Default Routine

During the week, I'm out of the house by 7.15 so Mabel always has her light on, bath and food before then. Naturally at the weekend, I have a bit of a lie in (around 9am) and on a Saturday I always find she's up already, usually sat on her food slate or under her lamp (that is off). She's probably thinking 'what on earth is taking so long this morning' anyone else's tort like a good routine?

Mabel is the same with eating too! Certainly not showing signs of slowing down.

Definitely yes, they do like their daily routine, mine are also very regular too, if you know what I mean , first thing every morning, I could set my clock by it! Which makes cleaning up nice and easy.

Mine all have their own routine, and if I have a lay in at the weekends (my lay in is 8am and rarely 8.30am) they all look put out and confused lol x
