  I never saw getting a dog as a way to replace an alarm clock... that's an interesting view. That said, I have never had trouble sleeping late in the morning, whether or not the dogs claim attention, so perhaps it doesn't work for me.

  My old girl doesn't wake me up. She's on roughly the same schedule I am (whatever that happens to be). Though she's astonishingly quick out of the gate when we wake each day. Before I even finish putting on my glasses, she's already jumped out of her bed, stretched and waiting by the bed for me to get up. I suspect your puppy will grow out of waking you up. Dogs are generally pretty eager to please, and it should only take subtle hints for her to learn that waking you at 6AM isn't generally pleasing.

  Awesome! I have 2 cats, a hamster, and fish. The cats are primarily in charge of waking me up as they begin meowing or playing by the bedroom door at 6:30am. My job then, is to wake the GF up. It's a good team effort imo :-)

  oh my god, a puppy - how awesome ! You must be so happy ! My alarm goat is set to go off at 5.45 each morning. I'm so glad I bought one. I feel like my life is so much more organised and I'm just so motivated to get up and go, go, go! I'm so wrapped up in my goat world that I don't care that it stinks and makes a mess of my house. I let it sleep with me even though it has traces of shit all over its fur and legs. They are so just so adorable.
