Sydney and Addy are morning dogs. I am not. Every morning, Addy starts waking me at 5 am with 'the paw'. I tell her to go lay back down on her pillow and she goes...but 15 minutes later I get 'the paw'. This goes on until my alarm goes off at 6:15.
The weekends are a completely different story. I would rather NOT get up at 5 or 6 or even 7 am on the weekends. So the girls and I have started the following:
I get the paw around 5 am.
I send Addy back to her pillow.
Sydney starts whining at me around 6:30 - 6:45.
I get up and feed them and let them out.
Then we go lay down on the lover sofa and ottoman until I finally get up.
Let me explain. I pull the ottoman flush with the lover sofa, in the middle of the sofa. I curl up with legs out on the ottoman with my head on the arm rest of the lover sofa. Addy crawls right next to me so her head body is on the lover sofa and head in my lap. Sydney crawls up next to Addy with body half on the lover sofa and half on the ottoman with her head on my calves.
Oddly enough, we can sleep a couple of hours like that until the weight of Sydney's head on my legs wake me up.
No wonder, I am always tired...

Lord. 5:00 am is inhumane. We've got something similar going on. I'm still keeping our girl in her crate most nights during the week. On the weekends, she sleeps in our room, but she starts pacing usually between 6 and 6:30 am. We take turns letting her out to pee. We leave her downstairs and go back to bed, me for another hour or two, O for as long as I leave him;) She's getting better though. She seems to start pacing a little later every week.
