Our pets can be very particular about their schedules and about the things they like and dislike around the house. Our Pit Bull sheds a lot, so we vacuum every day. Even though she’s been with us for two years, she still runs and hides every time it comes out!

For this mini Doberman named Cowboy, the list of things he doesn’t vibe with is a long one, and we can totally relate to a few of them. First up: waking up in the morning. Cowboy is absolutely not a fan of early rising. Make sure your sound is on to hear the grouchiest but cutest wake-up ever!

Cowboy’s mom shares in the video’s caption, “He just wants to go to bed early, sleep in, abolish all flies, and no weather of any kind… Is that too much to ask???” Sounds totally reasonable to us!

Funny Reactions to the Picky Dog

Like many viewers, we could relate to Cowboy’s long list of no thank-yous. @Heather was spot on when she shared, “His working hours are 11 a.m.-8 p.m. during perfect weather, no holidays.”@A.B. logical responded, “8 p.m.? That’s practically the middle of the night.” Cowboy’s mom replied, “Almost perfect… 8 p.m. is pushing it, LOL! He goes to bed after his 6 p.m. dinner.”

@gatsby wasn’t wrong when they shared, “I mean the dog is on to something, going to bed early and sleeping in late, only going out when it’s nice. Personally, I think he’s smarter than all of us, LOL!” @Sweetie_Woods cracked us up with, “I don’t think he likes being awake!”

Commenter @Clair shared, “He needs a sleep mask, a night light, rain/snow boots, umbrella, and NO PARTIES OR HOLIDAYS!!!” The guy knows what he likes and what he doesn’t!
