I have to admit I’m no longer a night owl. When I was younger I had no problem staying up late, but now I like being in my jammies by 8 pm \u2014\u00a0at the latest. My dogs are homebodies as well and have their own little routines before they let me know they’re ready to hit the hay<\/a>.<\/p>\n Echo the Golden Retriever<\/a> makes no bones about when it’s time for lights out, even if there’s company in the house.<\/p>\n In the TikTok from @echogoldenbear, the precious pooch walked into the room covered in a blanket and carrying a stuffed animal in his mouth. Echo was clearly trying to send a message to his family’s visitors.<\/p>\n “My dog coming to remind our guests that it is 9pm and lights better be out because he has a strict bedtime routine,” the onscreen text explained.<\/p>\n Echo must have started feeling drowsy, which told him it was time for bed. He took it upon himself to tell people to leave in a straightforward manner. He sat down and gave a stare that seemed to say, “I’ll show you out.” The determined dog dropped the toy from his mouth to emphasize his directive.<\/p>\n “He’s serious about bedtime,” the caption added.<\/p>\n It’s hard to tell if Echo’s tactics worked but he probably persisted in making his point until he cleared the room.<\/p>\n Viewers got a kick out of Echo’s blunt style and related stories of their own pets wanting to catch some Zs.<\/p>\n “Had a dog that would go sit by the front door and quietly bark when he thought guests should leave,” one remarked.<\/p>\n Related: Golden Retriever Puppy’s Funny ‘Sneak Attack’ on Dog Sibling Ends in the Cutest Chaos<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n “9 pm? So he likes to party I see. Our pups are at the bedroom door by 7:45,” another commented.<\/p>\n “My dog has a stuffed bat and at 9 pm here he comes with it,” a follower shared.<\/p>\n “I had an Italian greyhound that used to do this with her bedtime toy. It was adorable,” someone noted.<\/p>\n Echo definitely has his priorities straight and sleep is at the top of his list!<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a><\/strong>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade Pets<\/a> on Nov 16, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
