Brie sorta does. During the week, M-F when hubby n son are at school we get up at 6:30 to go potty, then have breakfast, then back out for another walk, then plays a bit, then naps.
During the weekends or when everyone is home the routine is the same but the time could be anywhere from 8-10 depending on how long she will let me sleep.

I would say no... they have more of a weather routine:) if it's sunny they sleep cos it's warm, if it's raining they sleep cos it's raining, LOL. And since I'm always home they can pretty much do what ever they want at any time.

Joey has somewhat of a routine, if she doesn't get food at 9am and 5pm she barks and the same goes for bedtime, if I haven't taken her outside at 9pm she barks. The door is wide opened but I have to go with her, she's so precious:heart:

No- June does what she wants when she wants haha. My bf jokes that "it has to be her idea". I get up around 6:45 and open her crate an occasionally she will come out and i'll take her potty and then get ready, but most of the time she just sits in there and watches me do my hair and makeup. (She can see into the bathroom from her crate). If she does come out, we have to get her harness on, or block her from going back to her crate or else she runs back to her crate if she knows we are taking her outside. if we try and pull her out of her crate to go potty she just goes lifeless and I can't get 30 lbs. of dead weight out, it's pretty hilarious. She likes being outside so I don't know why she fights it so much?!

Well for Gio, his day starts around 11a.m...seriously. He won't eat before noon or go outside, he sleeps! Once he does get up, he has his lunch and goes out potty. Then usually back to sleep for a nap since I leave for class. In the afternoon around 4 he goes on his afternoon walk through the woods, usually about 1.2-2.5 miles. Then he usually naps a bit then has his dinner. After dinner is when he gets very playful! He is usually crazy till about 10 or so at night and then he starts settling down for the night.

Diva and Princess are on the same schedule. Both get up around 7 for their morning potty, they then go back to bed, then they wake up around 11 or so and I feed them their lunch (with Gio) and they go out for another potty break. They usually go back to sleep around this time since I have to go to class. I take Diva for a walk with Gio, and Princess will sometimes come but the walk will be much shorter. After the walk they either nap or start playing. Then Dinner, after dinner Diva starts to settle down for the night and Princess usually wants to play at this point. Princess starts to settle down around 8:30 or 9.

Hulks is pretty simple as long as I'm not working a day shift that coincides with my boyfriends, as long as I'm off we get up at about 5:45 for his morning potty break, eat/drink right after then lay back down at about 6:10 when my boyfriend leaves for work. We usually get back up about 2-3 hours later and he gets his next potty and morning dose of coconut oil :-) if I'm working midnights it works about pretty much the same with timing for him :-). On weekends the process starts at about 7 or so.

Dudley, 12/26/2010-2/8/16; currently I have Kia, 7 yo femaie
Are you kidding? He's a bulldog, of course he has a routine -- and no one had better screw it up!?

Monday - Friday
6:00 -- Mom wakes me up by washing my wrinkles and ears (I hate the wrinkle washing)
6:15 -- We go for a walk
6:30 -- BREAKFAST!
7:00 -- I start annoying Mom while she's drinking her coffee so we can go out and play -- we usually play in the yard until
about 7:30 (if the weather is okay)
7:30 -- Mom goes upstairs to her office and I sleep on my chair
8:30 -- Mom comes down and gets her breakfast and calls our Aunt - she's almost 89! - and I get a treat (I know it's my cosequine in cheese, but I pretend its a treat)
12:00 -- Mom comes down and lets me out in the yard for a potty break and then goes back to work
2:00 - 2:30 -- Mom comes down and has lunch...I beg and beg and beg and beg... Sometimes Mom has to be back upstairs to work more and I sleep on the couch
4:00 -- Mom takes me for a walk; when we get back, we play in the yard
5:30 -- DINNER! I love dinner!
7:00 -- Mom eats dinner -- I do the annoying begging thing again
7:30 -- Potty in the yard
8:00 -- I either get on the couch next to Mom (if she's sitting there) or up on my ottoman and sort of take a nap...I snore 'cause I know Mom likes it!
10:00 -- Mom says, Time to go out Dudley and we do potty in the yard. Then....she takes off my collar and tells me it's time to go sleepy, sleeps. She puts my favorite blankie on the couch and I usually get up and go to sleepy sleeps...it makes her happy!

We try to stick to a routine but Brutus does what he wants so it really depends on how lazy he feels. Day starts whenever king Tut decides it startes.
