As I've mentioned previously, Sugar & I keep different schedules. She goes into work before 7:00AM and I go to work in the early afternoon. I usually sleep until around 9:30 every morning.
Scooter & Jenny both get up when Sugar does and see her off, and then find a spot on the bed to wait me out. Scoots has tried to get me up in the past, but it just resulted in him being escorted off the bed, so he pretty much lets me sleep in now.
Until this morning...
Sugar left around 6:45 and I vaguely remember hearing her leaving. Around 7:30 (I'm sound asleep) I hear the TV come on. We recently purchased a new television for the bedroom, and it does all kinds of fancy (and mostly useless) stuff, so I assume I must had inadvertently programed a sleep timer or something. Startled, I get out of bed to turn it off, and figure I'll mess with the settings later.
I look around for the remote, and it's right where we usually put it, on top of our tall-boy dresser. We keep keys, Carmex, and other stuff on the dresser, as the top is rather high, about 5 feet from the floor. Keeps Scooter out of our stuff that way.
Yeah, you guessed it. As I find the remote, I also find Scooter on the top of dresser alternately looking at the remote, the TV and then me. He found the power button, and turned the TV on.
As Arlene says, "Never a dull moment"...

Now keep in mind there are 9 cat's and 2 dogs.. the dogs were fine and Ghost still comes in and sleeps in her bed ( she is 15 and deserves it) .. but the cat's?? They would all want to sleep on top of us, then they would do the Scooter trick, one would step on the remote for the ceiling fan then the same remote turned on the big over head light, then the TV on and off.. man they just had too much fun.. so no more.
