our dogs wake us up around -630 every morning to go outside and do their business. I sleep in the living room in my giant recliner because I cannot sleep on my shoulders any longer. So, when wifey opens the bedroom door the dogs clipity clop through the kitchen to the front door. As for pickle ball, it is favorite amongst the 50 and over crowd. I have not seen it played and I have no desire to learn. Besides, that would require being with humans. No thank you
