Funny! Several years ago DH was snoring really loud keeping me awake. I said, "D*AMN IT!" Our red heeler, Emily, started pawing at him. DH felt that, turned over and quit snoring. A few nights later, I woke up again and just made a "grunt" noise, and Emily came back over and did the same. From then on, if Emily knows I am awake and DH is snoring...she puts her front paws up, paws him to turn over. Works great! And to be honest, DH has been awakened by my snoring & Emily refuses to do anything. Good Dog!!!
