If there’s one thing we know about dogs, particularly golden retrievers, it’s that they’re pretty much ruled by their bellies.
Golden brothers Colby and Bleu known on their Instagram page as the “Cheese Pups,” are no exception to that rule. When 6 a.m. rolls around, these two canines are up and ready for their breakfast. The only problem is those pesky humans, who sometimes want to sleep a little later than the dogs do.

The Cheese Pups live with Chris and Nina Cardinal of Phoenix, Arizona. The family welcomed their first human baby, Chloe, just 15 months ago, and they’ve been an inseparable pack ever since.

Now that Chloe is walking, she loves to feed her two furry best friends every chance she gets, and naturally the boys love that!

“Colby parks himself under Chloe’s high chair every night,”Chris said. “Lately she’s gotten tall enough to reach into their food bin, so she scoops out kibble and drops it for them, much to our chagrin.”

On one particular morning, Nina came out of her room to find Chloe wandering down the hallway, all by herself. Scratching her head, Nina wondered how in the world the tiny child had managed to get out of her bed, which has a mesh screen to prevent falls. She also had no clue how Chloe managed to reach the knob of her closed bedroom door; she’s still much too short to open it herself.
“We were shocked! How was she able to get out of bed?” Chris wondered. “This is the first time she’s ever made an escape like this. Did she grow?”

Luckily, Chloe’s room is monitored by a Nest camera, so the worried parents reviewed the night’s footage and made a hilarious discovery. It turns out, Chloe didn’t manage to pull a ‘Houdini’ all by herself. Nope – this was an inside job!
The video showed that around 6 a.m., the Cheese Pups had nosed open the door to Chloe’s room, exuberantly telling her with their excited snuffles that it was time to get up and feed them. One of the dogs even grabbed her favorite stuffed toy in order to “lure” her out of the room.

Chloe obediently got out of bed and headed down the hall, only to be intercepted by her curious mother.
Chris says that now that they know what happened, they all had a good laugh over it. “I knew we had to childproof our house. Guess we’ll have to dog-proof it too,” Chris said.

Those dogs are lucky to have a human pal like Chloe, who doesn’t mind getting up early for some extra snuggle time! Come to think of it, Chloe’s pretty lucky to have these goofy pups in her life, too. We’re sure this is just the beginning of their adventures together!
