King of my Castle

One thing you don't yet know about Paddington... he is NOT a morning dog! Most dogs, including Baloo, battle to sleep past 5am and seem to accept even the slightest movement on your part as an invitation to jump on you and bark: "Good Morning World!!!"

Not Paddington. Paddington is only a year old now and LOVES his sleep. He's first in bed at night (which means we have to wrestle him for blankets and bedspace) and the last to get up in the morning. If only one of us gets up in the morning he'll stay in bed with the other one that's still sleeping... not even the smell of food or the sound of car keys can lure him downstairs.

When his majesty does eventually get up, he strolls outside to do his "morning business", goes past the kitchen for a bite to eat and then heads back upstairs and out onto the balcony for a good view of his kingdom. Here he's pictured on the balcony, ready to start his day... It's a tough life, but somebody's gotta do it!:)
