Is Simon a pug? A pig? He does make some oinking noises from time to time when looking hard for something to eat. And long ago I established he's got some rottweiler tendencies. He's a good protector when he needs to be. Lately I've been thinking he's transforming into a rooster. For the last 6 or 7 months he wakes up at the crack of dawn giving off a few muffled yet sleep disturbing barks. Here's the somewhat funny part....he doesn't get out of bed to bark. He lays in his bed, head still down when he gives off his "rooster crow-bark". It's a bit strange.
I've tried getting upset with him so he'll get the hint this isn't an acceptable time of the day to be barking. I've tried keeping him up later thinking that will help him sleep in, it doesn't. I've tried all I can think of. Since it's not getting light out as early anymore it has gotten better, he isn't quite as early with his rooster crow-bark but he's still doing it. I just wish I could break him of this new habit he's developed. I'm still hopeful that the colder the mornings get the more he'll enjoy his bed, feeling no need to bark.
When he first started this I assumed he barked because he was startled by noise from the downstairs neighbors. However, they moved out months ago and he's still barking almost every morning. Oh how I miss the good ole days when Simon loved to sleep in and was more courteous to his mommie! Sime, Sime, my dear sweet Rooster Sime! Lol!
