Parental Curfews


Mom used a version of this post for her Wordless Wednesday post last week. She carefully never explained what the picture demonstrated so we insisted she blog about it this week.

Mom and Dad need a bedtime curfew. As Shelties, it is our job to shepherd our sheep and keep them safe. However, if they will not go to bed however are we to get our sleep? Katy and can usually push Mom into going to bed, but Dad is a night owl. How is a Sheltie to get its beauty sleep when we are kept away waiting for the humans to go to bed? After seeing these exhausted faces would you force us to wait up for you?

  1. Kids, my little watchdog is the same way. But, you don't have to worry. Go ahead and go to bed. Mom and Dad will be okay.

  2. Oh dear, how could your parents keep you up until so late! You two look so exhausted and you definitely need your beauty sleep!

    I hope you've had a good sleep after all!

  4. My first sheltie would run laps from me to the bedroom every night at 9pm. That was his bedtime, and he was my clock. Looks like he wasnt the only sheltie who loves "bed".

  5. Maybe you could try going to bed without your parents, or are you worried they will wake you when they come to bed?

  6. My mom reads well into the night. I try to just scoot as far under the covers as I can, but man does she move a lot! And, just as I think I can get some uninterrupted sleep, she wakes up again and starts reading again!

    What can you do, you know? Hope you get some zzzzzzs.

  7. Parents, like sheep, need watching. So we are on the clock until they go to bed.

  8. Dakota is sleep deprived like you because I am the night owl. Never used to be until I started blogging. In the beginning I didn't stay up late but now that Cat Chat is almost two years old things have gotten very busy. That is also why I haven't been updating Dakota's blog as often as I should.
    Poor Dakota...stays up til I finally turn the lights off (usually around 1am) and I am back up between 6 and 7am. NOT GOOD!

  9. Just keep putting that cold nose on them. That should get them moving!
