mine is a doxxie lab mix, but he does the same thing. hes only a pup, so he still has a smallish bladder. he sleeps under the blankets, but when its time to get up he does a quick quiet pace around the room, and if i dont get up he climbs on the top of the bed where my head is and just sniffs my ears cause the noise is annoying and it wakes me up. so then if i don't get up, and I roll over, he noses my back so I'll lift the covers for him and he can crawl back under for 20 minutes. but the second my hand touches him, its game on. there's no chance. its a solid 5 minutes of whole-body wiggle cuddles, then some play fighting, then we're off to pee and poop. He loves routine. he won't get in to bed until I've gotten in and tucked myself in, then rearranged the blankets. he knows the precise minute he gets his dinner. and after breakfast he waits patiently at the stairs for my brother's dog to wake up in 20 minutes or so.

love this little monster.
