Oh Dog! Happy Saturday!
We have a game here at the Rumpydog household every weekend- see how early we can wake Jen up to feed us!
It’s so much fun….. well, not for Jen. But the rest of us have a blast!
In fact, it’s so much fun, I wrote a poem about it. I call it,
Saturday Morning Sports Center
It’s morning, and we want to eat,
but the human is still sound asleep.
So we’ll whine and we’ll cry,
then we’ll pat on her eyes.
Fed early on Saturday. Sweet!
What about you? Do YOU play this game with YOUR humans?
Dogpaddling Through Life 
The poem says it all.
Is it like that at your house?
I just renamed our Rottie the strawberry alarm clock because he wakes us the second a bit of sun illuminates the sky. Our Rattie loves to sleep but the big guy wants to go! Loved your poem!
Thank you! And I’m with ya there, Straw!!!! woo woo!
hahaha, great poem! Rumpy, that’s a super game, I will play it too! Any rules I have to consider? Have a super weekend and I hope you will win the game :O)
The only rule we have is that the winner is the one that makes the human get up and feed us!
Funny! The cat is ALWAYS up before everyone!!
I think they stay up all night waiting……
In our house we (the humans) are early risers so there is no problem. In fact, Mollie (the cat) is usually sleeping when her breakfast comes. The rest of the cats wait patiently. If I am late (like I don’t feel well) all 4 cats pile onto the bed and purr. That will wake the dead.
Your cats are much better behaved than mine *sigh*
The only one that ever dared wake up Mum was Bozie, my adopted Daddy cat. Sid and I don’t dare. Happy Caturday!
DeDe used to wait until the cats had Jen semi-conscious then would rub up against the bed really hard to bounce her up.
Same game at our house. Maybe there is an organized league.
It’s a conspiracy!
That is a great poem!
Do you wake your human up early Dennis?
The cats here aren’t effective enough so I like to chime in with a special cry I’ve developed that is so high pitched that people think there’s a small, young dog hidden in the house. It is VERY loud too, because I have a deep chest. I bet you could get an excellent high yoddle going to help the cats Rumpy! They’re cats. They need help.
I don’t cry but I do whine!
Oh Rumpy and kitties! Me and Nalle and kitty sisfur Zoe and brofur Apollo wait until AlphaWolfieMamaBear gets up! Woooooooowooooooooooo!
Jen is so jealous!
Oh gosh! We sure do! And we always win!!! Muahahahaha!!!
Winner! Winner! Cat food dinner!
Our two cats play that game at our house, too — only their aim is to wake up “Mama”. Hugs to you, Rumpydog! 🙂
I’m sure they are quite effective at doing so too!
You bet. I think most pets have that place in their hearts for their human counterparts!
Actually, my pets are pretty good with that!
Thankfully they are patient when it comes to feeding times! Shocking I know!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Shocking is an understatement!
We play, “whine till they take us to the dog park” and “whine till we go for a walk” and then there’s “whine when we want snacks, especially what they’re eating” and oh yeah, don’t we can’t forget, “a SCREAMING whine whenever company comes and they put us outside” – how rude is that!!! Happy Saturday, wag wag, Max & Bella
I’m guessing it’s an effective ploy too!
Parents desire to sleep in once in a while.
What? That’s not allowed!
I luvs waking my Hooman up early! Abowt 5:30 is good, speshully when it’s the weekend…. 😉

That’s fun! And it sounds so simple. I never wake Mom up. She always gets up before me and calls me lazy!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
You don’t know what you’re missing!!!
Hilarious!
WOOF!
(Did I say that right?)
Next time, spit a little with the “ffff” sound.
There are times that BJ decides he needs to go out at 2 or 3 in the morning. He comes over and hits me a few times. If that doesn’t work, he pulls the covers off me. Remember, I’m in an apartment in a city. I need to get dressed put shoes on and take him out. Grrrrrrr
You’re more dressed than some folks are at Walmart!
Love the poem and photos. Our two cats are used to being brushed first before they’re fed. But, yes, they do nag for us to get up early and take care of their needs. They have Part 1 – some wet food. Then, we have wait about a half hour for Part 2 – the dry food. Otherwise, they’d gobble it all down in a nanosecond and might get sick. 😉
Not diz mornin…me let Mum sleep in cause her pain bin so bad!!!
Da 6 A.M. get up n feed me game makez Mum grumpy when she iz in so much pain….Miss Jen iz not a grumpy like me Mum iz she!!
Lub Nylablue ❤ ❤
What a lovely Saturday Sports Center! and the poem is funny, too! *Oops! I’m sorry Jen….*ahem ahem…*
We used to try to do this to our mom, too but she was sooooo mad at us and she decided to sleep in a different room from us…..so we have to wait for her feeding us in the morning…*sniff*
Hehehe you guys are funny,I try too play but mummy gets up early any way,xx Speedy
Hahaha I like it! When Kasper decides it’s time to get up, he will sit and stare at the bedroom door and whine continuously…always manages to get me out of bed 😉
I get pleasure from, lead to I found just what I used to be having a look for.
You have ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you
