<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Emily, my two bassets do the same thing, they do not like to be woken up
unless it is for a treat or a walk!! Then their forgiveness comes swiftly! Ha
ha Seriously, though I have noticed that at times Diva seems to be very, very sensitive
to it and gets really angry when she is disturbed! A couple days ago, she was on
my bed and Sophie was whining to get up there, so I put her up on the bed, and diva
felt the bed moving I guess and woke up and started attacking her!!! It was more
bark than bite, and the two of them are very territorial about the bed and sofa,
they like to prevent the other from getting up there by standing up in front of
where the other one wants to jump up…it’s funny to watch. But it does
concern me that one time she may not be fully awake and snap at me or one of our
kids or the neighborhood children who don’t know better. Luckily she is my
shadow and never leaves my side, and I am not dumb, I just leave her alone…I
also hate to be disturbed while I’m sleeping, and I bite…hard!! Ha
ha Sophie does it to, but she gives plenty, plenty warning growls to let you know,
and if she gets really mad, she’ll just get up and move to another spot…and
give you a look that says “How dare you? Hurumph!” I’d like
to hear what other droolers say concerning this behavior. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
