Humans and dogs have different definitions of Saturday morning. To us, Saturday is an opportunity to sleep in without setting early-morning alarms, stay under the blankets, and recover from the workweek. Dogs have other plans. They want to go for a walk, have breakfast, and go to the bathroom like any regular day.

You can explain to them that Saturday is part of the weekend, but their food bowl is still empty, and somebody has to solve this urgently. Your dog's internal clock says 7 a.m., which means it's time for breakfast. But no one served them breakfast… What a strange delay. They have to check on you. 

That's when Saturdog plans begin. First comes the stare from beside the bed. If that fails, then a wet nose is placed on your arm. Then, the paws are over you. They lick your face. If you're still not responding, they are forced to do something they didn't want to do. Barking is reserved for the final stage. And it is always effective. Still, some dogs prefer to begin that way. They prefer to make things easier rather than act all nice from the start and wait for you to acknowledge them. 

I would get impatient too if my breakfast were delayed. The thing is, I'm the one responsible for my breakfast, so I can't be mad at myself. But I do get in a bad mood when I'm hungry, and I haven't made myself the time yet to eat breakfast like a decent human being. 

Anyway, I understand dogs' behavior on Saturday mornings. They have every right to request a walk in the park at a reasonable time. Not midday, please. So, once their human is awake, the next thing they want to do is go for a walk. And not a quick trip outside. Saturday calls for the extended route. They want to check every tree, hang out with their doggo friends in the park, and greet every neighbor that is on the street. 

So yes, Saturdog starts early. Sleeping in would have been nice, but there's no way you wouldn't spend your Saturday with your happy pup.
