Do your dogs have a bedtime routine?

Jerzey has no routine. At all. I kind of prefer it that way because my schedule is different every day so it works for us.

We don't really have a routine, except for each to go potty one last time. We sleep in the upstairs and the dogs sleep on the first floor usually in the living room or the den. They can sleep wherever they want so it depends if they feel like sleeping in front of the woodstove (which they usually do) or if its too warm they like to go in the bathroom where it is much cooler.
I usually lay down in front of the woodstove for a while before bed and usually all 3 lay around me and we snuggle in front of the fire. Last night I fell asleep there hugging Max for about a half hour. He LOVES to be snuggled.

around 10pm we do a "last call" potty outside, then they follow me in the bedroom. I love on them each and tell them night-night. Shay sleeps on the floor next to our bed on my side in his bed and Meb sleeps at the end of the bed on his bed. Halfway through the night Shay will get up and sleep in his recliner or on the couch and Meb will sleep in the middle of the living room floor or in the cage in the kitchen.

Well sorta of.
Around 10 or 11 we all (me the bf &Keys) have a snack, then watch some tv together.
Last potty break around 12.
Then hugs & kisses from Keys, then he gets on the floor & goes to bed. (After a few min of whining.)

My dogs have a routine for everything.

Starting with both of them on the bed to wake me up when the sky first begins to get lighter at dawn.

Ending when I go to bed and one jumps on the foot of then bed, the other checks to make sure I'm really going to bed and goes to sleep on the sofa or living room floor. Only to jump on the bed to wake me at dawn.

And heaven help me if I deviate from the expected routine.

We could never forget night time treats - the dogs sit at the top of the steps drooling and staring at you as you walk up. And if I forget something downstairs, they go back to the top of the stairs and wait to see if I am goign to bring them another!

If we are at my parents house, they have a better view of the downstairs. So, after I give them their treats they sit patiently waiting for my mom to cave in and bring them another! It is funny to watch their heads follow her around as she locks up and gets ready to come upstairs to bed.
