Dearest Hound,
It's brilliant that you're so alert and vigilant in the night. However, the reasons you should wake us up are very limited. They are as follows:
1. A burglar has broken into the house and is coming up the stairs to murder us in our bed. The cat doesn't count.
2. You can see flames in the house. This is different to sunrise.
3. There is a strange noise suggesting impending catastrophe e.g. the ground rumbling. The guinea pigs having a drink is not a valid reason.

4. You are poorly. 'I need a cuddle at 1am' is not an illness.
5. It is at least 7.30am, therefore it's breakfast time. 2.30 and 7.30 are very very different.
Before you wake us up, please think very carefully about whether points 1-5 are happening, or if you're just being a wretch!
Thanks everso,
Your exhausted Mummy & Daddy x
