Gizmo's Waking Up Routine: leaping on my crotch early AM

Here's the deal: you wake up, then I REALLY wake you up. 

       Gizmo’s new morning routine: After sleeping through the night, after bedding himself down in our bedroom in various places (by my side of the bed, in the bathroom directly on the path that we might take, hidden and squished behind a chair, ensconced between the legs of a night table, etc.), he finally stirs whenever one of us gets up.  He observes us closely.  If there is any indication at all that he might be welcome on our bed (the slightest nod of the head, the merest glance from him to the bed, etc.), he leaps.

        Generally, that first jump lands him directly on my crotch, both paws stiffened for maximum effect.  I am now fully awake.

         Then, after a bit of petting and snuffling, the next joyous leap takes him to Grace, who is only barely awake.  After licking her face (a sure wake-up call), he pushes his head into her armpit for a few joyous minutes.  After that, it is surely time to take him out for his walk.       

        Dare I write it: we have now had almost three weeks of Gizmo sleeping in the bedroom at night, not making any “mistakes” and without being caged.  He is back to Good Dog!
