Pat, Maria and Vilma........ It depends on which species of birds that your dogs decide to sing with early in the AM. <g> I have found that the house wrens and cardinals are the first out at about the break of daylight. My dogs become restless and want me to get up at 6 AM. The don't sing with the birds but do lay on me in bed until I can't breath anymore. But I do know that Pat gets up at around 4AM, so the songbirds and dogs will not bother her routine!
And Maria can bribe you with the best wines around.........trust me!
