookie and sure enough she's in bed waiting for me.  In the morning it's a different story as soon as she hears me move to check the time Danni is pouncing on me and trying to get me up.  Then it's a race to the kitchen for hear demanding I hurry up and get there so she can eat.

Sarge and Duggie are telling me all the time what they want.  If I don't get their dinner to them fast enough, they are non-stop bark; if someone drives by and they happen to hear them or be in the window, we are told of the fact.  When bedtime comes for the boys which for Sarge is 8:30/9:00 pm, if I don't put him up on the bed, he will go up the ramp and hunker in.  I take them out about 8:15 and he knows after that, it's time for bed (for him).  Duggie, on the other hand, will not go to bed by himself even if Sarge is on the bed.  He will sit at my feet and whine to go to bed but he cannot go (even if Sarge is already in bed) until I go.  When they want to go out, they will typically just go stand by the door; but there are times that they take off running and barking to the back door to go out.

When my grandmother was alive she lived with me and we had a cat named Fluffy.  Fluffy knew Grandma usually went to bed at 10 or 10:30 and if she didn't Fluffy would parade through the living room every 15 minutes until Grandma finally went to bed.  Once we had company and they stayed past 10:30 so Fluffy jumped on an empty chair at the kitchen table and loudly scolded everyone because it was past her bed time.  Sam and Eddie went to bed with me because they couldn't get on the bed without my help, Eddie was always the last because he had to hide his treats/toys so no one got them while he was asleep.

Bastian and Brekke are the talkers around here.  They bark at the sheriff's helicpoters (which thankfully don't fly over too often), the skateboarder, the three motocycles, and every truck that has an engine whine, when it comes to unload at the grocery store behind us.  Rowan will bark if she and two others are in and one dachsie is still out, and Robbie barks rarely when something strange is going on.  Bastian's comments at mealtimes are along the lines of "Hurry, Mom, I'm starving!", "That's all I get?", "How come I'm third?", and "I am SO hungry!"  They do not bark at my gardeners if I am not home, they do not bark at Auntie Brenda, nor do they bark ar my contractor (I have finally gotten all brass in my bathrooms, separate switches for the smaller bedrooms' ceiling fans and lights, and those two closets now have florescent lights, plus I have a decorative birdhouse in my renovated front flowerbed), nor at my service guy for the heater/ac, nor the one who does my water filtration service, nor at my exterminator.

Patches growl talks when she want s to go outside, if Buddy is on his bed Patches will jump on his head to jump in the water bed I'm surprised he does not get mad at her but he does not.
