Hi all, just wondered if any of you could help me with a slight problem,
Fugley, 17 year old female, is obviously old, but I just can’t wake her up in the mornings. It is fine at weekends (and today as I am off sick with horrible cold), but on days when I have to go to work, I am really struggling.
On sunday, I got up at eight, milled around, fed the dogs, let them out, did the housework and vacuumed. Fugley did not get up until 12.15pm. Yesterday, I just had to give up and go to work, and the poor girl obviously peed and pood indoors. Today, I got up at seven thirty, did all the usual stuff, and she is still curled on on the couch looking divine and peaceful.
Can anybody think of anything I coud do to help get her up in the mornings? I have tried the kissing, cuddling, removing blankets, making noise, encouraging other dogs to bark etc, but nothing seems to work. Obviously, I don’t want to do anything unkind, just kind but effective.
Any ideas welcomed.
