My lab never really cared what time it was. She didn't understand daylight savings time either. She would however let you or anyone else know when it was breaking daylight. She tried to be polite about it, but wasn't very good at the polite part. As long as someone got up when she shook her collar all was good. Lay there for a minute though and she would start a muffled bark. Make any move and not get up, she would bark wide open.
I didn't need an alarm clock for a long time, unless I was getting up real early. She trained me well. I had to put her down a few months ago, but I still get up at the crack of dawn regardless. I sure miss that ole girl.
