How to Awaken This Teenager

Yesterday I copied an e-mail I had received:  How to Awaken a Teenager.  Unfortunately the e-mail did not have the author's name, so I have no idea who to credit with the writing.
YS does a pretty good job waking up by himself, especially when Pepper is an eager alarm clock.  Here is a sample of what happens in our house in the morning:
Obviously this is a reenactment:  YS does not sleep on the floor.  After I tell Pepper "Tell your boy to get up", she goes into alarm clock mode, jumps on his bed, and starts waking him up, with me egging her on to not only get her boy up, but for her to "do your job".  All with a wagging tail.  Oh, to be that happy in the morning.

  2. Pepper does a very good job! your son is so patient with her too as she licks his face. I'm not sure how I would feel with puppy kisses so early in the morning :)

    seems like a great system though to get the teen out of bed to start his day :)

  4. If you need more help with the wakeup, I will send, Cecil, my cat. Because I get up by 4:15 am on workdays, on my days off he is in my face from 4:45 until at least 5:30. I guess by then he feels I am a lost cause!

    Loved your post!
