Some Pyrs like to patrole at night even as the owners sleep. Blizzard sleeps in the hall, between all the bedrooms. I can hear her getting up at about 10, moving from sleeping across the front door, to the hallway.
The around 12, she gets up, goes down to the basement, sniffs around and comes back up, and begins laying across the hall to block it. (I know, I've almost tripped over her a few times)
Around 2 am, she begins to pace. She'll check into each bedroom and if a door is closed, she'll scratch untill someone wakes up to opens it. She does not like doors closed when she's on patrole! Then she'll choose wich one of the kids' bedrooms she'll sleep in and lay infront of the window (we have floor to ceiling windows), blocking it the same way she blocks a doorway.
By the time we all wake up in the morning, she's normally found sleeping across the front door again. I honestly beleive her body's clock tells her to get up ever two hours and check everything out. Early morning, when I first wake up (about 5 am) she is ready to eat. Then that's it. She wants nothing more unless it's an extra special treat, for the rest of the day.
