My before work routine with the pup....I take Holley out... When we come in, I get my cereal, coffee and two milk bones- As she watches vigilently. (This is around 5AM, she gets her breakfast around 7) I usually give her one treat when i sit down. She then sits by me and waits till i give her the second one when i am done my cereal. She then dissapears, usually to sleep in MY bed.
