Sleeping

I finally got a good nights sleep!

My mommy ran around with me in the morning even though she wasn't feeling well, then
she insisted that my daddy play alot with me when he got home.

I kept falling asleep during the day but mommy kept waking me up, except when she fell asleep for an
hour or so in the middle of the day. ( thanks to me keeping her up)

Mommy told my daddy that he should play with me more in the morning like he used to, but he denied
having that pattern.

Daddy played with me last night for a while and my mommy was happy to see me happy and smiling.
She said she hasn't seen that in a while, I guess I was missing that play time with my daddy.

He has been so busy with work and getting the house ready to sell, that he has not been giving me much
attention, and I guess I noticed it.

Let's see what happens tonight.
He didnt play with me this morning so now mommy has to do it, even though she doesnt feel well.
I am sure she will make him play with me tonight, so I dont keep her up.

I'll keep you posted....

Still not sleeping

It's like night and day are reversed all of a sudden.
Even Benedryl doesnt make me stay alseep.
I wake up at midnight or 2am , if i go to sleep at all, and whine until my human wakes up.
she puts me back on my chair and tells me to stay but then I get down and whine again.
She yells at me and that sometimes keeps me quiet but I stay near her lust looking at her.
I am driving her crazy.
She isnt sleeping and really needs her beauty sleep, she looks awful!

I sleep alot more during the day and they try to lay with me but I dont last long before I just want to lay down again.

I think I may have symptoms of a brain disorder, CDS.
My mom is going to suggest that ot the vet, but she doesnt like him since he seems to
be convinced its normal age behavior problem.
She looked it up and he couldnt be more wrong.
She thinks he is biased, and may have to move on to another vet.

Any suggestions for a good vet near Rocky Point, NY?

Still not sleeping at night!

I went to the Vet and had blood work done and so far nothing shows up and the question still
remains the same; why aren't I sleeping at night?

I am fine during the day but at night I dont sleep and am restless and whine to get my humans up.
I driving driving them crazy and they are very concerned about this.

I had to take half a benedryl tablet the other night which helped keep me from being restless but I still
woke up easily and very early - 4:30am.

If anyone reading this has any ideas I an open to suggestions.

the vet thinks its anxiety and behavior issue but I am well behaved during the day so I am not buying
that one.

Any ideas?
