Hudson is a fine looking boy Zoe. Both my Flat Coats used to try getting us up really early when they were younger and the only way to stop it was to hide under the pillow and try to ignore it (a bit like letting your baby cry it out - not easy but worth it in the long run). Murphy still tries it on sometimes. Just out of interest do you feed Hudson as soon as you get up - I did and this was definately another of my mistakes . Now they are fed when it suits me not when they dictate it.
Love the picture of Maggie and Elsa on dog of the day.
